I think ibaka did really well actually in the first half. He met giannis at the rim like 3 times and either forced a kick out or a got a missed shot. He did really well defending giannis. It doesn't necessary have to be for gasol either. we could push kawhi up to the 2 pascal to the 3 and start ibaka at PF?
we all know Ibaka needs Lowry and cant create his shot off the bench. Green can be an outlet for fred that Ibaka and Powell simply arent9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

I dunno man Lopez could have a big series. We were playing that 3-2 Zone anytime giannis was on the court. It worked amazing defending him but left open the shooters from outside. Most of the bucks starters were bricking those shots. But lopez seemed to hit any type of shot he was taking. He loves those deep curry range shots which really stretches out the 3-2 zone.

Yeah for some reason it felt a lot more like he was 6/7 from deep

was surprised to see he went 4-11 from three which is ok but not game changing. It was all the inside shots that killed us.

I don't care what else Gasol brings (and I do appreciate the other things) but I need 10-15 points a night from him. Your 7 foot centre can always get you 10 and 5-10 rebounds since he doesn't challenge much at the 3 point line, right?

Terrible. Bricking shots, not catching the ball and gets passes under the rim and rather then going up strong, passes it out.
Way too passive on offense.
I still can't tell whether this trade actually helped us or set us back. He was good defensively against Philly however with JV maybe he'd have put Embiid in foul trouble as he actually attacks, we get more from offense, someone who sets good screens and can rebound. Would likely struggle more than Gasol defensively though this series with their shooting bigs. It's giving up offense for defense but the defense perks are lost a little when we give up offensive rebounds. That's all without the Wright factor who surely couldn't be any worse than Freddy has been this playoff series.

I feel we havent been the same since the JV injury and subsequent trade. For all of Gasols supposed IQ and passing ability, this has been negated by the fact that hes old and passed it. Hes bricking shots left right and center. We sorely miss JVs scoring efficiency, rebounding and toughness. I dont buy this whole, we would have lost to the 76ers angle, that can never actually be proven so it's not a valid argument IMO.
Also, Delon could have helped us out as well with FVV, Lin and Powell not performing. Masai takes a major L on this one for me.

JV played Embiid well this year. JV plays well against big bruising Centers. Embiid also wasn't 100%. We likely don't need 7 games to beat Philly with JV and Wright still on the team.
