What does this mean? Like, what do you mean by this? Doc giving him the green light to just take over? If that's what you meant by "whistle" then yeah...That's what it might take. Especially if Embiid can't go.

Oh....I was totally off. What I thought was that you were implying that both Trae and Jimmy have the go ahead from their respective coaches to just take over the game. I was confused there for a second. Like "Yeah yo, they got that whistle bruh." Must've been how you worded it?

Atlanta firmly believes they can run with Boston now. That's dangerous for Boston

They just need to beat the F-c-ing Celtics. I don't care what mentality they use. Mamba, Jimmy, Karl Malone, Wayman Tisdale, just win.

No, it's my bad... I'm a jerk. Seriously though, you see the way Trae and Butler have taken over in games. We're going to need either Harden or Maxey to do the same I think. I think Embiid gets phased out if he even plays.

This Hawks-Celtics series is reminding me a lot of our series with them 2 years ago.
2025-2026 Philadelphia 76ers:

Maxey/McCain/Lowry
Edgecombe/Grimes/Gordon
George/Oubre/Edwards
Watford/Barlow/Walker
Embiid/Drummond/Bona/Broome

I feel like Pompey is the only one feeding doomer info on Embiid this week. Shake made it sound like Embiid will be ready.

Hawks’ bad habits will cost them this game

I’d trap Jaylen Brown in the fourth and force him to kick it out. Celts plays too much by the book.

Hawks has to show more energy grabbing boards and rotating on defense, they’re playing like they have 20pt lead because trae is shooting so well.

I hope we’re learning something about defending this Boston team. Can’t let them get hot and need to pull in all the rebounds. No stupid turnovers or second chance points.
