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.

Dame was asked about his first impression of the new look Knicks.

His response: “I mean they a good team. It ain’t like we went in there and played against the Heat when LeBron went there.”

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.

Fans are eagerly anticipating the Bucks’ progress in the upcoming season. With high hopes for improvement, they are particularly excited to see how the dynamic duo of Antetokounmpo and Lillard will perform together in the upcoming games.

ESPN has made a decision on Jason Kelce following his recent altercation with a young Penn State fan.

The former Eagles star had an incident with a Nittany Lions supporter on his way to their game against Ohio State on Saturday that ended up going viral online.

Kelce made an appearance on ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ ahead of the fixture, but it wasn’t a smooth Saturday as he smashed a fan’s phone for asking how he feels about his brother Travis being “f***ot” for dating Taylor Swift, because it’s apparently gay to date women now…

Kelce would grab said fan’s phone, as he was recording him at the time, before smashing it and then asking him, “Who’s the faggot now?”
