Easily like easily. Bucks scored 107,86, 86, and, 107 against a team with zero rim protection and the only issue the Nets had was their lack of defense. 

Now add Simmons, Embiid, and Thybulle. 

I’m surprised the bucks are scoring so low even in the victories. The nets are down guys and weren’t good defenders to begin with. It really comes down to jrue hasn’t shot the ball well, middleton is inconsistent game to game especially in this current series. I think losing donte is hurting them cause their bench so far this series hasn’t been consistent. Tucker has been starting so he’s not really a bench guy in this series. Been 17 points, 26 points, 7 points and 21 points 

Good

If they have no Irving or Harden the Bucks probably finish this in the next 2 games. Our path couldnt have been easier. Just have to take care of business. 

And if Phoenix can somehow beat Utah.... I think we are getting a championship.

Utah might not get by the clippers. Conley is still out and Mitchell is apparently dealing with re-aggravating his injury. Actually think the clippers are a worse matchup for the Suns. They’ve struggled against them cause of George and kawhi’s defensive prowess

I kind of agree but.....like Mr. Wolf from Pulp Fiction "Let's not start sucking each other's D's quite yet gentlemen."  Let's just finish off the Hawks and see what happens next!

So you expect the Sixers in 6 with double digit wins each time?

I could see it, yes, unless the Bucks allow Jrue to initiate the offense. 

Bucks have not been impressive at all this series.

Suns are playing really good basketball right now and Paul looks like he is 26, not 36. He is the last of a dying breed, a guard that gets his teammates involved and happy.

And the 76ers could have had them, but he hates Morey

I actually think the Suns are a tough matchup for the sixers. Booker always torches the sixers. And Chris Paul is playing at another level right now. Say what you want about ayton but defensively he’s done a good job making AD and jokic work for what they got when they were out there. He’s playing at a much higher level then he has. Plus you have bridges playing great. They might be playing the best basketball right now of any team. I get Denver’s backcourt stinks and Lakers with AD they might lose but they’ve not just won but mainly done so in blowout fashion besides the last game.

I agree. Jrue is not having a good playoff run scoring wise. He’s averaging same amount fo points as Simmons and shooting like 25% from three. I also didn’t think his defense in 3 of the 4 games was great vs. nets. I think he benefited from Kyrie leaving early. If Kyrie played the usual playoff minutes he’s was on pace for over 30 shooting right around 50%

yeah. I know. But I still think we would beat them.

We should actually be thrilled the rockets owner hating morey might have saved the sixers for at least this season. If we did that trade for harden we’d be in trouble right now cause of his injury and green plus everything you gave up. Long term different story

but, they tried for Paul before trying for Harden. Had they gotten Paul, the Harden thing never would have happened either. We would be in nice shape with Paul.

Harden and Kyrie are ruled out for tomorrow.

True. Would’ve been great for this year.  Chris Paul is also going to opt out of that contract and try for 3 years 100+ mil at 36 going on 37. I feel like this is the Suns best chance cause usually Paul doesn’t stay healthy around this time and who knows how many years he has left. For this year would have been great. After this year i feel like Phoenix is gonna give him that contract but totally see it potentially backfiring

yeah. thats a scary thing. 

I wonder if we still revisit the Lowry trade. 

I feel like Maxey and Thybulle have proven so much more value than the had back at that time. Thatd be hard to agree to. 

It might have to be enough to try to match salary with Green, Hill, and Kork. And use a pick as a sweetner. 

Those guys are somewhat replaceable with the trade exception, and MLE. Could see Josh Hart as a Green replacement. There was a fansided article suggesting him in the offseason. I think thats a solid, reasonable target. 

 

Simmons all defensive 1st team. Embiid and Thybulle all defensive 2nd team.

Thybulle lowest minutes guy to ever make it.

frankly i really don’t want Lowry. I think his decline when it really hits is going to be much steeper and faster than Paul. I just think someone like Miami overpays him in a sign and trade.

Josh hart would be a really nice piece to add. He gives you good bench scoring and a. Solid defender. I’d love to get him into the rotation. I looked at the free agent class there’s some guys i like but it’s really not a great class. so i wonder if they do look to the trade market to acquire pieces. 

i don’t mind keeping korkmaz and potentially using his contract down the line as part of a deal to match some salaries. 

I’m excited to see morey in action with an entire offseason here. If they can signed Ellington at a veteran minimum or close to it I’d love that move. I’ve been asking for it for years. He’s a good solid bench guy that can give you some instant scoring if guys like korkmaz and hill are struggling. 

Nice Ben...

2 missed layups for him now. 

jesus cold to start. 

Hawks are pumped the 6ers took a timeout. The score is only 5-2. Youd think they ran out to a 15-0 lead with that kind of excitement. 

If Ben Simmons could make a layup we would be leading 6-5.

Looking like game one. Can't make a single shot and giving them wide open 3s

jesus now Harris has missed 2 in close. 

Embiid cant hit a jumper at all and isnt getting inside...

the F?  passes are bouncing off the backboard on consecutive possessions. 3s are clanking badly off the rim. 

This is ugly for both teams. 

All that energy ATL and their fans brought, its a tie game. 

Trae young such a whiny bish. You spend the entire game jumping into guys for fouls you have no right to be bishing at the ref about a foul
