What's the rule on that? I thought because Capella was ahead of Collins it wasn't because that's what the discussion tends to be.

Woulda had to be a 76er in front of Collins.

There was no defender between the ball and the hoop. Embiid dove from behind to get him.

They've been letting Philly get away with some fouls on the inbounds. I hope Philly fans don't keep complaining about refereeing.

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.

This game has been fun, especially down the stretch!

I think the 4th quarter when ATL shot more their averages showed what this series will more look like.

I don't get the need to review that then.

Inexperience.

I'm certain that McMillan is going to dedicate the entire next practice to inbound passing and the last 2 minute drill.

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

And even when it's clear, they still check it for other things like the clock/shot clock.

He better! He's never been to a conference final as a HC. Now he's the interim coach and 3 games away. Pacers couldn't even get outta the play-in.

First and foremost I think the 76ers shouldn't play 11 guys in game 2 lol

Secondly I think there was some good stuff in the final 5 minutes of the game that the 76ers can build on.

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.

I feel like he's had better team than this too and failed to get there. While he likes a slower tempo game (like the Sixers), I think you saw what happens when it speeds up, which McMillan has struggled with coaching wise.

Doc Rivers assessing Trae Young's big first half: "It was our coverages as much as it was Danny."

Called it:

Rivers hinting at some issues with the officials discussing Simmons taking the Young assignment: "He picked up two fouls for playing defense, and that was frustrating to see."

Rivers was also shocked their challenge in the third quarter was not successful

Simmons calling it out too:

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
