The pace is all wrong for the Sixers. If Doc can't figure this out they are losing this series.

The team that dictates the pace always wins.

It might not be a good enough offer if Simmons continues to play like this. Would you rather have RJ and all the Knicks picks or Simmons and the 76ers picks?

Am I the only one who thinks that Hawks should have intentionally fouled Simmons to close out half? Sixers were starting to get in offensive rhythm and Hawks weren't able to get stops. Fouling Simmons would have disrupted Sixers' offensive flow, while conceding less points. Obviously, the main concern is piling up fouls on individual players, but I think Hawks could have done it.

76er Fans:

Joel Embiid loves Spencer Dinwiddie...

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

Who says no?

Hawks are in the second round and looking like a threat to advance. Unless Luka wins today’s he’s done more so far in his situation

If I am the 76ers I'd rather have Beal.

Hawks went on a 16-0 run essentially when Sixers bench came in late in the first quarter to the second quarter.

That’s basically the difference in the game.

Doc rivers didn’t know how to stop the bleeding so kept playing the second unit

Plus all the turnovers by Sixers (12) in first quarter. But hawks turned the ball over a lot second quarter.

they have no pg - they cant legit run anything other than post up embiid and work all plays off that. and in this instance, embiid isn't jokic to take over pg duties. they really needed lowry b/c danny ain't giving them anything this series.

I believed in the Hawks before the season even started. Remember that! They are headed to the ECF soon!

Im at the point I think just getting simmons off the team with 0 return would benefit us more than keeping him because then atleast maxey would start

I want ben gone so badly. Almost as much as I want a championship

If any of u come away after 5 min with anything other than him being HORRENDOUS at bball and a massive dead weight on this team esp embiid and harris who do their damage inside then u have no **** clue how bball works

Dude people have been saying this since the day he was drafted. At this point you cant change any opinions. Minds are set and people are dying on that Simmons hill. Sad to waste Embiids healthy years but it is what it is.

Trae has arrived. Doncic about to get bounced first round. Trade about to advance to ECF with a younger supporting cast. Hawks won the trade.

Jk

Sixers still got the series, never underrate the heart of a loser like McMillan.

westbrook and ben on the court at the same time? please make that happen just for the memes.

Great half by the Hawks to keep things by 20 even with Philly making a run

MrGrim · Post #418 » by **MrGrim** » Sun Jun 6, 2021 6:17 pm

At least try Thybulle on Young instead of Green.

MasterIchiro · Post #419 » by **MasterIchiro** » Sun Jun 6, 2021 6:17 pm

Simmons is elite playmaker version of Wiggins. Warriors space the floor well enough to make that swap using draft capital. Sixers fans don't want to hear that. Tough ****.
