[Post Game Thread] The Milwaukee Bucks (1-0) defeat the Philadelphia 76ers (0-2), 90-88

ClaymoresRevenge · 2022-10-21T01:56:10+00:00

SVG couldn't say Antetokounmpo the whole game he tried it a bunch of different ways.

The Bucks with Pat and Khris are going to be tough to beat. They almost shat the bed. Philly really could've won this

CounterInsanity · 2022-10-21T01:53:27+00:00

No Middleton for the Bucks, no bench for the Sixers for the 2nd game in a row. Harden already playing over 40 minutes and it's only the 2nd game lol.

OverusedRedditJoke · 2022-10-21T01:53:32+00:00

Embiid needs to get his shit together

Look at the contrast in engagement between Giannis and Embiid

-raiin- · 2022-10-21T01:54:00+00:00

The Bucks are in desperate need of a 6’8” two way shot creator

kpruiz · 2022-10-21T01:53:57+00:00

Brook is back

LaudrenFareoh · 2022-10-21T01:56:40+00:00

Ah yes, a classic Harden vs Giannis matchup, the 2019 MVP race looking tough!

sivervipa · 2022-10-21T01:55:52+00:00

I mean…The Bucks just look like a really good team. Their chemistry is great.

Tokennn · 2022-10-21T01:53:26+00:00

Hardens midrange and in the paint shots were so damn good

The-Taco-Between-Us · 2022-10-21T01:55:56+00:00

There is no way the drop off between George Hill and Thanasis is this wide.

Armedinar · 2022-10-21T01:53:29+00:00

Explain to me again why they can't review who touched the ball last at such a crucial time ? That seems really dumb to me

GGezpzMuppy · 2022-10-21T01:53:28+00:00

Harden got to have deja Vu, coming in with a great start to the season, but has no help.

M_O_N_K_E_SENSEI · 2022-10-21T01:55:49+00:00

You guys should watch more bucks basketball they either be up by 15 or down by 30 and the game is still gonna be entertaining 💀💀

Goalnado · 2022-10-21T01:53:42+00:00

That has to be one of the worst halves of basketball in Embiid's career, although Harden looks fucking great

YoungNissan · 2022-10-21T01:55:08+00:00

Why can’t the refs change the call if it was obviously wrong? They know it’s wrong and it’s not a hard call to change.

Kizz3r · 2022-10-21T01:53:24+00:00

Worst ive seen embiid since he laid an egg against marc gasol

Turbo2x · 2022-10-21T01:54:04+00:00

Embiid looks awful so far

VeniceRapture · 2022-10-21T01:56:02+00:00

The cut by Grayson Allen into a wide open layup turned this game around. Can't give easy shots

Neuroxex · 2022-10-21T02:00:51+00:00

That was a fucking excellent game. That was the most fun I've ever had watching James Harden and he was scorching my team.

Jrue had a stinker offensively but that was some incredible perimeter defense in the last 6 minutes. Here he is glued to Harden through three consecutive screens and getting a tip to lead to a turnover.
Bucks were missing Khris Middleton and Pat Connaughton but the 76ers were missing Embiid so really hard to take much away from this.
Seriously Embiid, if you're going to call for nothing but post-ups do you want to do something with them more than a 16 foot fadeaway when you have 2022 Serge Ibaka on you?
Bucks said in pre-season they were focussing on limiting three point attempts from opponents, held the 76ers to 88 points and only 24 attempted threes. Budenholzer is feeling frisky.
I fucking loved watching James Harden in this game and I did not expect that. The mid-range opens things up so nicely, and the game was only close because of him.

ItsKBS · 2022-10-21T01:54:08+00:00

I feel bad for Harden honestly, what a fucking disaster performance by Joel

LMkingly · 2022-10-21T01:58:55+00:00

Man Jrue is such a frustrating player to watch on offense and then he locks players up and you remember why he's still on the court.

