Philly was never going to go anywhere because Ben Simmons is absolute fools gold. He can't be your 2nd best player, or 3rd best, really.

why not foul simmons on that drive - put him on the line so it gets into his head and potentially have the crowd turn on him.

I'm so angry that Simmons can't and won't shoot. Closest thing to Lebron in the open floor

He's better than Hali at 28....Hali is 21.

Solomon Hill taking 3s is a huge W for Sixers defense.

The Sixers are so dumb. The way to attack Atlanta is on the inside. Once capela is out. It’s over. They are barley trying to attack the paint. There is no one left after capela. All 6 foot 8/9 guys.

Just imagine how nasty this Hawks team will be if even one of Hunter or Reddish hit their full potential. Solomon Hill tries hard but those guys can help raise the ceiling tremendously

Hawks are more talented top to bottom without Embiid on the court. The higher pace without Embiid also favors the Hawks.

It’s annoying when they give him that call but they consistently do

it's a foul, but the way the NBA is calling it, it should be on the floor

Curry at least tries to play defense. Trae did you see the layup by Simmons. Didn’t even attempt to guard Simmons.

I think the Hawks want Embiid to put it on the floor and put pressure on that leg. Over the course of a series they want him to slow down

Im so sick every year of half the "sixer"fans telling everyone else how dumb we are for thinking simmons is hurting this team in the playoffs. Hes a **** role player and NOTHING more

Dpoy??? HE ISNT EVEN GUARDING TRAE LMFAOOO **** joke get him OFF this team

Joel Embiid love Spencer Dinwiddie...

Dinwiddie, Bruce Brown, TLC and #1 pick for Ben.

Who says no?

I've always said that a team with Ben Simmons as a cornerstone of the franchise will never be a championship team unless there are a minimum of 2 top 10 players carrying him....his inability to shoot is too much of a liability.
