Amidst the “good trade or not” debate ensuing for the newly traded Milwaukee guard, the night was not a pleasant one. After the win in the regular-season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers, the team seemed hung over the victory.

However, the spectacular performance by the Atlanta Hawks humbled the star players on the home court. The Sunday night loss has now put the team in a 1-1 position, even though it has Giannis, Brook Lopez, and Bobby Portis in the lineup. Well, with the loss, Damian has a lot to say about the performance.

Just when the Bucks’ dear player, Jrue Holiday, was traded off, the acquisition of Lillard was not a suitable move, according to NBA fans. However, Damian somehow pulled off a whopping 39-point score in the first regular-season match.

The Atlanta Hawks made Lillard just register a tally of 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists. The point guard had a 2/12 shooting from the field tonight. Although Giannis Atentokuonmpo played for the entire team, the score was still not in rhythm. In a post-game interaction, Lillard explained how he needed to improve.

He said, “You know we’re not playing a good game; it’s going. It can be that way, you know. Especially early in the season, you know, when you are trying to figure things out, trying to find the identity.” He added, “I got to get better, you know. When that’s happening, I can’t be the guy turning the ball over.”

Well, a lot is going on in Dame Dolla’s life, but still, this positive attitude says a lot about his conduct. With a final score of 127-110, the Atlanta Hawks registered their first win in the regular season. 

Damian Lillard: Good Trade or Bad

With NBA fans ranting about the trade, some of it might be true. Jrue Holiday was a cornerstone piece for the Bucks; however, the Boston Celtics are making good use of the new point guard. With the unawarded title of the best defender in the NBA, Jrue was indeed a player to win championships with.

It’s an open secret that Damian Lillard knows little to no defense. And definitely, it’s going to be very tiring for Giannis to guard the player time and again. Although Lillard and Giannis are taking their time to adjust to each other’s games, the regular season is going full throttle.
