Damian Lillard checks out with the Bucks down 37 in what is maybe the worst performance of his career: 6 PTS, 6 TOV, 2-12 FG, 2-8 3PT, team-and-game-worst -29

Very uncharacteristic offensive game but damn that perimeter defense is ROUGH and idk if they can change it much.

Worst performance of his career? You heard him rap?

Lame time ☹️

What doesn’t show in the box score is how ass he was on defense

The tide of opinion after game 1 then 2 going to be drastic.

The crazy thing is he was worse than the stats. He was like -20 in a 7 point game in 2nd quarter. This team better figure out their perimeter defense because that was not it.

Yikes for a super star of his caliber, that’s embarassing tbh

Gotta give Dejounte his credit he put him in prison

That Flava Flav national anthem really shook him

Giannis trying to get the extension rescinded.

I will never forget that one day where we asked the question can Dame win the MVP if Giannis is his teammate.

I saw a Packers fan write “I can’t wait to watch the Bucks later” in the Vikings game thread. Sorry bro. I guess we’re both having bad days lol. At least the sun rises for y’all tomorrow
Fire the rookie coach and get somebody seasoned. Also get more shooting.

Dame def getting traded to the Heat now for Herro and a couple of janitors.

The secret to stopping Dame and the bucks this year is if they play like hot ass.
Simple enough.

Doesn’t bode well for his 39.0 PPG. That might take a hit

Something something something they play defense in the east, it ain’t sweet out here etc. etc.

Couple of stars with some atrocious lines tonight. Dame and Shai could combine their counting stats and still not have a star game between them. Everyone has an off day.

Trade him for Tyler Herro

Flavor flav national anthem cursed them

thoughts-to-forget
Don’t forget, the bucks already won with Dame in that it secured a resign with Giannis. And Dame will still be clutch in the clutch. The season is long and these guys are just learning to play together under a new coach. Focus on the long game.

I kept saying in the 1st game the combination looked weird. A lot of watching Dame. Bucks offense looked jank. They’ll be okay but it will take them time to mesh.

Let the overreactions commence
#Dame when he doesn’t get 17 FTs:
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander would never
DJM (Dejounte Murray) is a known Dame jailor.
It’s regret time
But they said dame better than steph?