Balsamic_ducks · 2022-10-21T01:58:19+00:00

holy hell jrue was bad tonight. Luckily this is probably as bad as he'll play all season

YoungDetective · 2022-10-21T01:55:11+00:00

quiet game from Giannis and he still puts up 21/13/8 with 3 blocks, crazy

Weird_Narwhal_2192 · 2022-10-21T01:55:58+00:00

Giannis >>> Embiid

2022-10-21T01:54:04+00:00

Embiid looked 5 steps slow

zgamer200 · 2022-10-21T01:55:11+00:00

I'll admit that coming into this season I never would've believed you if you told me that Embiid would be the one letting down Harden against both the C's and the Bucks. PHI with a perfect opportunity to show they can beat arguably the 2 best teams in the East(albeit while both teams are missing major pieces in Robert Williams and Khris Middleton) and couldn't beat either.

corbpie · 2022-10-21T01:53:40+00:00

Ball don’t lie

siva115 · 2022-10-21T01:55:28+00:00

Tyrese Maxey looks like old greg

Kcidevolew · 2022-10-21T01:57:34+00:00

Giannis is terrifying

genius-baby · 2022-10-21T01:57:11+00:00

Hot take: Harden is Phillys best player and will get more MVP votes than Embiid this year

xbarracuda95 · 2022-10-21T02:03:49+00:00

Harden already forced to play 40 mins in the 2nd game of the season because of how bad everyone else is without him.

RandomBiped · 2022-10-21T01:54:03+00:00

Completely earnestly the Sixers look like one of the best 0-2 teams in a while

AliceBones · 2022-10-21T01:53:37+00:00

Me, before the fourth quarter: Y'know, Harden hasn't been so bad to watch lately, the new foul rules have made him rely more on his talent, he's still got it.

Me, after the fourth quarter: HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER

3luejays · 2022-10-21T01:55:14+00:00

76ers bench is atrocious

emandaheman211 · 2022-10-21T01:59:07+00:00

Brook Lopez gets a lot of hate but that tower of a man is a stalwart and ice cold.

TheRed_Knight · 2022-10-21T01:53:53+00:00

IDK whats going on with Embiid but he needs to get his shit together ASAP, his current level of effort and play is frankly inexcusable for a player of his calibre, and hes flat out cost the team both games so far this season

EQYour808 · 2022-10-21T01:53:48+00:00

Embiid baby what is you doing.

2022-10-21T01:55:57+00:00

Poor Harden, no matter where he goes, his help evaporates.

HyperPlasma · 2022-10-21T01:53:45+00:00

Refs are actually so useless, review the out of bounds ffs. Calls that late in the game should be looked over. Would’ve been bullshit if the Bucks lost that. The refs literally stood and did nothing during the timeout. So much for speeding up games when it wouldn’t have even mattered in that situation

FultzShoulder · 2022-10-21T01:55:14+00:00

I know it's only been 2 games but Harden > Embiid.

Herbetet · 2022-10-21T01:58:15+00:00

How is Harden the one carrying the team for two games straight clocking in 40mins. That’s how you gas out your veteran PG by January.

InternCautious · 2022-10-21T01:54:45+00:00

That was the perfect missed FT by Brook there lmao

BruiserweightYxB · 2022-10-21T01:59:31+00:00

Sixers need a good old closed doors meeting with boxer gloves all around and broken tables. Someone need to lit fire under Embiid so he can start playing grown up basketball and stop playing like a bitch. He finally has Healthy Harden with him and he doesn't want. Two games in a row where he was constantly locked down.

lilshawnyy420 · 2022-10-21T01:56:51+00:00

James Harden can't win with these cats

Turbulent_Log4663 · 2022-10-21T01:57:16+00:00

Damn that 4th quarter collapse was real, glad the Bucks pulled it off, they’re definitely missing Middleton big time, but happy to be celebrating a Bucks W.

KryptonicxJesus · 2022-10-21T01:55:36+00:00

Sixers are the fifth best team in the city right now

FEDORAS_4_SALE · 2022-10-21T01:56:44+00:00

Season fucking over already

camscars775 · 2022-10-21T02:06:31+00:00

Embiid legitimately looked like the worst player on the team this game. I groaned when he came back in the game. Bad defense, terrible offense, horrific body language, standing in the backcourt.. like wtf? Does this dude have pneumonia in both lungs or something?

Skitz8899 · 2022-10-21T01:55:10+00:00

"IM THE REAL MVP!!" GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!

Jordanwolf98 · 2022-10-21T01:57:06+00:00
