The Bucks rank 22nd in opponent field goal percentage, down from sixth in the league last season.

"We've gotten a little loose, a little too spread out," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "And then our individual (defense), especially at the point guard spot, we've got to defend that position better.

"Look, the perimeter players in this league are very gifted with the ball and almost all of them are great athletes," Skiles said. "You've got to be on. You've got to be competitive and stay in a stance.

"Your footwork has to be impeccable. What we challenge our guys to do from the first day of camp is guard your guy for three dribbles. If you can do that, we'll get the help there.

"You can't be expected to guard some of these guys when they have such dribble moves. But we're just getting blown right by, not even one (dribble), just straight-line driving. It's something we have to address."
