It took five possessions for the Bucks to dial up a pick-and-roll with Damian Lillard & Giannis Antetokounmpo on Sunday.
This was what it looked like when Antetokounmpo caught the pocket pass from Lillard.

It’s just one preseason game, but watching Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard together, the spacing was there and the threat was clear.
“Yeah, I’ve never been this open,” Antetokounmpo said.

2. With plenty of others also out.
3. But rotation works, led by Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo.
4. The initial cuts.
5. What’s next? – 8:07 AM

More on this storyline
Damian Lillard’s talents extend beyond the basketball court, as the Bucks star has enjoyed success as a rapper, and he apparently nearly featured ESPN analyst Doris Burke on one of his songs—until her verse got cut. Burke detailed her short-lived career as a rapper during Milwaukee’s preseason game against the Lakers on Sunday night. “Do you know I once got cut from a Damian Lillard track? I kid you not. He had me record lines. I didn’t make it. Not surprised,” Burke said with a laugh. -via Sports Illustrated / October 16, 2023

Sunday, Lillard scored 14 points on 3-of-10 shooting in his Milwaukee debut, a game that was airing on an interview-room monitor as Herro entered for his postgame interview after his 30-point performance. “I mean, I’m always ambitious and motivated,” he said when asked if this season stands somewhat as Herro against the world. “That kind of drives me into who I am. That’s who I am. So that’s me every day, just being myself.” The added motivation also comes from being limited to the first half of the first game of Heat’s playoff run to last season’s NBA Finals, sidelined in that postseason opener in Milwaukee by a broken hand. “This year is obviously, I wouldn’t even call it revenge or a bounce back, it’s just a year to be myself and just have fun, enjoying what I love to do, which is playing basketball,” he said. “And (Sunday) was a little of it.” -via South Florida Sun-Sentinel / October 16, 2023

Brady Hawk: Just talked to Bam Adebayo about his take on defensive accolades being a steals and blocks award: “Yeah, obviously we have a lot of people who are stat watchers.” “Straight to the column, and be like ‘oh well he had this much,” not knowing he gave up 40 in the paint…” pic.twitter.com/VhEqUEjUq8 -via Twitter @BradyHawk305 / October 16, 2023
