NBA fans react to Damian Lillard’s performance in the Bucks-Grizzlies game

On By Littum

On Thursday night, the Milwaukee Bucks played the Memphis Grizzlies in Tennessee.

The Bucks lost by a score of 122-99 to fall to 1-4 in their first five games of the new season.

Damian Lillard had a rough night, finishing with four points, two rebounds, six assists and a steal while shooting 1-of-12 from the field and 0-of-6 from three-point range in 33 minutes of action.

Many NBA fans reacted to his performance.

@Ar15Mvp: “Dame is not a good player when there are expectations”

@BIGMEM12: “What happens when you get guarded by Scotty Pippen Jr”

@WadexFlash: “It’s time for Dame to leave the Bucks and come to Miami this season”

@30problemz: “Maybe it’s time to retire”

@CoryJennerjohn: “When the Bucks picked Damian Lillard over Jrue Holiday, the future was lost. Holiday was perfect because he can score and play defense. Lillard prefers not to play defense – and sometimes his scoring doesn’t show up either.”

@U__G__O_: “I didn’t even realize the Bucks are 1-4, Middleton has been busted forever now, but still…..this Lillard trade has been underwhelming”

Via Bleacher Report: “Bucks have lost 4 games in a row

Tonight:
Giannis: 37 PTS, 17-22 FG, 11 REB
Women: 4 PTS, 1-12 FG

They are 1-4 to start the season…Milwaukee in trouble?”

The Bucks have one of the most talented rosters in the NBA, but they are showing significant struggles to start the 2024-2025 season.

After Memphis, they will resume action on Saturday night when they host Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Milwaukee.
