Bro you know home court advantage means you get game 7 at home.

That's literally it

If the bucks lose 4-0, 4-1, or 4-2, home court advantage has absolutely nothing to do with it

Nick Wright said Jokic was the worst MVP of the last 40 years, only for it to turn out to be Giannis all along. :rofl:

If he doesn't turn it around and redeem himself in game 3 & 4 this guy is going to have to deal with a major shit storm. Talk about being exposed last night against a super soft defense with Blake Griffin up front anchoring the paint, holy shit. Blake just held his ground and played back and Giannis couldn't even counter it with a floater or running hook or anything, he just has to bully his way to the rim or else it's ugly. If he doesn't respond big time in Milwaukee there will be serious questions about building a team around a player like Giannis as your #1 guy due to his limitations.


I'm loving every bit of it too, because you are always the first person to point out how Ben Simmons flaws as a non-shooter and how his inability to space the floor is a major issue in the half-court, etc, etc and it will be the downfall of the Sixers. Yet here we are, looking at Giannis (the Bucks best player and leading scorer) who can't do SHIT in the half court and literally just relies on dropping his shoulder and bullying his way into the paint. Watching Giannis try to create for himself and do anything outside of the paint has to be the ugliest thing we've ever seen, he has mediocre handles and his playmaking ability setting other guys up leaves much to be desired (especially considering the attention he draws in the paint it should be easy to find the open guy). I thought Milwaukee could take the Nets in this series utilizing their size, but man last night was just unreal how much the Nets bullied in the paint with that small front court.

the beginning of the series is obviously different between the 76ers and the Bucks, starting off with 2 games at home is obviously preferable than starting off with 2 road games

Wut. It shouldn't matter if you win all your home games.

You can't win a series in the first two games. The first four games consist of two home and two away. Unless maybe you're talking about a psychological factor of dropping the first two away games? Seems silly.

it means we can't do a fair comparison between the Bucks and 76ers at this point until 4 games have been played

Quote (SSBBWGiantessLover @ Jun 8 2021 11:10pm)

Imagine quoting Nick Wrong. The guy is only relevant because he realized early on in his career that slandering LeBron wasn't getting him anywhere, once he realized slobbering LeBron's knob was more beneficial for his career he assumed the position on his knees.

Awesome triple single again for Simmons with a 4 point explosion of offense. Giannis and Simmons are so far apart its honestly a joke that you even compare them. At the end of the day, the 76ers won because their shooters were on fire. The Bucks haven't even been near their shooting averages. Helps role players like Shake to be at home, role players almost never shoot that well on the road.

LMAO 170 million dollar contract to be the worst starter on the team tonight

Quote (Sixers @ Jun 9 2021 11:42am)

lol except Ben Simmons can score 4 points and the Sixers still win, see where we're going here? Nobody is "comparing" anyone, but i'm simply pointing out how you seem to think our point guard who is the teams #3 scorer being limited and not a shooter is going to doom the Sixers....yet your #1 scorer and BACK TO BACK MVP literally has the same limitations and it's getting exposed which is killing the Bucks. Giannis is your top scorer, he averaged 28 PPG during the season and the Bucks go where he goes and he's getting exploited by Blake fucking Griffin who is an awful defender and awful rim protector.

Embiid is showing you what a true superstar does....averaging 40 PPG in this series on a torn meniscus against the NBA's leading rebounder and a pretty good front court. Actually clutch in crunch time, actually hits his free throws, actually shoots the ball and scores from everywhere.

Embiid > Giannis is what we're getting at here.

Also, Trae Young enjoyed that Ben Simmons experience tonight. 6-for-16 from the field B)

Simmons is Draymond without the ability to even think about taking an open jumper, so you're right that he is a #3 on a Championship contender and a #4 on a super team. Giannis is trying to play point forward but he shouldn't, he should act more as a supercharged KG. Giannis doesn't have the BBIQ of LeBron to play point forward.

There are multiple problems that take precedence over Giannis not scoring. Lopez getting abused defensively is a big problem. Bud not being ready to adjust, his stubbornness to keep Lopez in and spamming 3s when we're making less than 25% in the first two games, Holiday isn't acting as the playmaker. In this matchup against the Nets the Bucks are getting exposed for having low quality role players and poor spacing. The Nets can pack the paint even though they don't have the personnel that Toronto and Miami did

Durant had the same issues in OKC because they had poor spacing around WB and KD. Durant flourishes on teams with spacing (GSW/BKN)
