The Greek Geek Vs. The Turkish Terror, Bucks @ Sixers 3/29 7:00pm EST

[Bum Adebayo]

This team will seemingly never learn that it cannot run the offense through Embiid on the perimeter in the clutch.

The key possession was the one down one with 29 seconds left, where Embiid is essentially playing “wing” and throws up a fadeaway jumper. If those are the kinds of shots you’re getting in the clutch against the best teams in the league, you don’t stand a chance of winning a championship.

On the subsequent possession you have Harden missing a three, and so both of the team’s best players blew it in the clutch.

At some point this team is going to need a reliable scoring option at those times in games. That’s the difference between this team and the best teams in the league at present.

That was supposed to be Harden, but he is washed up plus he has always had a tendency to choke.

good game by harden and tobi. Embiid didn't deliver.

This team doesn't have it this year, that's how it is. Bench is trash, the coach is awful it's a miracle that this guy has won a ring, he is worse than bett brown, it's not even close.

Onto the next one, they should rest players on this 8 game strech, the first seed is out of reach.

Embiid had an okay game. he was ass in the first quarter then picked it up. He hit a few timely 3s as well. Not a terrible game by any means. Maxey disappearing for the last 3 games is a much bigger concern. We win this game if he gets his usual 17-18 ppg.

I know a lot of y'all are emotional right now, but to say Doc is worse than Brett Brown is just all wrong and I wanted Doc gone since last summer

I really don't think there is much at that Doc is better than Brett unless you think a coach just manage egos.

I'm serious, say what you want about Brett but he at least had the balls to start TJ against Boston if necessary or knew how to draw plays out of timeouts/out of bounds

[phillynative]

Doc's decision to not put Joel on Giannis lost us the game. I understand not putting Joel on Giannis in the first 3 quarters to conserve energy and fouls but atleast put your best defender on an MVP candidate when it matters.

Embiid was scared of Giannis, that's why he didn't defend him.

If you're going to give the ball to Embiid in for the win situations, it has to be 5 feet and in. You can't do iso ball with a 7'2 center 18 feet from the basket. Not going to work. Otherwise, let Harden or Maxey create.

embid was awful on clutch time..that's how it is. Terrible turnovers and shoots

It has nothing to do with being a center, it happens when you are not good in the clutch like Embiid.

[Arsenal]

On the bright side, the Sixers should finish up 6-1. That’s a 52-30 record.

Just saw the two back-to-backs. Maybe 5-2.

Need to win out to have a chance at #1 seed. Tough w/2 B2B's w/one being @CLE. And another tough game @TOR.

It’s always going to be either Maxey or Harris, not both, because there is only one basketball.

It has a lot to do with having a center try to create his own shot from the perimeter. That’s what you have a wing do, not a center.

[brannigan73]

Not going to win many games against elite teams where Maxey scores 7 points. Roster just not built to accomodate that. 37 points given up in the fourth quarter at home = yikes. This team doesnt have much magic at home anymore. Almost all there best wins are on the road.

That’s another major problem. The team doesn’t pride itself in playing defense.

It's not the worst idea. Run 1-5 PnR to get a mismatch w/Harden on their Center. Then make sure to shoot the 3 w/5 secs left, leaving time for an offensive rebound w/their Center away from the rim.

Just didn't work out.

We lost the game earlier by letting them score at will against our bench in the beginning of the 4th.

just enjoy the ride with doc rivers. he can't make any adjustment...that's why his teams blow leads in playoffs. He will learn nothing from today's game, same mistakes will be made in playoffs.

After what happened last year vs the poverty hawks you can't deny that this guy is a trash coach.

Basketball is positionless, if you are good (unlike Embiid) you can create as a center.

[rocketsfan100]

That’s as well as the bucks can play and the Sixers gave them all they can handle. Some poor execution killed the Sixers

I just don’t trust Embiid at the end of big games. I almost expect him to recreate the Fresh Prince scene where Carlton steals the ball from Will so he can launch a half courted at the buzzer.

The Doc experience is rough tho. Playing Paul Millsap for 9 minutes so he can get abused by Giannis while recording a 0/0/0 stat line is basically torture for the fans, the team, and Paul himself lol.

[phillynative]

I feel like Embiid and Doc should of vouched for the foul on Middleton on Embiid last shot. That was clearly a block from Giannis but Middleton clearly pushed his forearm into Embiid side.
