National media back to picking Boston or Philly to win the East in 3…2…1

From 2:53 after Jrue Holiday makes 17-foot pullup jump shot to 42 secs.

Giannis fouls McDanianls
No one boxes out
Middelton just leaves harden for a 30 footer
No one covers Embiid

Giannis needs to be better at reading the situation and understanding whats needed from him. Team balled out, moved the rock great teamball. Giannis comes in and it becomes Iso stare at Giannis. Like, i get it if everyone is struggling, but we weren’t…he needed to keep that going. Also…he really needs to box out more.

Giannis going full hero mode in the 2nd half shot the team in the foot tonight.

Khris was good distributing in the middle of the 4th but was a disaster otherwise. Really needed Jae or probably anybody else.

Giannis had no focus outside of FT's in the 4th. Sloppy TO's, not boxing out and then fouling the 3 pter b2b to keep them in it before their mini run.

Needed more Crowder.

Some great moments from this game. Terrible closeout. Bad Giannis game.

Mamba mentality. Iso freeze people out on offense immediately after the bucks go up 18 due to ball movement and getting looks for our 3 point shooters. Giannis rarely does this but when he does it's really frustrating because if he just moves the ball he can get so many easy looks and put backs.

Giannis is still a bonehead and Midds has cement shoes. Midds is such a §hitty defender. Cant win them all.

It really hurt us that PJ and Tobes got hurt. No way those two shoot like McDaniel and Niang. Saved Doc from himself. Reminded me of Boston “losing” Williams in the playoffs last year

Oh well, we might get a longer PG thread at least.

The box score won’t show it, but Giannis really took the guys out of their rhythm.

We were running the score up then immediately after he came in, the ball stopped.

Grayson didn’t even get a shot in the 4th.

The foul on the 3 pointer & the missed box out sealed it.

Khris looked really bad out there tonight — May as well have used Crowder instead if he was just gonna be non-factor offensively & give little on defense.

Horst gonna make or break the future of this team with his decision on Khris this offseason.

its a financial decision for what the owners want to pay but letting him walk would be bad for the franchise regardless of whether hes worth what hed be paid

20 points by Grayson in the 3rd and we still manage to **** that game up. That one stings. Pube game by Giannis. Can’t just run through people all day pal. Do some more jump hooks or passing or fadeaways from the base line. Anything is better than watching him bull rush people every single time and watch bitches like Embiid curl up like a baby and take a charge.

Friend texted me that Crowder player ZERO minutes in the 2nd half. Is that true? Bud is still a MORON.

Tip your hat to Harden. Dude caught fire in the fourth. He literally drew four guys to him on that drive and kick that led to the wide open Embiid three.

Sometimes guys have those kinds of games. It happens. But I think we're definitely better than they are.

The -14 kind of shows it. He completely shut the bucks offense down with iso. Then they kept trying to throw him entry passes and ruined the flow.

No pretty sure I saw him out there in the 3rd I thought?

Actually the boxscore shows he's a +/- - 14 and it felt like it too.

Zero problems with this game other than the fact that Middleton looks cooked. Not sure what to do with that
