Ironically before these two games, he was something like 4/31 against the Pacers.

Yeah, dude is not very good.

Gee, Lillard copping it at the moment. Guy was going to be all nba 1st team before he sat out the end of last year.

Now he's washed 30 games into the next season.

Holy hat was the third quarter officiating horrendous. Went about 2 hours from all the whistles. Summed up by them calling a foul when Payne clearly just tripped himself.

It’s a perfect storm scenario here. First time being the 2nd star, sitting out a big chunk of time when you normally been full time goer, and then being a offence only player and the concept that the fall for that type of player can come at you fast which in this case it has .

I think for Lillard the issue is all of the above. I think he isn’t in the top 10 pgs in the league at present so the talk of NBA all star is dead in the water for now

Embiid isn't going to hit the minimum for the MVP.

Or maybe, like you say, it takes some time to work out a new role and we should give him more than 30 games without a preseason.

Small sample size from what I've watched but he seems to be struggling not being the man and adapting to number 2. There was a play in the third that would have driven me mad if I was a Bucks fan, Giannis had FVV on him in the post and Lillard just jacked a contested three instead of passing in for an easy 2.

It’s getting worse not better. If it’s a case of working out a new role he should be improving not regressing

You know these things aren't linear.

Also. Lillard improved in PPG, FG%, 3P% from November to December. He also went from +4.1pp 100 possessions to +13.7.

Bucks also improved from 11-5 in Nov to 12-2 in Dec.

It obviously needs some work, but the internet is internetting over it at the moment.

Congrats on getting a Jermaine pennant reference in

Also DAR is a net negative who has no appeal to suitors

No! DAR has many suitors right? RIGHT?

 

[peternorth]

The Lakers are making moves lol. They signed Dylan Windler who is a tall guard signs a 2 way contract. He had 33 boards with 23 points in his last G League game with the Winchester Knicks.

Giannis went from not even close to MVP to in the conversation. Guy is absolutely crushing it but also using alot of petrol tickets to get Bucks to this point. Come finals he is going to be gassed

Lillard was meant to take the pressure off and Giannis instead is under more pressure then ever

I’d trade Lillard for Grayson Allen 1 for 1.

Would even throw in a 2nd to make it happen.

NBA Week 12 - where Damian Lillard is washed

G'day, and welcome to the portion of the NBA season known colloquially as 'the grind'. No, not THAT one, Dwight - put the phone down, mate. Now that the fun and festivities of Christmas, New Year and the Lakers' prestigious IST banner unfurling are over and done with, it's time for teams to get...

Jokic & Giannis once again today just displaying what an incredible period of the NBA we are witnessing.

The Euro era!
