Absolute Shambles: Giannis Antetokounmpo says the Milwaukee Bucks are Damian Lillard’s team

Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks, and newly appointed head coach Doc Rivers are in absolute shambles right now and honestly, I couldn’t be happier.

Giannis Antetokounmpo says the Bucks are Damian Lillard’s team

“I am his biggest fan. Good or bad, I ride with Dame until the f—ing end. I ride with Dame. Like I’ve been saying this over and over again. This. Is. His. Team. Down the stretch, he’s going to get the ball. There’s… pic.twitter.com/W9kxCQ7RPo

Now wait a damn minute. Giannis really thinks he’s slick, huh? Not today. Not on The Liberty Line.

Talk about the most blatant escape of responsibility maybe ever?

The Milwaukee Bucks are 3-7 since Doc Rivers has taken over at head coach. In true Doc fashion, he managed to make every excuse as to why the Bucks have lost their way, while bitching and moaning through every press conference and interview. 

WATCH: Doc Rivers admits he has no idea why Milwaukee hired him to be their head coach >>

As for the players? Their star player Giannis Antetokounmpo is now bending the knee to Damian Lillard.

While it may seem like a compliment, it’s more of a “Dame is our leader, don’t blame me” type of statement, right? 

Even if you want to take the more serious approach to what Giannis was trying to say, Giannis is taking the more humble route by accepting Dame as the superstar on the Bucks but who the hell is buying into that narrative? 

Not a single person looks at the Milwaukee Bucks and thinks it’s Damian Lillard’s team.

It’s obviously the Giannis Antetokounmpo Show. If anything, Dame better accept the fact that he’s the number two option on the Bucks who this train wreck will crash and burn quicker than it already has.

The Milwaukee Bucks are in absolute shambles.

The Bucks are 35-21 on the season and sit in third place in the Eastern Conference Standings. They are 3-7 over their last 10 games again, all under Doc Rivers and lost two straight heading into the All-Star break. 

Honestly, I love it. 

My Philadelphia 76ers sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference Standings at 32-22. They are two games behind the Bucks, and also 3-7 over their last 10 games – all of which were played without Joel Embiid in the lineup.

Speaking of Embiid, guess who was at 76ers’ practice today?

Carry the hell on! The Sixers will return to the lineup tomorrow night at home against the New York Knicks.
