2730435, It’s mostly the coach.

They have no offensive scheme, and are terrible at defending the 3. They do
a great job in the paint. Davis didn’t really get off. But they ignore guarding the 3 point line. It’s hideous.

No way should Giannis be the first option in crunch time. Middleton is a 90/40/50
guy. He is the most efficient player on the team, but he is being used as a ball handler
to set up Giannis? Makes zero sense.

Then you got Brook Lopez taking dumb 3 point shots. It’s ridiculous. He has zero paint moves. Bobby Portis should be starting with his ability to play inside and out. Lopez gives them nothing inside. And Divincenzo is too undersized to play the 2. If his shots
aren’t falling, he offers nothing.

Plus it doesn’t help that there isn’t any motion with the offense. That’s on the coach.
Honestly, they need to bring someone else in, because Giannis hasn’t fully developed.
He is still the same Giannis, with zero offensive skillset.

Where are the post moves? Where is the step back? Where is the fade away?
You’re not winning a championship with just a eurostep in the paint.

Him and Ben Simmons are so frustrating to watch at times. But the sixers got some
serious ballers in Milton, Embid, Harris, Maxey, so they don’t need Simmons for
offense. Simmons can just set them up.
