sixers vs bucks playoffs

More on the Sixers. Simmons can easily make the leap from 16 points per game to 20 or more if he sets his mind to it.Now to Embiid.

Playoffs will resume Saturday as NBA makes 3 major commitments Bucks League Champion: Los Angeles Lakers. 2001 Playoff Leaders: PTS: Allen Iverson (723) TRB: Dikembe Mutombo (316) AST: Allen Iverson (134) WS: Kobe Bryant (3.8) More playoffs info.

Kidd pleaded guilty to spousal abuse in 2001 and pleaded guilty to DWI for a 2012 incident in which he crashed his car into a pole.

Antetokounmpo imposes his will on every game he plays in, averaging 19.7 field goal attempts and 10 free throw attempts per game this season. To become a three-point threat late in games, Embiid needs to have his legs, and that means getting in better overall shape.

But to reach that level, Simmons and Embiid need to prove they’re willing to make the necessary adjustments to get better. If they don’t, Embiid would have to handle even more of the scoring load.“I think the thing nobody’s talking about with Simmons out (is) they have shooting at every other position,” said Celtics coach Brad Stevens. He’s ready to roll.”If Philly can get past Boston, it’ll reach the second round of the playoffs in three straight seasons for the first time since Larry Brown was the coach (1998-99 through 2000-01).© 2020 www.buckscountycouriertimes.com.

“He’s in the talks with the best guys in the league.

“All nine of their guys that play around Embiid can shoot the ball, so it makes it very difficult — you have to pick your poison at times. Jordan’s role, the players vs. owners dynamic and the shattering of norms in the NBA. Otherwise, you can’t give him the ball when the game is on the line. All rights reserved. As physically overpowering as Simmons can be, those numbers should be significantly higher. That’s why their offense is so good.”I still think Burks starting in place of Horford makes sense, especially against an undersized team like the Celtics, because of how Burks spaces the floor and can initiate the offense.The X-factor for Boston is Walker, who has been bothered by a nagging knee injury.

It could be Hayward because Tatum is a real handful — his scoring average improved from 15.7 points last year to 23.4 this season, when he was a first-time all-star selection — but Hayward can score, too.“They definitely have length, (but) I think we can use our speed,” said Walker on Saturday. He said Sunday that he's discussed starting Thybulle — presumably in place of Horford.“They’re really hard to guard,” Brown said Friday. He’ll see plenty of double-teams and needs to find open teammates when the extra attention arrives.To help Embiid — and increase the Sixers’ chances of winning — guys like Tobias Harris, Josh Richardson, Alec Burks, Shake Milton and perhaps Furkan Korkmaz are going to have to knock down perimeter shots. Regardless of what happens with the supporting cast, the Sixers won’t improve in any meaningful way if their pair of generational talents don’t live up to the label.For the first time since 2013, the Sixers are searching for a new head coach. Remember Walker’s 60-point outburst vs. the Sixers in November 2018 when he played for the Hornets?Stevens said Saturday that Walker is “fine. Given their talent level, his teams in Milwaukee should’ve accomplished more.

Simmons averaged a career-low 11.4 field goal attempts and added 5.2 free throw attempts per game. He has four-plus seasons of experience as an NBA head coach, has won a playoff series and is the Lakers’ lead assistant this season.There are many components of Kidd’s head coaching resume that don’t boost his candidacy.
