An all-in move for the Thunder.
A stretch 5 to pair with Zion.
A reset for the Bucks who could also move Dame or compete with Chet, BI, Dort and Dame. pic.x.com/YkwPnYGiVt – 4:23 PM

Jaylen Brown face-guarded Damian Lillard yesterday and the Bucks struggled to find a solution for that problem.
“You want to get the ball back to Dame, but times where they deny, we gotta figure out other actions.” – Giannis Antetokounmpo

At the half yesterday, the Celtics changed up their matchups and the Bucks never found an answer.
“I just think we gotta have a plan for that.” – Damian Lillard

Lillard dry heaved 7-8 trifectas. What else do you have to know about a game in which Giannis detonated for 43 points, his 50th 40-plus career effort? – 6:09 PM

While people focus on the 2-8 start, Milwaukee’s troubles trace back to Sept 27, 2023, when it sent Jrue Holiday for Damian Lillard and weakened its defense.
But I believe the Bucks were truly eliminated from contention four days later when Portland traded Holiday to Boston. – 6:02 PM

Giannis made twice as many field goals (18) as Milwaukee’s four other starters combined (9).
The problems start there. Besides Dame sometimes, it sort of feels like it’s Giannis kicking ass with a bunch of other guys just sort of there. – 5:59 PM

The virtue of hunting Dame Lillard is not just that you have a better chance of scoring on him, it’s also that other Bucks have to help on his man, which can free up someone else. Great example was Tatum going at him and finding a wide open Derrick White for a 3. – 5:54 PM

Lillard will be a big reason for this monumental MIL collapse. Falls to 1/8 3PT before timeout. – 5:42 PM

Tatum can’t settle for a fadeaway stepback on a postup against Dame. #Celtics #Bucks – 4:30 PM

#Celtics played about 37 seconds of good defense and then Dame hits a rushed 3 off one leg to beat the shot clock. Been that kind of day so far for BOS. #Bucks – 4:25 PM

Chris Haynes: Sources: Damian Lillard received hit to head near end of third quarter against Celtics on Sunday. Experienced headaches and dizziness today. Tests confirmed a concussion. There’s a possibility he could be cleared by Wednesday’s game against Pistons. -via x.com / November 11, 2024
“I was talking to people in the league about the Bucks and I started hearing from people who were saying to me, ‘You know the Bucks called us about trades,’” said Brian Windhorst on Monday’s episode of ESPN’s Hoop Collective. “‘And I go about who? “‘Not Giannis and not Dame,’” Windhorst relayed as the reply from the executive. -via RealGM / November 11, 2024
Damian Lillard: “A lot of the games that we’ve struggled in, teams are just getting to loose balls more than us, they get to the glass more than us, and they’re playing at a little bit faster pace than we are. That’s giving them an advantage and putting us behind in these games, and we’ve got to be much better about that.” -via YouTube / November 9, 2024
