NBA fans disappointed by Damian Lillard’s performance in Bucks-Knicks game

Friday night, the Milwaukee Bucks faced the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

The Bucks lost by a score of 116-94 to fall to 2-7 in their first nine games.

Damian Lillard finished with 19 points, six rebounds and six assists while shooting 6/15 from the field and 0/4 from three-point range in 34 minutes of play.

Many NBA fans reacted to his performance.

@JoestarJokic: “yes, I think bad ladies nights are just too frequent for him to be a second option. Once every three games you end up with one of the worst defensive players in the league”

@SnodgrassHolden: “It boggles my mind that a team with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard can play this poorly”

@patokeefe12: “Damian Lillard attempts his first 3-pointer of the game with 5:22 left in the 3rd quarter… and it’s an airball.”

@DaveyDatitagain: “Lillard sucks. He should have restarted this game”

@SwaggsMcFly: “Where is Damian Lillard?!?”

@kvng_chux: “Today more than ever, Damian Lillard has decided not to shoot 3s”

@RashadBirmingh1: “they should ditch Dame and trade him to the Heat and use the assets to trade for a better fit for Giannis”

@TheHoopsAlerts: “The 5th seed Bucks made a combined 2 threes tonight…

Damien Lillard – 0/4
Taurus Prince – 1/3
André Jackson Jr – 1/3
Giannis Antetokounmpo – 0/1
Lopez Creek – 0/1

You can’t win like that.”

The Bucks will play their next game on Sunday afternoon when they host the Boston Celtics in Wisconsin.

Lillard is in his second season with the team.
