EC | Rd. 2| (1) Sixers vs (5) Hawks [1-1]

[TheNewEra]

Said it before trae is the next curry.. hawks in 6

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

Trae was arguing with the ref that he was trying to intentionally foul but the touch foul was weak

[Pacernation]

Why isn't simmons guarding Young? What's his worth on the court when he can't shoot and his defense doesn't really matter when guarding roleplayers waiting for open shots?

[Hardenstepback]

The way Trae young is going off, I can only imagine what Kyrie/Harden would do to this Sixers back court....

[MetalFingaz]

Trae has the 6ers completely out of sorts defensively.

[MasterIchiro]

I think by now Sixers realize this series is not going to be a cakewalk. They look a bit shellshocked but they're finally settling down.

[djsunyc]

you don't have to go hack a ben up 22 but it would be funny if they did.

[LastNameEver]

Bogdonavic is a better prospect than Halliburton and Hield. Kings are such a mess in the FO

He's 28. How's he a better prospect than a 21 yr old?

That was pretty stupid

[DaGawd]

Embiid looks shook like Randle

[QingJames]

Why isn't simmons guarding Young? What's his worth on the court when he can't shoot and his defense doesn't really matter when guarding roleplayers waiting for open shots?

He's not actually good at guarding small, quick guards. He can guard 2-4 but his ability to guard 1s is severely overstated. It's a joke that he's even in the top 3 DPOY voting this year.

Thank god the rockets didn’t trade for Simmons. Not a franchise cornerstone

[life_saver]

Hawks should never leave Seth wide open

[Arteezy]

Hawks are 20 up laying literally 8 vs 5.

This refs are straigh donaghing this game.

[chrismikayla]

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

Hunter is on his way if he stays healthy. He’s always been a good defender, but he’s grown tons offensively. He has a good midrange pull-up and 3 shot. But if Cam can make that leap offensively as well they’ll be scary like you mentioned

If that's the case Philly might be in trouble in this series. They gotta get Embiid on the line constantly.. I hate to see it but that will be the way I guess.

[r0drig0lac]

just like that by Trae Young!!!

[SFour]

Thank god the rockets didn’t trade for Simmons. Not a franchise cornerstone

he'd be a good trading piece tho...could net better assets in return than Oladipo or Levert

[Arteezy]

Is Huerter the worse player in the league? At least in the playoffs? Or Jeff Teague?

[levon]

Trae continues to foul when the Sixers are in the bonus

[Slick SickSir]

I want every one of u in this thread to watch ONLY simmons when sixers have the ball in half court setting. ONLY watch him

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

[djsunyc]

much needed little run by philly here.
