nba playoffs aka the 'offs (which includes the 'ins) 2021

yeah thats another way he doesnt fit with embiid

embiid looks fine physically but he’s gone into the [hubie voice] painted area like 2 times all half. seems pretty content to shoot jumpers

sixers should consider guarding trae

a foul in the backcourt in transition should be 2 shots + the ball, easy fix

Embiid definitely looks a bit limited on defense to me

he doesnt look like hes moving bad but he does look like hes trying to not move too much

a foul in the backcourt in transition should be 2 shots + the ball, easy fix

Embiid definitely looks a bit limited on defense to me

we call that the brook lopez

Simmons needs to prove he is a DPOY candidate by locking Young up for the 2nd half. Otherwise I don't want to hear about it anymore.

wld like to see it lets do this

brutal halftime medley of embiid backing up on the pick n roll until hes out of the play

the degree to which simmons has a size, athleticism, speed advantage over any player on the hawks is comical. would be a great series for him to, um, assert himself offensively

Those fouls on Simmons were weak.

bogdan shoots threes like he’s playing pop a shot

Simmons foul shooting is depressing. Like he needs another hole in his offensive game.

huerter needs to be playing sooooo many more minutes than solomon hill

probably would if he was available

you’re thinking of hunter

Hawks can't shoot like this the entire series, can they?

oh yeah

They let that stand, Doc might as well guard Young, it won't make a diff.

awful challenge by doc

thybulle was riding trae all the way down the court, you can’t be leaning and pushing on a guy from the half court line all the way into the paint

Hawks def need Hunter back

Crying a little watching that Gallo dunk. We’ve been through so much together and seeing that beautiful white gazelle throw down...

should’ve been an and 1 too

thybulle giving trae some problems. trae was gonna come down to earth in the second half to some degree so hard to say how much of it is bcuz of thybulle but seems obvious he’s their best option on trae aside from simmons. he’s done his part of offense too but will he take/make shots in crunch time

ben simmons impact on this game has been very minimal

wild shit here

dying @ the refs just being like “we’re good” in the final minute of this game

playoff basketball baby

this game reminds me a lot of heat-bucks game 1 in that it would’ve been a backbreaker for the hawks to lose at the end outplaying the higher seed this badly on their home court

Lol @ Hubie suggesting Simmons missed intentionally.

good news for the sixers is that the hawks played an A++ first half, were +30 from three overall and still only one by 6. they can prob feel pretty good about how the game is gonna go when they crank the defensive intensity up to 100 but need to figure out how to defend trae with their starters out there. the hawks have a lot of shooting out there tho and were moving the ball well. simmons should be far more dominant tho on both ends

won*

sixers shd think about giving most of danny greens minutes to thybulle

that huerter dude is annoying as hell; of course he went to maryland

Huerter was NICE in this game aside from the inbounds snafu

Atlanta has a lot of good players.

You got something against gingers

Atlanta has a lot of good players.

Glad Luke Kennard, one of the league’s elite talents, is getting another chance to fulfill that potential here

There’s just not much talent on the Mavericks. It’s a one man show.

i haven’t loved jalen brunson’s weird absence from this series

big boban minutes

James Harden has been diagnosed with what the team is calling "right hamstring tightness." He is out for game 2 against the Bucks.

you shouldnt be able to yell at the ball, its disrespectful

I don’t get a lot of both of these coaches decisions. Clips defensive scheme vs Luka makes no sense.

Also forgot the Mavs have jj redick til they just showed him on the bench. Is he hurt or washed?

lot of points in this game

rare for a game seven
