Who’s guarding Ginnais ? Thon is good defender against Joel.

Thon is a good defender against Joel? Are you kidding me? He will body him up every time and dominate him, will average 30/20 on Thon Maker, come on now.

If Whiteside was not able to guard Joel, what makes you think Thon has a chance? :lol:

Toronto is struggling to get past the super inconsistent Wizards and Cleveland is barely beating Indiana and need Lebron to score 44 points and hit a game winner at the buzzer to beat them and you think they will humble Philly?

:lol: If you think Miami is a better team than the Wizards or Pacers

Of course I watched the series. Have you? He was horrible because he got in foul trouble because he can't guard Joel. Just because Thon is good at blocking shot does not make him a good defender against Embiid. Can Thon push Embiid out of the post? I dont think so. Can Thon box out properly against Embiid? I dont think so. The defensive side of the game is more than blocking shots you know.

Simmons/Covington with Embiid waiting for him at the rim.

Sixers are a bad match-up for Bucks.
- Ben can make it tough for Giannis
- Biid has a good advantage over zeller and thon
- Sixers bench is much better
- HC advantage

But its sports so it can go either way.

I'd add that the Bucks perimeter defense is way less disciplined than the Celtics. The way the our Model UN can get hot behind the line would be a problem (see last game of the season)

Bucks gamble a lot. They are built to gamble a lot. The key is to end the series early. The more sets they play, the better they get in reading and gambling

Thon is fouling out in the 3rd quarter every game if they dare start him against Joel. Stop the nonsense. The Bucks get swept.

As a Sixers fan I would rather play the Bucks. Simmons guarded Giannas as well as anyone I have EVER seen. Also Thon being able to guard Embiid is laughable. Baynes and Horford did pretty good on him early in the regular season
