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

The Bucks lost by a score of 122-99 to fall to 1-4 in their first five games of the new season.

Damian Lillard had a tough night, finishing with four points, two rebounds, six assists and one steal while shooting 1/12 from the field and 0/6 from the three-point range in 33 minutes of playing time.

Many NBA fans reacted to his performance.

@Ar15Mvp: “Dame is not a good player when there is 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: “Might be 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 play defense. Lillard prefers not to play defense — and sometimes his scoring doesn’t show up either.”

@U__G__O_: “I didn’t even realize the Bucks are 1-4, Middleton been banged up forever now but still…..that whole Lillard trade has been underwhelming”

Via Bleacher Report: “Bucks have lost 4 straight games

Tonight:
Giannis: 37 PTS, 17-22 FG, 11 REB
Dame: 4 PTS, 1-12 FG

They are 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 struggles to start the 2024-25 season.

Following Memphis, they will resume action on Saturday evening when they host Donovan Mitchell and the Clevleand Cavaliers in Milwaukee.
