Wow Simmons is the worst player in the league what a liability.

Most will say something else but the real turning pt for Hawks this season was Reddish going down and Bogdanovic inserted into starting lineup.

Get Simmons in foul trouble should be the goal

Seth Curry has the worst facial hair in the NBA since Tatum's inexplicable bum fluff

Someone introduce that man to a razor

sixers already switch back to danny.

This Hawks team is too young to win this series imo. They don’t have a veteran leader/stabilizer out there (lol at anyone who mentions Lou Will). They’re good, but they’re really young and inexperienced, and it’s showing. They’re also too small inside. They lose this series in 6, or 5 if they lose this game.

Trae is going to foul Simmons out. Doc is grasping for straws.

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

Id give you Rubio and beasley for simmons.

sixers energy up - let's see if the young hawks can withstand it on the road. easy to forget that they are really a young inexperienced team.

14 TOs beginning of the 3rd is too much.

Hawks straight up getting outworked atm, that was an embarrassing sequence.

well we have a game?

Good adjustment by 76ers to put bigger players on Trae and pressure him with traps early. More hustle from 76ers now, too. Nice counter punch. Your move, Hawks!

Why can't they try Thybulle on Trae? Is he injured or something?

GSP · Post #477 » by **GSP** » Sun Jun 6, 2021 6:32 pm

Deandre Hunter out is a big loss for Atlanta. If hes not out for the series i dont think theyll win. Hes by far their best wing defender.

MasterIchiro · Post #478 » by **MasterIchiro** » Sun Jun 6, 2021 6:33 pm

Sixers waking up. Good basketball. Defense forcing the ball out of Trae's hands disrupting the offense and causing turnovers.

The team that dictates the pace always wins.

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.

Do you understand what pace is? It's how quickly a team utilizes its possession.

Posting up Embiid is exactly what they should be doing, and what they are NOT doing enough.

Atlanta would love nothing more than a run n' gun type of game.

We all know that NBA games are definitely not won in the first half

Who will win the series? (after game 2)
