Handing LeBron?s Lakers a Thumping, Damian Lillard Drops Verses on ?Pressure? After Bucks Debut

Damian Lillard is in a transitory period both personally and professionally. The stress of which makes its way to his verses, too. For someone who has never been in title contention in his past 11 seasons, his current situation could be both pleasurable and nerve-racking. He chose the Lakers? game to make his Bucks debut, and he did it in style.

Dama D.O.L.L.A has the knack for making even mundane things sound so cool. But is he associating pressure with the game or anything else in his life? After all, it was only a preseason game.

Bucks Beginning for Damian Lillard

Giannis Antetokounmpo had to play only for 15 minutes and Damian Lillard for 22 minutes, in this preseason game in which LeBron once again sat out. Giannis scored 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 assist, while Lillard scored 14 points with 2 rebounds and 3 assists as the Bucks cruised to their victory.

Though this was only a preseason game, Damian was still feeling the ?pressure? of expectations. His Instagram post gives it away: ?So much pressure but you deal wit it? weight of the world on ya shoulders and you still lift it.? If these words are not the words of inspiration of a determined man, then what is?

As the media indulged in singing praises for Damian Lillard, there are some new additions to the Bucks that are going unnoticed. Cameron Payne is a buck, and nobody is talking about it. He is a feisty little guard who made an impact every time he stepped in for the Suns. In fact, even in his last game for the Suns, when the rest of the team folded, he was the only one to show any resistance.

If LeBron is going to be conservative with his playing time, and if Darwin Ham is going to preserve him for the playoffs, then the regular season record would be on Anthony Davis. Is he ready to be the true leader who rallies his troops? If not, LeBron would have to step in again.

As for the Lakers, for all their offseason moves, their preseason games with LeBron and without LeBron have a stark difference in approach and mentality. And if this persists throughout the season, the King would feel the pressure just like Damian Lillard.
