GT: 1/16/17 Bucks vs. 76ers (2:30pm CST - FS-WI)

Giannis looks pissed

[NomNomNomParker]

Brogdon and Jabari look like they are playing for boxscore ... where were you the whole game?

They are young, but this team ABSOLUTELY plays Jabari wrong.

[Fresh_Prince12]

Parker finally gets aggressive when the game is out of reach.

[Fotis St]

Maybe whole team got Giannis flue ...wtf ?

[fansinceforever]

unacceptable loss. didn't get to watch. what the actual **** happened?

Yep, it's a little late.

[Fresh_Prince12]

Well I'm pissed but it's a nice showing both teams getting together to pray

[MoreTrife]

unacceptable loss. didn't get to watch. what the actual **** happened?

Defense was trash, the crazy switching D was especially unhinged leading to a million open threes and wide open lanes, Henson soft as ****, no energy on O.

[treego]

unacceptable loss. didn't get to watch. what the actual **** happened?

We got outscored big-time on 3's just like yesterday. We were outscored by 27 on 3's today. That is the story once again! Bucks play dumb. Shooters love to stand at the 3-point line and bomb-away against us--we double off of them constantly! It's fun for other teams!

[DingleJerry]

I mean, we've always known the team is crap without Giannis right? Should we be so surprised they collapse when he's stuck in foult trouble all 2nd half?

That said, Henson has had 2 months of a chance, have to try something else.

[treego]

When your stars are driving forwards and your offensive center is a paint-clogger as well ... and the guards are hesitant to shoot 3's ... well, it's a serious uphill battle against teams that take advantage of our switching defense and can hit 3's.

Embiid is going to dick slap Henson.

The Sixers are sneaky not terrible. Their defense is terrific lately and Embiid again is a nightmare matchup, not just for Henson but Giannis/Jabari driving. Back to back too. I honestly think we lose this.

They're 12-26. They have 3 players who are halfway decent, only one of which is any sort of impact player, and they all play the same position.

If you think we're a legitimate dog to the 76ers at home, you think we're one of the worst teams in the league, and IMO, are insane.

Yeah we have no defensive centers who match up really well against embiid and okafor.

Thankfully we have the best player on the court and they have nobody who matches up in any way against Giannis and Jabari. The rest of our roster clobbers the rest of theirs and the game is in Milwaukee. This should be a double digit win.

Yeah, I'm insane

Credit where it's due

I still think it would be insane to put Philly as a favorite against us in a future game at home, although they deserved the win in this one.

They've won 5 of their last 7, and their 2 losses were an extremely close loss to the Celtics on the road, and a loss to the Wizards without Embiid. The Sixers are playing much better recently than their overall record indicates. In those 7 games they have a top 4 defense, and in their last 10 they're at #7. And both of those numbers are skewed by games in which Embiid doesn't play. He's arguably the best rim protector in basketball, and the Bucks are one of the most paint heavy teams in the league. We got smacked around by a terrible Miami team earlier this season just because of that. The difference is Embiid brings it every night unlike Whiteside.

It's entirely possible we wipe them off the floor. But I'm just saying this Sixer team is not some D-Leaguer filled pushover of a team like years past. With Embiid they're sneaky tough. If we come out sluggish/lazy, which is possible on a B2B, they could give us trouble.

Kudos to you man: you really pay attention to what happens in the League.

We're yet a lottery team, but Embiid is really changing our franchise and he makes his teammates play better.

[JoJoEmbiid]

I'm going to the next matchup in Philly! Can't wait

With Simmons too, I hope

[jjscap]

Hey guys, Jazz fan here.. It's crazy how good Giannis is but it's also frustrating how poorly coached the team is. They could not run any offense, seemed to have no plan on the floor. It's just fast breaks and 1-on-1 s. Forced shots, individual plays.

What's with that Henson guy checking his fingernails for ten straight seconds?

Anyway I still think with Middleton coming back and adding some rim protection and depth, The Bucks may become a super-dangerous team going forward if not a contender.. And hiring a competent coach would help too. About 80% of the job has been done assembling core players anyway, adding some missing pieces and replacing broken ones should not be that hard.

Embiid is awesome, just hope he stays healthy, Simmons comes back, and you guys can get some players back for Noel and Okafor.
