Reactions: The Bad
- Let’s let Greg Monroe start us off here, as it doesn’t get more indicting than this:
Greg Monroe speaks out after 37-point loss: "We have to learn how to fight. We're in the game at halftime, they make a run and we quit."

- If quitting wasn’t enough, there wasn’t a lot of intelligence to how the Bucks played either. In their impressive first quarter opening, Milwaukee made 12 trips to the charity stripe, where they only attempted seven freebies for the remaining three quarters of the game. It’s clear what works, so go to it.
- These aren’t unfamiliar refrains by now, but too many turnovers and too many personal fouls left the Bucks with little to work with, and that’s not going to change if they don’t remedy those problems.
