His D has always been weak. One of the best offensive players ever but can't play D to save his life.

perfect - nurse out coaching griffin here. keeping giannis away from the strong side on defense and killing dame.

bucks should go zone.

Giannis is mid as skill goes and then you add on the unbelievable amount of non calls he gets. Dude basically walks every times he gets the ball lmao

Good no call. Dame throwing garbage up to force a whistle

Embiid won't. He's going to get injured.

Maxey making Dame look old. Damn.

That was the right call on Lopez. That off arm is a masterful move that he always pulls. Other great defenders like Draymond do this as well. If you're a guard, you're way more likely to get that call on him. If you're a big or forward, you basically never get the call.

ESPN putting Giannis ahead of Jokic looking worse and worse everyday

Giannis is still a taller more efficient Westbrook but literally the same BBIQ. Its maddening

Tucker is one of the very few players that can score 0 points on a night to night basis and you won't be mad that he's still getting minutes

Lmao wtf was that Embiid???

giannis still trying to run offense from top of the key and chucking up 3s while dame is on the court next to him is beyond me and and my words. isn't the whole dame trade was all about giving the ball to a more reliable guard than jrue and kris and use giannis more off-ball so whole offense does not depend on his low iq decisions? did any letdown ever not happen in the last 5 years because of that? embarrasing.

Lol embiid handball slapped the ball to the Bucks

djsunyc · Post #295 » by **djsunyc** » Fri Oct 27, 2023 1:56 am

now griffin adjusted and put dame on oubre who's not going to handle the ball.

Peregrine01 · Post #296 » by **Peregrine01** » Fri Oct 27, 2023 1:57 am

Embiid thought he was Jokic there lmao

scrabbarista · Post #298 » by **scrabbarista** » Fri Oct 27, 2023 1:57 am

Embiid with an interesting Jokic impression on that touch pass.

Embiid with some utterly terrible possessions on both ends.

Who wins?
