Simmons is much worse offensively than Giannis when it comes to scoring and both can’t shoot. Smart will lock up Beli or Reddick. Horford does as good of a job on Embiid as anyone but Embiid will get his at times. So I do think we have a shot just not confident in it yet. Just focused on the Bucks and rightfully so but it’s no damn LeBron James in the past we would be playing.
We definitely have a shot, but they have a TON of shooters, which is actually the toughest part about defending Philly. Gonna be tough on our defense.
I prefer having to stop shooters like Redick, Beli, Saric, Covington over having to stop guys who will put your ass in a blender in a variety of ways like Parker, Brogdon, Middleton, Giannis..guys who shoot it if you give space or run it by you if you challenge..there isn't a single player on that Philly roster that can do to us what Middleton is doing shooting the ball or what Jabari has done in a few moments of this series.
I personally think a Smart, Rozier, Brown, Tatum/Morris, Horford line up would cause all sorts of hell for those guys. Miami had no combination with as much speed, power, athletic ability, shooting and defensive versatility as that..nothing even close. Hopefully we get a chance to see it happen.
I really want to close out the Bucks so we can bring young Philly right back down to Earth. Their win streak was fool’s gold and they got the worst possible playoff team in round 1. They are really full of themselves and their egos are through the roof, but their team is nowhere near as good as their media love right now. They are ripe for a good drubbing.
