"May be worse than Trae Young": NBA Twitter detonates on Damian Lillard's defense for NBA2K glitch moment 

Damian Lillard had a night to forget during the Milwaukee Bucks' 122-113 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Monday. Lillard produced one of his worst games in a Bucks jersey. He had 13 points, seven rebounds and five assists, but on just three-of-16 shooting, including one-of-nine from 3.

Lillard also had an embarrassing defensive lapse late in the fourth quarter. Lillard froze on the perimeter as Tyrese Haliburton blazed past him for a layup. The Bucks point guard was looking to his right, presuming that Haliburton had called for a screen, but that wasn't the case at all. Haliburton was sizing him up all along, but Lillard missed the cue completely.

A similar incident occurred when the teams met before with Malik Beasley he guarded Tyrese Haliburton. There was a miscommunication on a possible screen again.

With the Bucks' defensive drop already under scrutiny, fans weren't letting the chance to roast Lillard go away after his blunder. One of them compared him to Trae Young, saying that Lillard could be worse.
