PG Sixers - Bucks Roll Without Connaughton

Full Sixers team. Coasted in the 4th but great win. Whatever you think of Doc be happy we didn't hire Nurse.

A nice 43 points on 14-27 FG and 8-15 from three for a "rich man's Mo Williams."

Great win, loved the ball movement and hustle. Not an easy win against a full strength Sixers team without Giannis.

The last six minutes were a struggle, but we pulled it out. Sometimes when you take your foot off the gas, the other team starts making every shot. I feel like Philly didn’t miss for the last five minutes.

Fun game. Dame and GTJ were scorching.

The Hubie stuff was fun, too. It was a lot, but deserved and didn't interfere with this type of game much the way it all played out.

I...kinda like Kuz so far *ducks*

I’m fine with the coasting considering they play again tomorrow.

Kuz is a better passer than I thought. If he can play within himself (shot selection) his energy, length and athleticism will be a nice addition

So many narratives so little time.

Dame doesn’t work with Giannis

Nurse <<< Doc

Embiid = empty stats

GTJ > Kobe

We were outscored by 4 in the 4th while coasting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Team cancer/loser showed up big today...

Kuz is better at the 4 so I wonder how that works out with Giannis

Bench lead us to the win. Played the defense the starters didn't, dominated the boards, got the ball up the court quick, and made shots. They changed the game.

I'm intrigued to see how Giannis and Kuzma work together on the court. I wonder if it will create clutter, or if it will be nice to have a player willing to cut on the court with him.

And one of them looks like they are breaking down.

Totally boxscore analysis only, but was it necessay to play Dame 43 minutes if the 4th quarter was coasting?

There was way more energy on the court than I've noticed all year. Kuzma tried to do too much sometimes but his athleticism and movement was a pretty big breath of fresh air. Dame conserves himself a bit on the defensive end but he is still very obviously a star.

Kuz staying in front of Maxey and making him pass on one late-game possession was worth adding AJ Johnson to the trade.

Good win. Lots of positive performances. Sadly, Brook continues to have his least impactful stretch as a Buck. We look much more energetic on both sides with Brook off

Good solid win without Giannis against a full strength 76ers team. Dame was incredible and Gary Trent was lights out. Kuzma looked better this game too. Only complaint is playing Dame 43 minutes on the 1st night of a b2b

AJ Green was +28
Coach Drew: "Milwaukee has always been a team that I have been intrigued by. When we played them, they were a tough team for us to play. Although we did beat them all four times"
