The Milwaukee Bucks were just handed their fourth loss in a row after being blown out by the Atlanta Hawks 131-113 on Wednesday night and the frustration for the Bucks has reached it's peak after what's been a dismal season.
No where was that frustration more visible than with Giannis Antetokounmpo, who's in just his second game back from a calf strain that sidelined him for weeks.
With just over four minutes left in the game, Dyson Daniels tipped the ball in while facing next to no defense inside the paint despite four Bucks being there to guard him.
Antetokounmpo appeared to be the only one to even make an attempt to contest Daniels' shot but as it went in to improve the Hawks to an 18 point lead, he let his frustration be known.
Antetokounmpo demanded the ball from Kyle Kuzma when inbounding on the next play and without hesitation Antetokounmpo fired the ball straight back at the base of the hoop, receiving a technical foul for the display.
It's an incredibly worrying sign from a player who hasn't been shy about sharing his dissatisfaction with the Bucks or that he's prepared to find a new team if things don't start improving quickly.

"I'd rather have the emotions than none," Rivers said. "I'm not going to overdo a guy throwing the ball... as the boiling point of the game. He was frustrated. Everybody was frustrated. We scored 18 points in the third quarter. it seems like every game we have that one quarter right now."

Benny Sieu-Imagn ImagesIt's been a trend in their recent losses that the Bucks have at least one quarter where they're completely non-competitive and put themselves into a hole that ends up consuming the rest of the game. On Wednesday, that was the third quarter, when Milwaukee scored just 18 points while scoring 24 or more in the other three quarters.
The Bucks have not been able to find their footing at all this season and as the losses pile up, so does the tension.
The cloud of Antetokounmpo departing the team via trade already hung over much of the early part of the season and even though hew stayed with the team after the deadline, not much has changed to signal brighter days in Milwaukee at last for the remainder of this season.
