Bucks fans lament close loss despite Damian Lillard's 41-pt charge: "What more can a man do?"

Damian Lillard had 41 points on Saturday night, but the Milwaukee Bucks still lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Bucks dropped their fifth consecutive game after Donovan Mitchell's game-winning shot with 0.3 seconds left gave the Cavaliers the 114-113 win.

Lillard was fantastic for Milwaukee, hitting 10 3-point shots and finishing with 41 points. He also had four rebounds, nine assists and a block, but it wasn't enough to prevent the Bucks from a 1-5 start to the season.

It's too early to panic, but alarm bells should be ringing in Milwaukee to try and stop the losing streak.

Milwaukee Bucks fans appreciated the effort from Damian Lillard in Saturday's game.

"What more can a man do to win a game?" a fan asked.

"Those numbers in a loss is sad," one fan wrote.

"But, “experts” were claiming he was washed 24 hours ago," another fan remarked.

Lillard had a rough first season in Milwaukee due to lack of enough reps during the summer after requesting a trade out of the Portland Trail Blazers. The Bucks also fired coach Adrian Griffin midseason and replaced him with Doc Rivers.

"He has a good game and they lose in a game that was far from his fault and folks still talking crap y'all just running y'all yappers bruh," a fan replied.

"Are the Bucks the worst team in the East? Many people are saying this," one fan wrote.

"Bucks' management have to be hitting their heads against a brick wall for firing Adrian Griffin after getting them a 40+ win record in his first season now," another fan commented.

Speaking on the "Knuckleheads" podcast, Damian Lillard opened up about his relationship with Giannis Antetokounmpo. Lillard knows that for them to be successful this season, they have to be accountable.

"Me and him gotta be able to hold each other accountable," Lillard said. "And I don't mean yelling at each other all the time, just mean like I gotta be able to say something to you and you gotta be able to say something to me at all times. He's always had to put his foot down in Milwaukee and kind of lead the charge and be kind of like the man to push it forward. And I've always been that way in Portland."

The Bucks are back in action on Monday when they visit the Cleveland Cavaliers. They then face the Utah Jazz, New York Knicks and Boston Celtics next week.
