So far, sounds a lot like the NYK mourners... "How can they not contain Trae Young?!?"

And.

"I still say Sixers in 6."

And.

"These guys won't shoot like that again."

Embid played 39 minutes scores 39 and 6ers still lose and their fans are still confident

So to summarize.... Ben says he wants to come out fouling Trae more and see if the refs will allow it in Game 2. 

Trae needs to put him in foul trouble early on Tuesday.

The best players get better when it matters most. Trae entering superstar status. Oh it feels so good to see the haters take it. Did you see that Bomani tweet? When the Sixers were coming back, he couldn’t wait to call out Atlanta. Looks like he is going to have to wait a little while longer.

That strategy worked for John Thompson's teams at Georgetown and feel the refs are content to let it unfold that way as exampled by yesterday's game. That would be ugly so am hoping the fact that folks are reporting on it already may keep it a bit cleaner. But when it comes to refs and the Hawks....hope for the best and truly expect the worst.

A victory lap on your Trae Young take?

Go on a 3 year apology tour first and then pat yourself on the back for saying he would be good in the 2021 playoffs, Mr. Simmons.  Do you remember all the garbage you've spouted on Trae?

"I hate what Atlanta did. I hate it more passionately than anything I've hated any NBA team has done the last two years. I think that trade is going to be historically bad." - Bill Simmons

Quote

"Trae Young is the guy you're playing pick up with, its a game to 11 you're down 9-2 and then he makes 4 threes in a row and brings you back. You still lose and then he [Trae] feels great and everyone's like eh I'll sit out next game."

Etc.

Own the fact that you spent 3 years underrating this kid and are just now coming around, Bill.  

Victory lap....

Haha, "figured them out"?  The only thing that got "figured out" was that the Hawks can't be going into prevent offense too early.

As long as they allow the Hawks to do the same with Embiid - we good.

"According to the Twitter account @NBARefStats, Foster and Brothers rank second and fourth, respectively, for most personal fouls called per 48 minutes. 

Foster and Brothers are the two most-tenured officials in the NBA, so I guess that’s something, right? But have you ever heard of an NBA referee getting fired for being bad at their job? I can’t remember any.

One more alarming stat: in playoff games officiated by Foster, the Sixers are 3-8 all-time. In games officiated by Brothers, they’re 2-8. Yikes."

 

I'm not sure I've ever seen a 6 hours before game time "why we lost" thread.

Interesting that 6ers folk say the Hawks won't hit another 20 3's again.  Well, probably true but that's not the point.  The point is to what degree will the Hawks out-score them from the 3pt arc.

ETA: It's like you and your pal running from a bear.  You don't have to outrun the bear, you just gotta outrun your friend.

If the Hawks get proper calls and are comparable in terms of free throws, where's PHI's advantage?

The fact that they only lost by 4 is a mirage based on the final quarter.
