What piece puts Atlanta over the top?

ATL screwed up by capping themselves up for the foreseeable future. They're kinda locked in where they're at.

But if they make it to the ECF with a young and improving team -- then their not locked in a bad spot.

They will still have the 1st round picks, mid level and minimum contracts to improve.

Sounds like a very nice space to be.

How can you be such **** at shooting the damn ball like Ben Simmons.. Holy ****, girls from my HS could make at least 4/10 FT's without any shooting technique. My godness you don't even have to be skilled to make FT's it pure mechanics.

screwed up? that's a pretty bad take. they may make the ecf's with a bunch of player's who's values have increased over the year. getting everything you need for a chip requires alot of luck.

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.

Do u not understand that simmons camps in the paint and makes doubling embiid instantly super easy?

This is why we cant win in the playoffs. Bens putridness and pussyness makes embiid and harris less effective

And when he actually does get a bit aggressive he then misses fts

Hes a complete dead weight on this team

What has he done on defense to help slow the hawks(spoiler) NOTHING

Just like against toronto 2 years ago... kawhi still did whatever he wanted

Get simmons off this team and go get a real guard

Hawks a tough matchup for the Sixers since Capella can neutralize Embiid.

They lost big on that Gallinari deal. He's useless. But the Bogdon deal makes up for it. Hawks team is younger than that Heat team that made the Finals. I think Hawks will stick around and are legit second tier challenging top tier teams consistently. They've done very well and are not finished whatsoever. Hate the Gallo deal though.

Unsustainable numbers for the Hawks

bruh - hawks are demoralizing this sixers team. tobias a complete non factor.

WD · Post #513 » by WD » Sun Jun 6, 2021 6:43 pm

If the @ATLHawks steals game 1, @sixers might be in trouble. I haven’t had 3 consecutive hours of sleep since the playoffs/play inns started.

see just like, ATL by 25

NBA is guards game. I really think its much harder to win when your big is your number 1. Joes is great but Trae can just impact the game so much easier with the rules. Having an elite scoring 1-3 player trumps everything else IMO. Now if this was the 90's/80's big guys could reign supreme.

Embiid defensively is basically Whiteside with better press.

what a hole in the pick and roll

PrinceCliche · Post #518 » by **PrinceCliche** » Sun Jun 6, 2021 6:45 pm

Philly will not win this game, I think everyone can see that.

And in order for Philly to win this series they need a complete reboot of their game plan = better coaching.

djsunyc · Post #519 » by **djsunyc** » Sun Jun 6, 2021 6:45 pm

so seeing how the playoffs went for the hawks - do they now commit to collins or do they move him in a s&t?

Lol, that's just not true. You keep saying this. A young team with all their 1sts in the 2nd round. Gallo's last year is only guaranteed for $5 mil. The contracts for Capela and Bogi at $18 mil are value contracts for the next 2 years.

Who will win the series? (after game 2)
