NBA Legend Blasts Milwaukee Bucks for Memphis Grizzlies Loss

Shaquille O'Neal believes the Milwaukee Bucks could be a first round exit

The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a brutal loss to the Memphis Grizzlies entering the All-Star break. Despite the Grizzlies being down Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Bane, and several others, Milwaukee was unable to secure a win, which added another concerning loss to their record.

Speaking with the NBA on TNT crew, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal put the Bucks on notice, saying they are playing like a team that will get swept in the first round of the playoffs.

"Milwaukee needs to understand that because of Giannis [Antetokounmpo] and [Damian Lillard], the opponents are going to be playing way above their heads. But forget all that, you're supposed to blow this team out by 30. The fact that you're 3-6... when you're not playing well, you want to [enter] the All-Star break on a positive note. They were supposed to come out and smash this team, but they had trouble with the defense, no timely stops, no effort. I believe it's a championship team on paper that's nowhere near a championship team. The way they playing right now, they're going to get swept in the first round."

Any outcome seems to be in play for the Bucks right now. They have the talent of a title contender, but are currently playing very far below the level of a true championship team.
