Bucks v sixers

Man Embiid is good. I was hoping Ibaka could neutralize him a little, but not so far.

Embiid injured?

Bucks slowly taking control. Even Nwora is playing well.

As soon as I type that philly makes a run.

Really got away from them ehere. 26-6 run by Philly

Bud should rip them a new one at half time after that last Philly bucket. 4 guys standing watching a guard get an uncontested putback at the buzzer.

Holiday acting like he's already on all-star break. if he makes even a half-hearted effort to box out that doesn't happen.

28-8 run by Philly to end the half.

Giannis looks like 2019 Raptors Giannis so far, but it's the lack of depth and really weak games by Middleton and Holiday that have them behind.

Bucks give up 45 points in the second quarter.

They gave up 28 points the last 5 minutes alone.

Just pathetic defense right now by the Bucks. Down 13 after two wide open 3s.

This is looking like 2 years ago the way they're giving up uncontested 3's.

The Bucks have given up 40 points in the last 8 minutes of game time.

It looks like they don't care. There is no intensity and it seems like they all have their bags packed and trying to get to the airport ASAP after the game.

Wheres Ibaka? They have no one to guard Embiid.

At some point, don't you have to try Giannis on Embiid?

And then Giannis has a lazy ass closeout and gives up a wide open 3 to Korkmaz. He's not been good tonight. Embiid has been dominant and Giannis has been adequate at best.

So, you have a couple offensive sets where Nwora isolates INSIDE on Embiid for an early shot in the shot clock? WHY?

The Bucks defense is just horrible. Philly is getting way too many easy shots.

Bucks play great defense on that possession but still give up a buzzer 3 to Embiid.

One thing that's come out of these last few games is that Wigginton is a lot better than these other recent end the bench backup PGs they've had.

Middleton's 4 for 12 outing has been the biggest problem along with Giannis' semi-indifferent attitude tonight.

Nwora's "defense" allows another easy 6 footer.

Bud needs to get him out here at the end of the third and get Thanasis in for him to play defense.

Which Bud did.

Down 8 going into the 4th. Not feeling real confident. And, you're right about Wigginton. He's not the most talented player, but you have to like his effort.

Portis misses a wide open 3 to tie and then the Sixers get an open 3 on the other end. 6 point swing.

Wigginton has really made a difference.

Portis and Middleton are 3 for 15 from three.

Portis may be having his worst shooting game of the year.

Giannis is trying to take over the game.

Jim Jackson can go f himself. He actually put up an MVP top 5 list without Giannis on it. I mean, I understand if he's not at the top, but not in the top 5?

Holiday gives the Bucks the lead.

Ibaka has short circuited 2 or 3 possessions tonight by turning down wide open 3s that then lead to other guys having to take contested shots at the end of the shot clock.

Giannis with a 3 !

And philly immediately answers.....

Giannis hits a three at one end and then inexplicably does another lazy ass close out and gives up an open three to Niang. Not sure what's he's thinking.

Ibaka misses an uncontested layup. Just dunk the fricking thing

Bucks are going to lose because Middleton and Portis couldn't hit open shots.

Bucks in the penalty now. Not good.

Middleton should voluntarily rescind his all-star invitation. An unforced turnover with 90 seconds left.

Turnover, turnover, airball and then an idiotic foul on Holiday.

Choke job tonight.

Bucks scoreless the last 3 minutes.
