Former Bucks all time great and current Analyst Marques Johnson

showed a still shot of the Celtics guarding Giannis down low. He is guarded

one on one, but 3 or 4 Celtics are cheating towards him. Giannis has about 3

different passing options, but decided to go back to bully ball ie 2019 in the first

half.

Also, Marques noted that Giannis and Jrue had several near misses last evening

and they need to button that up.

Analysis of Jrue and Giannis: Using my own breakdown of, Makeable Misses, it seems Jrue is in for a major scoring leap vs this Boston D. He had 10 shots he could’ve easily made of his 13 misses. Giannis had 7 of his 16 misses that he can make normally. We knew it was going to be a tough road to hoe.

Philly needs Joel. Miami has been making this look easy.

Yeah, if he doesn't come back Game 3, it's a wrap.

Yeah it sucks. I was really looking forward to this series, but without Embiid, it feels almost pointless to watch.

It would be ashame. Yes, they haven't shot well the first couple games. But, it wasn't really two dominant Miami games. Which still gives hope, if Joel comes back. If he comes back Game 3, I think they can win that game. But if he doesn't, I can see a sweep. It would suck to go out because Joel got hurt on a meaningless play.

This Sixers team just doesn't have much depth outside of the top 4 starters. Which is something they have to address in the offseason

Where he shouldn't have been playing anyway when they were up 25. I can see them getting rid of Doc.

The Lakers have it rough in having to deal with Russ' one year of 47 million, i.e. maybe having to attach a 1st to get rid of him, but Philly "having" to give this Harden 200 plus mil is the worst.

I don't wanna hear any more of Harden.

Re: Eastern Conference 2nd Round - Discussion Thread

Philly is done. Harden isn't the same dude. Philly has no choice really but to extend Harden as Embiid has a short shelf life. This is their window. The silver lining here is I think Harden comes into next season in the best shape of his life. I'd bet Doc survives getting fired too with Embiid being hurt. Philly isn't far off. Maxey has come along nicely. A full offseason with this crew and I could see Philly back in the title mix the next few years. Boston/Pheonix this year with CP3 finally getting his chip.

I personally think Harden is a clown and he's gonna leave in the offseason. I don't care what nobody say, that dude didn't put that opt in paperwork in on time for a reason. We'll see June 30th though.

He's called Icy/Hot for a reason, SMDH.

If Danny isn't going to give them anything on offense, then Doc should seriously think about starting Matisse.

The problem there is Matisse isn't a better shooter. Brings better defense than Danny does though. That's only going to bend Sixers already failing offense.
