The Milwaukee Bucks have had a disappointing start to the season. In their recent game against the New York Knicks, the Bucks lost 116-94 despite star players Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard delivering strong performances. With this defeat, the Bucks now stand at the 13th spot in the Eastern Conference with a 2-7 record.
After the tough loss, Lillard’s frustration was evident during his post-game interview with a reporter from the Milwaukee Bucks. The point guard expressed his disappointment about the game. When talking about the Knicks, he acknowledged them as “a good team” but emphasized that they are nothing more than that.
“They’re a good team. I mean, it ain’t like we went in there and played the Heat when LeBron went there. They made some changes. They were a good team last year, they’re a good team this year.” Lillard said.
Lillard’s tone during the post-game conference suggested he expected a higher level of performance from his team. The point guard recorded 19 points, six assists, and six rebounds.
Lillard Opens Up About His Bond With Giannis Antetokounmpo
The Bucks’ disappointing start to the season and ongoing losses have stirred concern among fans. These setbacks have also fueled increased trade rumors regarding star player Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, fans are also noticing the growing synergy between Antetokounmpo and Lillard on the court. During a recent interview, Lillard discussed his friendship with the “Greek Freak.”
“It’s a lot more natural as far as I’m seeing it and feeling it. Last year everybody was like oh they got to play two-man, you got to do this and in practice it was so scripted all the time. Just time, reps and us just getting to know each other, now we’re just having a lot of communication among the two of us, without Doc or without anybody else.” Via Jamal Collier of ESPN.
