Doc was lulling him into a false sense of security

Depressing watching the 76ers lock up Young after our number 1 ranked defense spearheaded by the alleged coach of the year let him torch scrub Reggie Bullock possession after possession

That Simmons block on Trae was great. I need to see like 3 more of those

I'd play hack-a-Simmons if I was McMillan.

Dude wtf is with the refs and Embiid and these bogus foul calls lmao, it's like he has some dirt on all of the refs in the league

i agree - embarrass him and force doc to take him out and disrupt their whole offense. i don't know if they have enough active players for all those fouls.

Embiid seems to be favoring his leg more tonight than game 1 TBH.

Atlanta also needs to put Embiid in more challenging situations on defense and make him prove he can stay on the court with that meniscus injury.

this is good for trae. he didn't experience this type of defense vs the knicks. now we get to see how he responds - it may not be this series but maybe next year.

When a crowd chants ref you suck I wanna see the ref do a Hulk Hogan Can't Hear You

When guys talk about stars being able to play in different eras I don't think Trae is on that list. Not because of his skill level, but that some one would have put him in the hospital for his flops and foul baiting. I am not even sure if he becomes the player he is today if he gets mugged in the 80s

Inexperience really showing. Hawks are really gonna need a lift from their home crowd. If they lose one at home they lose the series.

He is playing that way because of the rules, I think he would be fine in another era, he is skilled enough. He definitely takes advantage of the way a game is called today though

In the 80s and the 90s, the players would put him on his ass if he kept doing all those flopping. lol

Atlanta missed a lot of good looks that quarter.

Started the game off with two missed layups. Just fed into the Sixers lead.

They may play Philly even the rest of the way but its already too much catch up.

Hawks have to win this quarter, not by much, just win it for psychological reasons.

Who will win the series? (after game 2)
