Yeah I agree I just think people under estimated the Hawks and assumes the 6ers we’re gonna roll through them with a healthy Embid. But Trae is the real deal and his team finally healthy. Add the fact that the Hawks match up well against the 6ers it’s to going to be a tough series for them.

Why do the Sixers give Green so much run? He's been inconsistent for years and there are better players on the bench.

Because he's better offensively than Thybulle and better defensively than Hill.


Did Trae Young just jump straight sideways and take two sets to get contact with Thybulle? lol.

I think the key is keeping Trey out of open space. If he driving in space he’s going pick you apart with the pass and with floaters. Even if it means making him more of a scorer Philly has to limit his creation. Make him shoot

cause he is a pretty good 3 and D player? he shouldn't be covering trae though thats pretty stupid, but thats one of the weaknesses of having Curry starting.

I'm honestly not sure TBH what to do, especially if he decides to go foul hunting. They do move the ball well when we try to double. I think the game plan for the defense does need to involve attacking Young and Capella on the offensive side. Make them work more and possibly get them into foul trouble.

LOL how was that a foul? Because he hit the floor?

LOL, lip reading, Simmons called Bogdanovich a *****. lol

Tisse has got to start much more.

Embiid -> Simmons oop. Nice.

I hate that so much. small players making size a disadvantage. Also, the 76ers have to just stop giving up these wide open corner 3's.

Cappella’s finishing threat makes the shooters more dangerous and opens up the floater on PnR. Getting him off the floor is definitely a good way to indirectly effect Trey. Of course making Trey play D is a good idea too. I would not rule out hack a Cappella
