They've been letting Philly get away with some fouls on the inbounds. I hope Philly fans don't keep complaining about refereeing.
Hawks tried their best to give away that game lol

probably that he was ahead of embiid. wow the hawks can't handle full court pressure like at all. this is kinda embarrassing for them.Quote:

All clear path fouls are reviewed. Have to make sure the player actually had possession of the ball.Quote:

Definitely. I think something they learned big time is who to attack and who to do it with. Doubling Young with Simmons then pulling Harris while dropping Green really got Young pissy, which I'll take. Huerter wants nothing to do with the ball other than shooting so I'd attack him. And like I said, I think seeking out Young and Capella and getting them in foul trouble is about the best defense we can run at the start of a game.Quote:

Rivers was also shocked their challenge in the third quarter was not successful
Quote:
Simmons on whether he thinks the matchups will get switched so he can check Young next game: "I probably will do that, I want to do that."
Says some of it depends on whether the refs actually allow him to be physical and play defense
I was gonna say, may need to push the pace a bit in game 2, just to see. Because it helped down the stretch.Quote:

Ben Simmons, whether he expects the defensive assignments to change for Game 2, where he would defend Trae Young more: "I probably would do that. I mean, I want to. If the refs aren't gonna call so many fouls and I can be physical and be 6'10", then I'll be 6'10". But we'll see."
Simmons wasn't beating players to the spot. He was reaching and blocking with his body. They let him get away with more of it down the stretch, but he could have easily fouled out.Quote:

I actually expect the 2 minute report to show more fouls should have been called.
What absolute disaster dealing with the press in the final 3 mins. Is that just a total choke or something you can go back to? It does take the ball out of Young’s hands

It's both. I think McMillan was waiting for Doc to pack it in and put in bench, and when he didn't, Nate's players weren't ready for the pressure, and with no timeouts late he couldn't talk them through it. I think we'll see it at times but not as a full time thing. I'm willing to bet we see Simmons and Thybulle ride him full court though at times. Those to create at least 3-4 4 point swings a game by doing that.Quote:

The 76ers defense looks lost at times. I credit Atlanta for their scheme. The Hawks deserve the victory.
Doc needs to make adjustments for Game 2 and Hopefully the 76ers will be better.
Marcus Hayes tried on twitter but did it horribly, and my call out of him got me blocked so :shrug:Quote:

Silly that he blocked you but Ben is at the beginning of a 5 year deal starting at 30 million. He is going to feel more Heat then Danny Green. I’m honestly surprised Ben hasn’t taken more Heat. With Bron out and facing a tougher opponent I could see this story getting big if Simmons doesn’t get better.Quote:

He's taking plenty of heat in the Philly area. The stupid thing to me is that the people who in the media bring the heat on him for it also ignore that despite the shooting inability he still contributed the second most points created to Embiid and played at a DPOY level. And I think that's what got Doc heated, was having to continually answer those shooting questions and no one talks about the good in his game.Quote:

In all honesty, I would put Green on the bench, as he did better on Huerter. Start Thybulle. Yes you lose some spacing, but Thybulle was a monster on Young and really getting under Young's skin. And then on the other end, Thybulle actually moves a ton; so this forces Young to have to exert energy on that side of the court.
I think our biggest problem was we didn't make Young work enough on defense. Green just stood in the corner, and Trae literally just stood there refreshing himself. Then when they doubled Embiid, Young just split coverage, sat there when the ball rotated, and let the drive go knowing the rotation help was coming. Now that's good coaching by McMillan to make it easy on Young by doing that, but movement off ball will change that so fast.
Agreed! C'mon Doc, gotta adjust fast.Quote:

I think his in game adjustments were slow by hopefully game to game he is better. I mean he is a vet coach so he should be able to take this series 4-1, in theory.Quote:

Wow that’s awesome. I’m rooting for the Hawks this series but will switch to your boys if they advance. I really think Joel will have a Dirk like run to the title at some point if he doesn’t wind up on a super teamQuote:
