Somehow PHI turns in to the Globetrotters when it comes to shooting 3s vs the Bucks

Just watched highlights. Simmons with 6 shots in 42 mins? Lol.

Also, man did Embiid get caught out on the perimetre a lot. That's one of the more open paints Giannis has had in a while.

Great to see the Bucks lift and take control. If we can hit our threes, we'll smash them.

Giannis. How good.

Kind of reads like you killed your friends for doubting Giannis.

Lol same.

The 76ers at full strength will be tough to handle in a 7 game series. They don't give you much when they play defense and Embiid can be a lot better than this. Add Richardson back, their new bench pieces, and likely having to win at the Wells Fargo Center and it will be a competitive series. I hope they lose in 7 games in Round 1 so we never see them.

Agreed. This game didn’t give me confidence we’d easily beat philly. Embiid couldn’t have played worse in the first half and Simmons surely will shoot more than 6 times most games. We’d be favored. But a series with them would be a battle and would suck if it’s the second round and then have to do the same against a team like Miami

No chance we lose to Philly in a 7 game series unless they shoot 50% from three in four games. And even then they might not win all four

This blew me away. Yep. Seemed like their whole team immediately left the court. Punks. This team is built to take us on it seems and we crushed them anyways. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly concerned about a playoff matchup with them. But the good news is they are mentally soft.

Philly can't win on the road and are likely to enter the playoffs as a lower seed. Let me know when they actually have to play the Bucks in the POs.

This is where I'm at, and looks like every team above them has an easier remaining schedule.

When Tobias Harris is your team's only alpha, you have a lot more problems than just "fit". They have two soft "superstars" in name only. Philly can officially take a seat at the back of the line behind Toronto, Boston, and Miami. Good luck getting out of the 1st round.

Philly signed 33 year old Al Horford at 4/$109 million to be a "Giannis stopper". 8-)

Miami just traded for one that is 3 years older and hasn't played since last June.

I really don't think we will have to play them.

Giannis. How good.

That's part of the reason they do give us some trouble defensively. They are long, quick and play very aggressively. Leaving the lane open is something that's going to happen to them if they play us. We aren't used to getting bullied out on the perimeter.

I wonder what Horford's teammates think about the perfectly adequate job Patrick and Wesley did guarding him.

Also so nobody could shutdown Joel Embiid. Neither strategy is working

The Bucks are 7 games away from the #2 seed.

Remember when fans here would have been thrilled to be 7 games away from the #2 seed?

We would be thrilled if we were 7 games away from the Nets catching us for that coveted 8th seed that felt so comfy to us.
