Bucks' Bizarre Postgame Locker Room After Game 4 Proves They're Shook After Road Losses
By Adam Weinrib
The Milwaukee Bucks entered Toronto riding as high as a George Hill floater.
And they're leaving it with their Eastern Conference Finals all tied up, as down in the dumps as Eric Bledsoe trying to explain to a Tinder date that yes, he was on the court, and yes, he was that guy.
Following Milwaukee's latest eye-popping 120-102 loss on the road to the fightin' Serge Ibaka's, the team's spirit certainly tells you all you need about their mental state heading home for Game 5.
The Bucks locker room is eerily silent. Players are all keeping to themselves, some hustled out to the bus quickly.

No, this doesn't mean the Bucks are doomed heading to their comfortable home court.
But yes, it does mean that all is not well for a band of brothers and Bench Mob that hasn't often been embarrassed in quite this stark a fashion.

Bottom line, the Bucks need to show up strong on Thursday night following a double-OT thriller of a loss, followed by a complete and total stinker. Bereft of answers for Kawhi Leonard's counterparts in this one, we'd better hope that Milwaukee's stark silence postgame isn't indicative of their game plan for that legacy-altering contest to come.
