Imagine Trae playing vs the Bad Boy Pistons :lol:

They would just take him out of the game, he wouldn't make it out healthy

Brilliant defence by Simmons, that should have been a charge and no score by Trae. Appalling missed call by ref

I thought I was watching the playoff, feel like a regular season game with all this touch foul...

I don’t think I’ve seen Trae provide a lick of defence tonight, outside of scoring he is doing zero on the defensive end

If Trae is going to bait the refs on obvious non fouls you might as well make it a foul and feed him an elbow or 2 to give him a reason to actually throw his head back

At least Simmons was moving when he hit Trae. Hill was stopped with his arms vertical when Embiid jumped backwards into him.

"Craftiness"

HAHAHHAHHA

Foul baiting awful NBA rules isn't crafty

I bet Young wont try this in the olympics where they won't give him that BS call

Can't wait for the nba to fix this BS

It should even be considered an offensive foul


I agree that the offensive foul baiting shouldn't be allowed, but as long as it is you have to admit there's some craft in the guys who are really good at it, like Trae and Harden.

He has 1 foul :lol: :lol:


Thought he just picked up his 2nd courtesy of Trae? Maybe the one I thought was on him earlier was actually on Thybulle, if so - my mistake!

Is it harder to stay on topic when you're typing through the tears?
Tears? Jaylen Brown injured, kemba wants to get the fawk out and you guys actually hired Brad Stevens to run the org. Not sure why you think I'm in tears. If I were you, I wouldn't be able to get out of bed. How does it feel knowing Danny Ainge wasted the treasure chest?

Look at you go, ranting on and on about the Celtics in a Sixers-Hawks playoff series. Guess I touched a nerve!

I can get on the court and flop and foul bait easily since I way so much less than these guys

Having to play Soloman Hill instead of Deandre Hunter has been significant. I really hope he can stay healthy next year because ATL will be scary.

He doesn’t even try

Sixers need to find a way to go at him constantly

When he hit Trae? I'm going to assume you're actually legally blind and being told that from someone watching the game with bias. He literally jumped backwards into Ben who wasn't even touching him and trying to fight off a screen.

Even if he had 2, how are you in a foul out rate by having 2 fouls at the half? :lol: :lol:
