The Milwaukee Bucks suffered their worst loss of the season Sunday night when they dropped a 127-82 loss to the 7-18 Brooklyn Nets. It was just the third time this season the Bucks scored less than 100 points, and it was their lowest scoring game by far, coming against one of the worst teams in the NBA.

Things were briefly looking up for the Bucks prior to Sunday's devastation. They had gone 3-3 in their previous six games, not a stellar record by any means, but still a major step up from the seven-game losing streak they endured through mid-November. Then, everything came crashing down against Brooklyn.

It's obvious to the Bucks that they need to do better than what went down on Sunday, but at the same time, there's certainly no feeling that all hope is lost this season, at least from Bobby Portis' point of view.

"Obviously 82 points is unacceptable for us and them. Having 127 points is very much unacceptable, " Portis said (via Bucks). "So just putting more attention to detail, focus on the game plan, and then going out there and executing it with effort and energy are the things that our team can rely on each and every night... I think we just need to focus on those two places."

Portis hasn't lost faith in himself or his team. At 11-17, the Bucks aren't in an ideal place this season, but they are in a salvageable place. The task of reviving their season falls to the them, and Portis believes that they have the ability to do that.

 "I just think for the most part, you got to stay together... [We] still time to turn it around, but it's gonna come from us. It's the NBA, nobody gonna feel sorry for you. Nobody gonna come out there and pat you on your back. You just got to look at yourself in the mirror. Look at the guys that's in our locker room," Portis said. 

After the game, some members of the Bucks, like Kevin Porter Jr., chalked up the loss to a lack of preparation on the team's part. Portis wasn't with the team for part of the week due to some family problems, he said, but he has confidence in his teammates, his coaches, and the surrounding staff to put a winning product on the court.

He also knows that it's up to them to make the decision to get better and that those decisions are already happening.

"I do have the utmost trust in our coaching staff and our scouting team that they do their best they can to get us up to date on what we need to do. So I can't speak entirely on it [preparation this week," Portis said. "We just got to focus on ourselves and what we can do better. Each guy is looking in the mirror: 'What can I do better to help the team?' ...  I think that should be the mindset."
