Fans roast Giannis Antetokounmpo for his 7-point game against Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo garnered some strange reactions on social media after Wednesday night's game in Atlanta. Antetokounmpo notched a double-double with seven points, and NBA fans sent in hysterical reactions to the oddity of the statline.

The Milwaukee Bucks walked away with a win against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. The 114-109 contest saw impressive performances from the Bucks players. However, there was one that stood out in particular.

Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo notched a highly uncharacteristic statline on the night. Recording seven points with 18 rebounds and 10 assists, Antetokounmpo secured a double-double in an odd fashion.

Although the "Greek Freak" is known for being one of the most dominant players in the game, Giannis struggled to shoot from the floor against Atlanta. Considering that Clint Capela wasn't playing for the Hawks, this was particularly strange, to say the least.

However, Antetokounmpo still managed to win the game for Milwaukee by acting as a decoy and distributing the ball around. However, this is not what one expects of someone who is considered one of the best in the league.

Having earned a reputation as one of the most consistent and efficient scorers in the game, Giannis Antetokounmpo certainly shocked fans with this performance.

Fans on Twitter took note of this performance and sent in some hilarious reactions to the game. Here are some of the best ones:

Giannis garnered a lot of criticism following the performance. While there was some praise for finding ways to contribute to the team's winning effort, fans were ruthless in their analysis.

As a superstar in the league, a single-digit scoring night against a team lacking a definitive inside force is disappointing. While there may be ways to sugarcoat this with the rebounding and assists, Antetokounmpo came up very short of expectations.

This may appear to be a one-off, but the Milwaukee Bucks have reason to be concerned. Due to wild inconsistencies in performance, the Bucks may want to address some issues Giannis may be having, if any.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been inconsistent in the last 5 games

The last five games for the Milwaukee Bucks have seen ridiculous highs and lows for Giannis Antetokounmpo. While the lows have been discussed in a great deal of detail, the highs have also received a fair amount of attention.

Giannis drew a lot of praise for his career-high 55-point performance against the Washington Wizards. Looking like the player he is expected to be, Giannis dominated in every sense of the word. He followed this up with an equally solid 30-point double-double against the Toronto Raptors in the following game.

However, it was at this point that the paradigm shifted drastically.

The game against the Charlotte Hornets saw Giannis notch only nine points and four rebounds in 22 minutes. The next game against the New York Knicks was rather mediocre in this regard. Antetokounmpo recorded a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds to lead Milwaukee to a win.

This paved the way for Wednesday night's performance in Atlanta. Needless to say, there is some negative momentum at work here. While this is not a pressing concern considering the fact that Milwaukee are still winning, they should be cautious in their approach with Giannis Antetokounmpo at this juncture.
