Game 40: Bucks at Sixers - 3/17/21 - 6:00 - FSN/ESPN

No Embiid (we play them 2 more times in April for those pining for a Giannis/Embiid matchup).

Philly is 17-3 at home.

Bucks favored by 5.5
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I guess Ben will have to guard Giannis now with Embiid out? That should be interesting.

This game kind of sucks now because if we win it will mean nothing and if we lose it will mean everything

Don't care if Embiid is out, this game should mean a lot to the Bucks. Need to gain as much ground as we can with Embiid and KD out.

Honestly, a really important game. Think the 2 seed is about where the Bucks will want to be if they can't get to 1 (assuming that Brooklyn just keeps winning). I know that's a duh, but having home court could still be really important against the 6ers, who (like the Bucks) are just average outside of their home court (but dominant on it).

Look, I could make light of Philadelphia and their overzealous fans, but sometimes respect is due.

Bucks playing 76ers on a back to back without Embiid. Should be a cakewalk, but probably not.

Does Simmons guard Gianni the entire game?

Tired of hearing Tobias Harris complain about not being an all star, he does it after every game. Hopefully he goes 5-20 tonight.

Will have to be a weird shooting night for 6ers to win without Embiid. Narrow win over the Knicks last night; neither team cracked triple digits.

That said, even without fans, Philly has the crazy home-road splits again: 18-3 at home, 10-9 on the road.

Simply put, Simmons can’t guard Giannis. Sixers will need to double.

Don't think they'll put Simmons on Giannis too much, match up like that is risky to his confidence considering how Giannis dominated him physically before.
