The Bucks need a 50 piece from Giannis to win beat Utah at home, not saying Utah isn't a good team but the Bucks are HEAVILY dependent on Giannis to win games, their defense is horrible and they have questionable depth.

Lebron usually avoids guarding a good player, but playing Demar tonight

I guess I meant it's kind of a sad commentary on Demar, that he has become a guy Lebron will actually guard.

Not sure who LBJ will guard when both Kawhi and PG are playing. His defense is going to hurt the team then.

If the Bucks and Sixers don't win it all this year and Giannis asks out, Simmons for Giannis just makes all kinds of sense. Bucks slot in a lesser Giannis to develop on a team made for him and the Sixers see if they can make it work with what they hoped Simmons would turn into.

Demar absolutely torched Lebron. Pretty much goes to show who the better player is.

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Not going to lie, I'm kind of salty Kawhi didn't stay for at least another year. We would have repeated.

He could have been load managed for all 82 games and the rest of the team would still have secured a top-4 record.

That's Lowry indicating the number of championship the Bucks will win with the team they've built around Giannis. Hence his happiness.

Something isn't right with Kawhi.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/l/leonaka01.html

He is taking fewer shots at the rim and more from the mid-range. And he is hitting those mid-range shots at a lower percentage than last year. And his three point shooting is down, but he is taking more of them. These are all signs of a guy who has lost explosiveness.

Now comes the really bad part.

4.1 turnovers and 2.7 personal fouls per 36 minutes. Both well above his career numbers. By a lot.

I think the Clippers will be fine, but those numbers are pretty alarming, all things considered.

The case for Alex McKechnie for MVP grows.

i think kawhi is seriously playing the regular season like pre-season games and saving everything for the playoffs. that's why he needs someone like george b/c he needs someone to do all the heavy lifting for 82 games.

Joel Embiid can go off on 29 other teams, but not against the current NBA Champions, the Toronto Raptors :)
