This is insane but Trae is better then I thought.

Jk = just kidding.

Trae is on the cusp of superstardom though. Hawks played tight vs. the Knicks and they really needed to play relaxed in this series. They're hitting their shots so this will be tough for the Sixers. If not for Embiid I think the Hawks crush the Sixers. So it's really important he stays healthy. Seems McMillan bought some rest time for Capela in the first half. Capela isn't shadowing Embiid but I expect him sufficiently rested to do just that second half.

I'm blind I guess. But I know that hot take is coming on ESPN all week lol

I will gladly take Ben Simmons on the clippers if we don’t have to give up Kawhi or PG

What piece puts Atlanta over the top?

This likely won’t happen but...what is the Hawks cap situation if it came to someone like...Kawhi Leonard? Just wondering

KAT is the only one i can think of that would be doable.

LOL at your post..who won the trade will be known maybe in about at least 5-10 years, not to mention which team will go deaper in the play offs is yet to be seen

p.s. I agree that as soon as 76ers trade Ben for a nice package including second star and some picks , the better
Otherwise window will close on Embiid..he is injury prone anyway,,,

Jk = just kidding. But I wouldn't be slitting my wrists over the deal if I were a Hawks fan. I'm sleeping a little better about it today. Good for both teams. And that's how trades should be. GM's invest to much time trying to screw the other guy. At least Ainge is done.

Why dont more comment on Embiid's foul-baiting?

Need to challenge Trae on defense. Make him work. Knicks had the same problem. Right now Embiid is the biggest defensive liability on the floor. Perfect execution from the Hawks. Doc Rivers getting outcoached again. Feels like the 76ers are seeing the Hawks for the first time. Without any knowledge of schemes/rotations/tendencies.

It starts with Karl-Anthony Towns, but they still will not beat Brooklyn.

I'm not sure if replacing Capela with KAT would be an upgrade.

Philly trying to trap Trae or have Simmons on him now

Alonzo_Morning · Post #458 » by **Alonzo_Morning** » Sun Jun 6, 2021 6:28 pm

Simmons on Trae now

Let's see how he goes

PrinceCliche · Post #459 » by **PrinceCliche** » Sun Jun 6, 2021 6:28 pm

So now Philly is putting Ben on Young, but the first play was a foul on Ben

The Hawks successfully hid him against Reggie Bullock against the Knicks and they are hiding him against Danny Green now, yet neither team makes him fight through screens, switch, or defend. You have to make him play both ends of the floor.

With whom would you attack him though?

It's an easy thing to say, but Curry and Green aren't capable of it. Simmons? I imagine the Hawks have gameplanned to make sure he won't be able to isolate young in the post.

Harris or Simmons would both be capable. They should at least try it.

Who will win the series? (after game 2)
