2021 Eastern Conference Round 2: (1) Philadelphia Sixers vs. (4) Atlanta Hawks

[highwhey]

GOBB in absolute shambles :oldlol:

You disappeared when nets lost, didn’t reappear until KD was cooking them a game later.

Gobb atleast accepts the beating. Babyboy manny runs from adversity

Yep, I always Gobb responding to the criticism. Manny disappears completely.

[dreamshake]

I don’t care as much as the masses do about 4-14 from line. I care he only took 4 attempts from the field in 38mins. They should be a bigger story and it’s not. People including yourself are weird. And I couldn’t care less about the Ben bashing. I made a thread here earlier in year bashing him. Better off laughing at the epic choke job by sixers than hee hee Ben is a loser can’t shoot free throws heee heee

14 ft attempts indicate he had another 7 shots so he tried to score 11 times last night. The issue isn’t shyness. It’s lack of ability to hit free throws.

[fourkicks44]

Most of the free throws were from the Hawks intentionally fouling Simmons off the ball to send him to the line.

He has some severe issues.

Ben needs to pack his bags and take them to Atlanta. He is not welcome back in Philadelphia after Game 6.

Sure he has one last chance. But I have no faith in him. He is an embarrassment.

Time to go Benny boy.

About 25 million dollars salary short but I take it:oldlol:

[red1]

I’ve been saying this all season. Sixers have a #1 (embiid) and 2 #3’s (Ben/Tobias). And lately Ben has been playing like a #4. I’m trying to be nice and not call him an outright role player.

A Brad Beal, Dame Lillard. A scoring guard that can get buckets so what this team needs. A guy you can give the ball two, say f*ck the offensive set we need a score whatever the situation. That’s what Trae Young did. Didn’t have the best shooting night but he still got the ball and when that bucket was needed at key points in the game.

Whether a trade is pulled off? Another story. Only hesitation I had for James Harden was would he stay here after his deal expires. But Houston asked for way too much due to Morey. So that’s neither here nor there. We need a scoring guard by any means. And no Maxey ain’t it. He could be the answer to our bench having an instant scorer.

Beal or Lillard. We got Ben, picks and whatever.

Gotcha.

Yeah that sucks dude. Beal was definitely attainable in a swap for ben. IMO wizards wouldnt have had much to lose when before they went on that streak.


Embiid is a monster he'll win a ring in his career if he stays healthy.

[brownmamba00]

Embiid is a monster he'll win a ring in his career if he stays healthy.
I feel the same way. Just get Dame in a Philly jersey.

[GOBB]

Gotcha.

Yeah that sucks dude. Beal was definitely attainable in a swap for ben. IMO wizards wouldnt have had much to lose when before they went on that streak.


Embiid is a monster he'll win a ring in his career if he stays healthy.

Yeah it sucks. I’m more mad that Sam Hinkie didn’t get a chance to finish the job. I like Morey but damage was done in between Hinkie and Morey. We got taken advantage of by a divisional rival in a trade for Fultz. We pass on MJP and worst case Hometown kid Bridges for an undersized PF who was moved to SG with no guard skills. And before anyone chimes in about MJP injury history? Sixers had a free lottery pick to play with. We won 50 games and went to playoffs. That pick was house money. You take a talented player regardless of red flags. Much like you did Embiid. We gave al horford a crazy deal. Thank god okc took it off our hands.

Only hope now is to find takers for Ben. I’ve been saying we should have sold high on Ben and shake Milton. Shake stock plummeted. Would’ve been nice to have Ben, Shake, picks and maybe another player. I don’t know. I trust Morey for now tho. But I’ve been done with Ben as far as trading him. Yeah his defensive ability will be missed. Yeah he helped get guys good looks. But he got to go. I’ve learned to accept him for the player he is where I’m not mad and upset like other sixers fans. He’s at his ceiling. I see no significant leap in his game/career.

Just mind boggling a guy 6’10 240 plays like a f*cking warzone streamer on twitch that orders Uber ears all day, collections donations and make a damn good living playing video games. I’m not hating just saying Ben plays like he has the physical attributes of a guy like that. I know not all streamers look the same but just the stereotypical ones is all. Lol

Waste of physical attributes man. Unreal. Last night he had an easy dunk and missed it because someone challenged and they had no chance to block. But you get an easy garbage dunk and scream in Capela ear like a maniac. But you finished with 4 shots. And that was one of them.

This series shouldn’t have them losing or winning in 7. Kind of want them to lose so it’ll force sixers hand into getting rid of Ben. As opposed to us advancing further than we have since 01. Just to hear “see we are one step closer let’s grow with Ben”. No. He can go grow somewhere else. Not here.

Sorry for long rant. I’m done.

