You say that but he would have a Charles Oakley standing up for him instead of a marshmallow like John Collins.

Nice to see Gallinari still has a pulse after all

Hot take. John Collins is talented but he's a really low IQ player who is not as valuable as his talent level as a result.

Down to 8 despite numerous unforced errors and missed bunnies. This run should jolt the Hawks with some confidence. They need to settle.

Gallo balling. Glad the Hawks got back in it, I wanted a competitive game.

If Michael Adams could play in that era so could Young. It's about skill not size.

He's a puzzle, that's for sure. He's definitely not getting a max. That would get a GM fired. He looks like a third piece.

Here comes the Hawks. Sixers better have a big reply here or this is going to be a close game and they don't want that one.

Time to muck the game up for the Sixers and make Simmons shoot FTs. Simmons should have a FT% clause in his contract.

If Trae young was Kevin Durant's height he'd be better than Kevin Durant.

For the Sixers to take back control in this series, they need a blowout win tonight and it should be led by the bench players so they feel/play better going into the next two games in Atlanta. i think they will respond

This is going to be a long series... You have to give your scrubs the chance to show they can contribute because they'll need them in the latter games...

I'd say more like 4-5th piece.

All bench line ups with 0 spacing are not gonna do it against a team playing zone

And now in this quarter all of a sudden it’s a four-point game. Make that at two- point game. Philadelphia is in trouble
The Wizards shoukd have drafted Derik Queen
