Few random thoughts:
They really have to start punishing guys for flopping. The shit has gotten way out of hand. Fuckers flailing and falling all over the floor like they got shot with the slightest touch.
Luka is good but that shit cannot be fun to play with. Way too many possessions where he has the ball 10-15 secs. Many of those where no one else touches the ball and he throws up a 25 ft shot with no effort at all to actually to get by his man. He almost never moves from the opposite hash mark on possessions when he doesnt have the ball. Then all everyone talks about is him not having "help".
I REALLY fucking hope this shit about Embiid basically pouting because he didnt win MVP is just talk. I really dont like the guy but having a cracked face and a thumb that needs surgery I'm actually willing to understand him not playing terribly well. I don't think he is "that guy" but shit he is not close to 100% and still out there playing. But if this pouting shit is true then he is softest fucker out there.
The Bucks are doing the same shit that almost got them bounced last yr. No real semblance of offense, just hoping that Giannis can make a play for himself or someone else isn't truly a winning philosophy. They should be beating the C's even without Middleton.
