Bucks up 71-64 at the half. This is getting almost D’Antoni like. Their pace is ridiculous. 23/52 FGs, 9/24 from 3... 52 shots in the first half. Winning the rebounding battle too.
Giannis with a trip/dub, but the shots still aren’t falling. 9/20 tonight... up 10 with 7 min to go.
Bledsoe trying to shoot them out of this game...
This is pretty crazy... they shoot 40%, miss 28 threes, were down early... and win 123-108.
4-0 start... ever? Don’t know. But it’s pretty damned good stuff. Giannis finished 32-18-10-3-2.
I know a lot of people are high on Embiid and the Sixers but that team is flawed. They are not tough nor are they as good as advertised.
In a way, they are like the Bucks. One really dynamic player (Embiid), a decent #2 (Simmons) and some other good complimentary players. The difference I see is Bledsoe and Brogdon and Lopez and Ersan are better than the Sixers role players. Overall, the Bucks have more quality depth.
Until Simmons can learn to shoot the ball that is a good, but not great team. Not to mention that Fultz is a trainwreck. No way should the Bucks finish lower than Philly in the EC standings.
Bucks had 100 FG attempts. That’s crazy. They only hit 30% from 3 yet still win handily. The good news is they are getting to the line (30 attempts) and are getting solid contributions from players other than Giannis but it also gives a glimpse of what they can do. Had they shot the ball well they beat Philly by 30+
It also goes to show what good coaching and preparation and execution can do for you. If this team doesn’t win 50+ games and make a deep playoff run I would be surprised. Maybe this is finally the year they break through?
