Built Ford Tough Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Great start for Bogut on the offensive end. He is really establishing deep post position on Hawes and the Sixers aren't choosing to send a second defender when he gets that post position and Bogut has made them pay. 8 points on 4-5 shooting to start the game off. Leuer has been solid as well going 2-2 for 4 points. All 12 of the Bucks points have come from their big men, so the Sixers need to tighten up that interior defense. Kind of dissapointed that Turner isn't playing as he is one of my favourite Sixer players to watch, but they have plenty of exciting players so I guess I can deal with not being able to watch him for one game.

Built Ford Tough Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Sixers bench is just too good, even without a talent like Evan Turner. In basically ever game the Sixers bench will come in late 1st/ealy 2nd and completely blow open the game. In this one the Sixers were up by about 2-4 points for the majority of the time the two starting units were out there and then they bring in guys like Lou Williams and Thad Young (and usually Turner) and the game gets blown wide open as they overwhelm opposing teams 2nd units. By the time the midpoint of the 2nd quarter rolls around they always seem to have extended the lead to double digits and today was no exception as the lead was increased to 12.

Built Ford Tough Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Bucks with a huge 7-0 run to close the half and get the game to just 4 points after a Leuer 3 (first of his career) and a Jennings floater with 2 seconds left. What was an 11 point lead with about 2:30 left in the half got quickly cut to 4. The funny thing is that the Bucks didn't really execute all that well offensively and the Sixers played very good defense. They just hit some really tough, desperation shots.

Built Ford Tough Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Holiday completely shut Jennings down with some absolutely stifling defense. I think he stripped the ball from Jennings about 3 times today and had around 6 in total. When he is playing defense like this and Iguodala is doing his thing like he usually does, it makes for one absolutely ridiculous perimeter defensive duo. They were both pretty good offensively as well as Holiday had 24 and Iggy had 21. The ball movement from the Sixers is so much fun to watch. Actually, basically everything about this Sixers team is fun to watch. Bogut had a very strong game for the Bucks, but nobody else could really do much to help him and he simply doesn't have the ability to put a team on his back like what was needed of him today. Jackson really is useless out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Holiday completely shut Jennings down with some absolutely stifling defense IMO the best defensive PG in the NBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
