A Timberwolves broadcaster roasted Thanasis Antetokounmpo right as he checked into the game

Unfortunately for the Milwaukee Bucks, the decision to fire Adrian Griffin and hire Doc Rivers did not solve all of their issues.

Milwaukee has one win and five losses in the six games played since Rivers has taken over the job. Their latest loss came at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are one of the best teams in the NBA so far this season.

During the fourth quarter of the victory, Milwaukee trailed by more than 20 points and Thanasis Antetokounmpo was about to check in the game. It was at this exact moment that Jim Petersen, who is a longtime TV analyst for the Timberwolves, knew that the game was over.

Thanasis, who has played for Milwaukee alongside his brother Giannis Antetokounmpo since 2019, does not see the court very often.

During the games that he does step on the floor, the Bucks are typically amid a lopsided victory or blowout defeat. It is fairly rare that Thanasis plays if the game is close, though.
