The worst part is when they actually cut and use that angle on a breakaway dunk. It makes it look worse, no perspective, just straight garbage. I blame Adam Silver.

Trae young looked so weak when he tried to push Ben

At least we know the 6ers would’ve smacked us. Julius saved us from all that.

Simmons on Randle, with Thybulle on RJ and Embiid guarding Nerlens/Taj who are always near the rim. We may not have cracked 85ppg against them.

I hate that foul so much.

Wonder who is signing Collins this off-season...doubt Atls offer will appeal to Collins..for the record 0 interest in him

Atlanta the biggest crybabies in the league next to BK

knicks got dumpstered by the hawks who got dumpstered by the sixers.

that's how far off course this team is.

That's why you put him on Kyrie or Harden.

You really think Simmons is going to lock up either of them?

and if you do put him on either of them that means the other two are cooking - unless you think thybulle or their 3rd best defender is stopping Kyrie/Harden. Which is a lie I'm not buying into.

You use their length to bother Harden and Kyrie on the outside and block their passing vision. Force them to drive into Embiid. Durant feasts.

You're not stopping that offense but that's how I would try to slow it. Force Durant into a playmaking role and wear him down.

What would you do?

Trae getting a tech

Embiid can look so agile at times and so lumbering at times...

Trae b*tching about foul calls is classic :lol:

It never fails to amuse me. I still can’t believe Nate had the cojones to say what he said before the series even began against us.

Nets likely to win, and KD is a legend, but I don't think the pairing of him and Kyrie is as crazy good as they've looked in the beginning of these playoffs.

the only team I see giving them a problem is utah and at that point I don't care who wins.

I have no faith in Ben Simmons/Tobias in the ECF against the Nets even if Harden is still out. Simmons can't shoot and Tobias is inconsistent.

The team that's best equipped to beat them is Milwaukee but they need to play Giannis at the 5 and force Blake to defend the pick-and-roll with Giannis. You take your biggest strength and you use it against their biggest weakness.

Same play as RJ’s foul on Trae.

Did they give a bunch of Mormons tickets to this game? Does Atlanta even have Mormon community? I saw someone with a bowl haircut.

Capela with Embiid on him
