they are very hard to guard b/c that's all they do - bomb away. now, to their credit, they have guys that can hit them but that's their entire offensive game plan. bomb away and then use giannis is transition. some like this new style of bball but man, it's very one dimensional imho.

That's the point for them. He drives/slashes inside and kicks it out to shooters. This team is actually kind of how the Lakers and Philly should be built.

Philly were doing this last year with Simmons driving and Saric, Covington, Redick, Bello and Illyasova hitting 3s.

That's what everyone says but Milwaukee was still able to take the Celtics (who have one of the best coaches in the game) to 7 games despite being way easier to guard and exploit than this year.

i don't know if it is. they are good and they can attack too. you will need to be a really good defensive team and a very good offensive one to limit their transition.
