People might think I am crazy but Bucks remind me of 76ers team of last year. They have a dominated guy in the paint with Giannis Embiid and they have a bunch of shooters Lopez Mitrocic Ersan Belli wingman with Middleton Cov

I think come playoff time Bucks will get exploited by perimeter play and faster forwards like Raptors 76ers Boston. The Bucks don't match up good at all. Their backcourt is undersized compared to 76ers and if the 76ers is smart I will put Embiid on Giannis Simmons on Lopez.

Defense going to be their weaknesses if they play Mitrocic Irsan Lopez
That 76ers series last year goes back to my point. With Ben on the floor it allowed Celtics to collapse easier on Embiid as Simmon's man already had a foot right outside the paint. Couple that with Horford giving him problems and caused all kinds of issues with Philly. With Giannis the paint is all his. If you double down they have shooters all around, so you can't even afford to cheat in on him the way the Celtics were last year against the Sixers.

And yet, we're 9 wins in 10 games since Boogie came back. If I were the league, I'd be concerned afraid. Boogie isn't in shape yet and we've still managed to win all but 1 of the games he's played...despite being -4......

He doesn't really fit how they play. Cousins' value is most felt when he's out there with the second unit and Klay. There was a massive drop-off in talent when KD/Steph were out of the game earlier in the season. Now, they won't miss much.

Look at this shyt brehs. :mjlol:

whats worse is a troll referee account couldnt top their incompetence. that explanation is right up there with their deleted tweet on the james harden double stepback where they ignored the double stepback and explained that the correct call was made awarding 3 free throws for harden because his feet were behind the 3pt line.

I’m still trying to figure out why Memphis sent the Bulls two 2nd round picks and Selden for Justin Holiday ... who’s expiring and now going to be bought out?? :skip:

because most NBA front offices are filled with incompetent idiots who know very little to nothing about basketball & try to run the team like a real business
