time for more sadness

Bucks don't have the wings the Celtics do but they do have a doofy big man in Lopez that gives Biids fits. So I can still see Sad Boi Hours Biid tonight. Giannis eats against us too.

idk.

IDEALLY team is pissed and doesn't want to get wrecked at home but lol

Starting 0-2 and things could go down a path of being weird. Hopefully we get this W.

I'm conflicted: I'd be on board for a mini early season tank to remove Doc so we can have Sam Cassell take over and see if he can turn things around.

Who is ready to see Embiid sucking and choking again as usual?

If we don't see Paul Reed at all on Giannis, then I'm going to be pissed.

Naturally, PnR leads to an easy midrange look for Embiid. Now lets move away from that and give Embiid the ball at half court.

Yeah, still not worried about our offense.

Our defense tho, looks abysmal

Embiid needs to run straight to the rim like Shaq used to

I'm sick of seeing him hover over the 3pt line when we have the ball in transition

Tobi pls.

It feels like they aren't even using Giannis much so far.
