Suddenly Julius looks better. I’m back baby.

Seth Curry can’t go in at all. His layups are terrible.

yo i literally was thinking the same thing earlier ironically lol. Hawks remind me of that 2014 warriors team coming up.

Travis Schlenk did come from the Warriors with the same blueprint in hand.

Warriors East

Thibs could have put Frank on Trae from g1 but Thibs gonna Thibs

Yes I know, Frank isnt the ultimate pg stoppah and he makes mistakes but he is the best defender we have on the guard position.

Thibs is a 2x coach of the year one of only 10 coaches in NBA history to win the award multiple times that means he is a top 10 coach in NBA history, so we just have to take his word for it when he says that Frank was too bad to be in the rotation in any capacity

I saw Frank guard Trae during the season and it was not good. Trae had a first step that always eluded Frank. Frank is a good defender but he's not fast enough to kwwp up with Trae when he starts his drive. The one play he defended Trae, he was faked out by a right-left-right dribble, but then again, Frank didn't have a chance to defend Trae earlier, so I can't really hold that one against him.

Which one, just out of curiosity?

I think the fit between Simmons and Embiid is the core of the issue.

They're a remarkable duo defensively but the Sixers should've traded Simmons years ago.

The Harden non-trade was a debacle for Philly.

I think this is the end for Ben. No more Philly for you.

ENYK · Post #1813 » by **ENYK** » Wed Jun 9, 2021 1:01 am

The fact that ATL is doing so well against this defensive-minded Philly 1 seed doesn't bode well for a Thibs-led team... Too old school, I don't think he's capable of catching up with how the game is played now.

stuporman · Post #1814 » by **stuporman** » Wed Jun 9, 2021 1:01 am

Again and again it is shown that a ball handling facilitator who can't shoot jumpers is a liability and a player like this limits the ceiling of the team in the playoffs.

I mean, Embiid is really really good.

What style? The one where a lead guard can't shoot from more than 3 feet from the basket. Everything the Sixers do on offense is handicapped by Simmons.

Ohhh so that’s why Thibs couldn’t figure them out.

We need to continue BAF. I need to have Embiid at some point.
