76ers & Embiid implode to 2-11 | Lillard bails out Bucks

But from a Houston standpoint, they want to get the best shots they can, especially for a team that doesn't shoot well from three at all. And we saw, it might've been tired leg. This was the sixth game in nine and nine days. So that could be that. It was just one of those things.

I think it's a bit of both. I think it's something where you, and if we're being honest, you know, this is in Illinois, you know, Fred VanVleet had an event for, for kids bringing out. He, we saw what he did last night in Chicago. You know, he wants to take it to them, you know, because he's from Rockford. Rockford is halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee.

You know, he has, I think official 26 tonight. It's a number of things. And then you're playing in Milwaukee where it's like at any given point, Giannis can go super turbo nuclear. So it's like you're trying to figure out on the fly in real time in a tough environment. It's a very hard place to play in Milwaukee in physical form. And the game is just drawing out.

And you could tell very early on that if you weren't going to play through Alperin, and they did it for a little bit, and then they went away from it. The problem with Houston offensively is that They have so many options. It's like a jack of all trades and a master of none.

Like you can play through so many different options, but at some point you're going to have to find some consistency, especially in the fourth quarter late in the game. When it's winning time, you're going to have to find a system to go through.

I think the bread and butter should be the two-man game between Alperin and Jalen, but everything should start with Alperin. in terms of getting him on the low block, getting him in the mid post and allowing him to dictate depending on what the defense is giving to him.

Now, on games like this where he kind of starts out slow, you have to go through your plan B and C. Plan B is, let's see what Fred has tonight. Can he get it going? Because he's a guy that wants to defer off the rip. So can he turn it up or not to get it going? And plan C is seeing if Jalen can find a rhythm because he's a rhythm guy.

We saw in the fourth quarter where he hits, I think, like five in a row and then kind of teeters off. It's just a give and take. They have too many options. And I think that lack of a true identity is what's going to be the most detrimental thing to come down the road because they have a defensive identity. They're going to swarm. They're going to be aggressive. They're going to be physical.
