@LiakosPeter: “Damian lillard is so overhyped.
Honestly he is slow, his shooting is average and plays minimal defence.
He does not fit the bucks. Trade him for some youthful players.”
@Mister_Dennis: “The Bucks will absolutely win nothing with Damian Lillard going through shooting slumps like this. Never thought we’d see it.”
@MrPiss_man: “Damian Lillard isn’t a good basketball player anymore.”
@DameandGiannis: “I’m done with Damian Lillard. Still gonna root for him obviously but just not gonna expect anything anymore man sh**s sad. A single-handedly closed Giannis prime window. Can’t win with this version of Dame as a 2nd option.”
@HBK4EVER17: “That last possession by Lillard is the epitome of what is wrong with the NBA. Just shoot the 2. Stop trying to play hero ball by trying to pass it off for the 3.”
