    As Trae Young was giving that post game interview on the court, I'm thinking to myself, TRAE, YOU ARE NOT SAFE THERE. Philly fans are big mad tonight.

    Can't win with non-shooters like Giannis and Ben Simmons

    I'm sure those win% numbers are factually accurate, but I really hate them. Such a useless stat.

    Especially when they are non-shooters AND non-free-throw shooters.

    Trae loves this ****. He was in more danger in New York when he did it to the Knicks, lol.

    Actually kind of feel bad for Sixers fans. They've been through a lot over the last decade.

    That said, still want the Hawks to win.

    If Doc loses this series, will Morey fire him?

    Simmons is a glorified Shaun Livingston.

    Doc Rivers strikes again. For how good Embiid is, he definitely has some Harden-like mental lapses.

    Trae is the ****ing man.

    But Shaun Livingston was clutch and won championships with the Warriors.

    Maybe Simmons is an unglorified Shaun Livingston.

    We dodged such a massive bullet not trading Harden for Simmons.

    At least Livingston had an effective mid-range game, and could shoot over any PGs or even SGs defending him. Forget the paint, outside the basket semi-circle, Simmons is a complete liability.

    Embiid gets fatigued, which is especially problematic combined w Simmons freethrow problems and of course the role players not showing up besides Curry.

    Funny watching Capela versus Howard....

    Question: Are the Hawks for real??? I mean are they just beating philly.....not just Philly losing?

    man i saw this thread at the top and thought "did atlanta come back and win?" and then finished watching the game and wow, what a collapse. to be fair, atlanta started the quarter like 12/13 on some crazy shots but philly got blanked for like the last 3 minutes. just unbelievable.

    calling it now, morey fires doc and brings in mike. give mike the league's best defense and let him figure out the offense.
