I'm starting to think there's something not right in the Bucks locker room. Something isn't right with that team.

Another OT in the Spurs Sixers and Tyrese Maxey already has a Malachi Flynn statline

Wemby is obviously a great defender already but Embiid had 70 on him. Sengun career high 45, Brunson had 1pt off Knicks record w/ 61. Maxey has 50.......

If this was another French centers teams giving up these massive performances against players ppl would be talking about how overrated his defense is

Will people be calling him overrated if his team still doesn't make the play-in?

Well, NBA defense is team effort and Spurs are no good besides Wemby defensively - well, they are actually the worst team or second worst in the NBA without him on a court.

Giannis is doing a lot of work to change coaches. What will he do this summer? Ask for a trade? Ask for somebody to be traded? If they lose in the first round badly, surely they cant do another coaching change. They would be paying 4 coaches? :lol:

Brunson had 47 FGA(3 FGA short of the NBA record since 1984 and it was Kobe in his final career game),Embiid 41,right now Maxey has 37 FGA....

I largely agree, although I wouldn't want to play the Sixers with Embiid back.

Not worried about playoff Embiid. We own him.

Im worried about Knicks actually if they get healthy by potential Ecf matchup. Og has been a disgusting fit for em theyre like 18-2 when he plays or something ridiculous

The contact by the chin to the ball handler's elbow occurred after the gather, two shots for Philadelphia.

Sixers' color commentator is the worst, he was like 'what foul' even after overrule. :lol:

That was a LOT closer than I thought. Think Wemby might have gotten that one.
