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

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

The Bucks lost by a score of 122-99, falling 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 one steal while shooting 1/12 from the field and 0/6 from three-point range in 33 minutes of playing time.

Many NBA fans reacted to his performance.

@Ar15Mvp: ‘Lady is not a good player if there are expectations’

@BIGMEM12: “What Happens When You’re Guarded By Scotty Pippen Jr”

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

@30problemz: “Maybe time to retire”

@CoryJennerjohn: “When the Bucks chose Damian Lillard over Jrue Holiday, the future was lost. Holiday was perfect because he can score and defend. Lillard prefers not to defend – and sometimes his scores don’t show up either.”

@U__G__O_: “I didn’t even know the Bucks are 1-4, Middleton is forever confused now, but still…that whole Lillard trade was disappointing”

Via Bleacher Report: “Bucks has lost four games in a row

This evening:
Giannis: 37 PTS, 17-22 FG, 11 REB
Queen: 4 PTS, 1-12 FG

They’re 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 issues heading into the 2024-2025 season.

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