Hawks can't miss and the Sixers have thrown the ball away three times. Gotta get it together.

You simply can not guard Trae with one player

Hawks did a great job of team building. They have guys that fit their roles perfectly… did a good job filling in the gaps with free agents too. Kudos to Schlenk

Danny Green might as well not even be there with the resistance he's offering Trae right now.
It's time for 5 refs.

These two teams are playing so methodical it's beautiful to watch. Not flashy and explosive like yesterday's game but disciplined basketball

Trae has been awesome...Simmons has had a poor start offensively

Consistent offence rules the nba. Defense is a thing you dabble in.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Why isn't Simmons defending Young. Is he saving his energy for his 14ppg?

49% of Trae's weight is his balls, 49% is his heart, 1% is his hair.

Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

7 turnovers already. Simmons with half of them and the hawks have almost 10 more shots taken than us and its not even the end of 1st quarter

Cant wait to trade simmons and get a REAL lead guard on this team. We are going no where fast with simmons

No one can ever spew the narrative that Trae isnt a winning player again. Even if Hawks ultimately lose

Btw, the Hawks are extremely well coached, especially on D. I had no idea. So organized.
