Collins has to be smarter.. Why are you reaching on that?

Shameless ripthrough by Embiid but I guess you have to punish a guy for being dumb enough to reach like that

After 3, the Hawks still shooting above 50%. The Sixers can play better defense than this and should do so in the 4th if they want to avoid the 0-2 hole....

The amount of bad calls going in favor of Embiid is ridiculous.

Where is the scoring going to come from for the Sixers at the start of the 4th if Embiid is sitting.

Have you seen the defense on Trae?

Have you seen all the open looks he’s getting Curry/Green?

I respect defending your countrymen, but his own offense is hurting them equally as badly on the other end.

Hawks are more collectively talented than the Sixers, especially on offense. They are also better coached.

But they are also very young, and as a result their collective IQ is REALLY low. They make mental blunders on offense and defense, while Philly just misses shots.

This series will be about if their IQ deficiency/youth can neutralize their talent edge. Its the only thing making this thing even so far.
