Why does Trae only have 13 shots?

Trae's shooting below league average on 3s. ~34%, regular season and playoffs.

People just pull for underdogs. I have nothing against the Sixers, but they're obviously the heavily favored team in the series.


Not really. A lot of people are picking the Hawks to win. The poll is split with Hawks winning in 6.

Yeah. Because people choose who they want to win. They are most definitely the underdog though. People chose the underdog.

Trae is clearly rattled. He looks a bit fatigued as well. Part of advancing deep like this is conditioning. It's mental and physical. He desperately will benefit from the lift from his home crowd. And did Collins smoke to much weed before this one? He looks so clueless for long stretches.

Do the Hawks continue to let Embiid go one on one?
