Giannis has traveled 5 times in the first 5 minutes of this game, and they haven’t called him once

Embiid looks out of shape. Grimacing in pain just landing without contact on a defensive move.

Giannis has a 5 step rule.

They finally got him at the end of the first. I counted at least 8 different times he walked. It’s incredible what he gets away with

Philly could be on Process II pretty soon

Knicks > Philly. Change my mind

Bucks dominating so far. I don't wanna watch a blowout.

Hmm apparently Jonathan Isaac played basketball last night?

Also Gallinari scored 16 points in 17 minutes setting up his eventually trade for some juicy second round picks. Hope he goes to the western conference.

Oubre makes his living in blowout situations. Got to give him credit

Isaac is a solid player if he can stay injury free.

Ok. That was some block by Giannis there

I understand it’s only 1 game into the season but both these teams Philly and the Bucks are not making it to the NBA Finals playing defense like this. Defense is nonexistent for both teams.

I’m sure they will clean that up over the next 81 games

Bulls players only meeting after 1 game? That can’t be good

Sixers only hope of seeing the finals would be not seeing either the Celtics or Bucks, which isn’t happening.

Both teams will have growing pains with new coaches and key players in/out but Milwaukee definitely lost some of their defensive identity. Curious if Dame and Giannis can generate enough offense for them to make that work because these other guys are pretty unspectacular, minus Portis who I like a lot.

No Middleton?? Why are they still playing? This game is obviously already voided.

Would be nice if Philly could hang a loss on Milwaukee early.

Man, I wish we had picked up Oubre on a minimum. He's a million times better than Hauser.

He's been a key cog on the Sixers' offense tonight.

If Bucks end up losing to the Harden-less Sixers, Adrian Griffin be ready to be RGM-fired for reals.
