Damian Lillard in his Bucks debut: 39 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists



Highest points ever for a Bucks player in a debut. Was insanely clutch in this close game – as a Bucks fan I couldn’t be happier right now.

    14 straight in the last 4 minutes of the game

  2. great-nba-comment

    Cannot believe the league has allowed these two to team up. Unreal.

  3. Cvnilivee

    That pick and roll is gonna be so fucking deadly

  4. Rapey_Keebler_Elves

    I truly believe that Dame will wind up being one of the best players on the Bucks roster

  5. Guys, I think Dame might have been a good pick up for the Bucks.

  6. likpoper

    And people were debating if they will be better… dude is a bonafide superstar

  7. GusBus14

    Can’t wait to see how this sub suddenly changes its opinion on Dame now that he’s playing next to legit talent

  8. achyutthegoat

    I got downvoted here saying Dame was a better scorer than Giannis

  9. YoungDetective

    I cannot believe some people think Jrues defense puts him close to this guy

    That’s why you have to make that trade. Giannis didn’t have his A game, Middleton on a minutes restriction, and none of it matters. Dame is the guy that makes shit happen when Milwaukee used to have its offense stall.

    0 TO’s too. Peak efficiency season incoming.

    seeing Bucks fans experience Dame Time was truly a delight… take care of him 🥹⌚️❤️

  13. Carcrusher3

    The nba does not even know how deadly these guys are going to be.

  14. SUPER-NIINTENDO

    That Lillard guy is good. I wish he was on my team

  15. p3destr1an

    so many people were coping about his defense lmao. this guy is unbelievable

    Because of the shooting threats around him and the force of nature Giannis is the Sixers didn’t wanna send a double at Dame and Dame is such a great passer in those situations. He’s proven that, doubles/traps don’t really faze him, so the Sixers took the chance with Oubre on Dame, putting size on Dame, and he just didn’t have the quickness/footwork to keep up. Dame’s quickness at 33 is still so astounding. Still so quick, still one of the best dribblers in the game, still so smart with changes of speeds and so many tricks to throw his defenders off balance. He’s incredible and if he’s gonna face single coverages like this throughout the year…watch out. He’s primed to have his best season yet.

    I also love the fact that in his first regular season game Dame is the one who was allowed to take this game over and really be the conductor. It’s such a natural fit and they’re allowing him to be who he is.

  17. How the Heat didn’t offer the whole farm for him still blows my mind.

  18. thegodfaubel

    The Blazers couldn’t find ANYONE to pair with this guy for 11 years?!?!

  19. WordSpiritual1928

    17/17 free throws too love that with how Giannis was shooting them

  20. TopOfTheMorning2Ya

    Regular season Dame >>>>>>> preseason Dame

    I was slightly worried but I guess he just didn’t really care that much in the preseason

  21. Like watching your girlfriend get married to the nice guy millionaire doctor who is going to treat her well
