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.


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


That's stretching it. 5th piece is more like Kyle Kuzma quality.

Twice Simmon is around the basket and he passes. Is his offensive skillset so damn limited that he only passes and attacks the rim with an open lane?

Collins can always get the Max potentially... The Knicks have money. Thibs might have a heart attack but that isn't saying Dolan wouldn't do it.

This Hawks team man. Lot of grit to go with that skill.

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...
Meh I don't know, I can really see the Hawks winning this between 4-5 games.

It was too early for them to just roll over and die. Philly couldn't keep up that intensity for 48. Philly will push hard again though.

Embiid bullied the hell out of Capela....then stared him down.

Sixers are fine. Bench should play better the next time they get in or Doc won't play them long in the 2ndhalf. Continue feeding Embiid and get 4 fouls each from those bigs and this is over.

What does that supposed to mean?

If CP3 was Yao's height he would be the GOAT, by a wide margin.

What i will say though is that this Hawks team indeed looks like a complete team. The consistency from 1-10 (or 8) is amazing.
