... like it isn't obvious that a Beal trade would signal a complete rebuild for Washington that would likely have Westbrook dealt to the highest bidder.


who is taking him tho - that's a huge deal.


It's an expiring contract, I could see plenty of teams willing to deal a bunch of bad deals and future considerations for a roll of the dice and to clear bad contracts at worst.

Feels like Trae's decision making is really starting to improve. 35 pts on 22 shots, 8-1 TO/asst is pretty damn salty.

Hawks are still a huge underdog. They need to finish this game one and steal a win here. That was a smart timeout by McMillan.

Atlanta just looks like they're in a different tier from Philly. Game 2 a legacy one for Embiid.

Embiid's defense has declined when compared to 2-3 years ago

Young gets Curry comps, but to me, he looks like a more aggressive Steve Nash. I might put some money on him for MVP next year if the odds are great

It's not been that bad in 6ers favor, bro. NBA has the worst officiating in pro sports, imo.
Good assessment:

The 16-0 run by the hawks really was the difference. Doc cannot play Howard Hill Thybulle Maxey lineup for extended time.

Why is Trae rolling the ball when his team is up 14 points with less than 4 minutes left in the game? lol