[GOBB]

Again this is a lazy way for fans to grab stats and create a narrative. He was getting Hack a Ben bro. Atlanta did it during their run erasing the lead. I think one time he made them pay hitting both or 1 of 2. I want to say both but missed the rest on out.

Yeah the frustration with ben is completely understandable. I'm actually very familiar with your team I've watched more sixers games than most other teams and people dont realize how close you guys came to another ring.


butler
embiid
redick
harris
simmons

That 2019 team was nasty. I remember how shook I felt when redick would go up for a shot and he'd drill it much of the time. We already know what butler does when he has a decent team.

Since then embiid improved he was already one of the best bigs and now he's an MVP-level player meanwhile simmons hasn't done shit considering his hype and stature as a top pick. He's not a bust but he's definitely one of the weakest number one picks in recent years.

He's definitely gonna get shopped as soon as this postseason is over. Man is single-handedly derailing the process.

[red1]

I feel the same way. Just get Dame in a Philly jersey.

That would be nasty. Guaranteed ring assuming health.


Every team in the league has a hard-on for lillard. I woudnt mind seeing him go to the raps or lakers. :pimp:

[red1]

In any case its not doom and gloom yet for sixers fans.

Series isnt over. Young teams are prone to making mistakes and as fun as these hawks are to watch, they still dont have a lot of experience outside of maybe lou and gallo. The nets would eat this team alive. I would surprised if they get more than 1 game.

If the sixers have heart they'll come out swinging they only need to take one on the road to bring it back home. Just one game.

[fourkicks44]

You think we have any real shot at maybe a Dame Lillard?

It all depends on Dame and whant the Blazers are willing to do for him and if he is content in Portland.

The only way he is getting dealt is if he demands a trade. In that situation then there is probably a good chance of getting him because other teams probably don't have a piece to move like Simmons.

Conversely, I was thinking if Dame stays in Portland they are going to have to radically change their team and they could want Simmons as a part of their team as a prime defender next to Dame.

A deal centred around McCollum and RoCo would be pretty sweet too IMHO.

[insight]

Solomon Hill caught a lot of heat for going through Lebron diving for a lose ball. Why is nobody talking about what Embid did diving into Collins legs for no reason.

Embiid is a reckless, hot head and needs to calm down before he hurts himself or someone else.

His teammates should be stepping up and diving on loose balls instead of him.

There, you you happy?

[ArbitraryWater]

What's with Embiid's sad defeated face when things arent going well?

Such a stark contrast to otherwise big smile big energy self.

He doesn't hide his emotions. Or he can't, I'm not sure. Poker face might help him during games.

His team just blew a lead in a game they should have won. And none of his sidekicks (Ben and Tobias) stepped up. No one wants to see a mcnabb all smiles after a bad pass, pick 6, loss.

Who here is talking about smiles?

Surely looking like he‘s about to cry isn‘t the only emotion, nor the right one.

Always such a defeated look.

[GOBB]

Always such a defeated look.

You’re looking too deep into his facial expressions. I used the smiles expression to show an athlete doing the opposite of a cry in a game. Embiid smiles at the end are you cool? Or do you react into that and play Dr.Phil? I’m bringing up a different emotion and facial expression to see if you’re going to call Embiid out on that as well. Sounds like he can’t look any way after a loss.

Nope, literally just have a problem with his defeated, whiny look. Obviously smiling wouldn‘t be apt either, but at least thats a potentially engaging emotion that could channel energy.

How are you gonna turn momentum walking around like somebody took your toy.

I actually like Embiid.

[tontoz]

I actually noticed the same thing and commented earlier in the thread about it. Embiid's body language, even in games they won, has been odd. I speculated it was because of his knee but a lot of times it looks like he would rather be somewhere else.

[ArbitraryWater]

I don’t like Harden with Embiid as much anyway. Both thrive with the ball.

I think Beal would be an ideal guy to slide in there

stupid


there's enough possessions for the both of them and besides Harden's driving with Embiid waiting being an absolute mismatch, they could just take turns dominating.

[King Kawhi]

yeah I noticed that too. guuys like Trae feed off that shiet.

Well no matter the result, this is gonna be interesting

[lakerstekkenn]

Why are the 76ers running their offense Center from the three point line ? when they should be posting up Embid and running their offense reading the defense.

[Manny98]

Let's go Trae!!

Put these bums to bed :oldlol:

Of what? we're 3-0 vs the Bucks at the Barclays

[fourkicks44]

I like Maxey in early

[kabacho]

sloppy from both teams

[Druckenmiller]

Ben Simmons is ****ing useless :oldlol:

Best thing that could have ever happened is him get two fouls and go to the bench. If Doc has any sense he’ll keep him there.

[DoctorP]

Sixers look shaky, they are either going to wake up or they are going home, obviously

[kabacho]

wtf is lou doing?

Ummm, #WINNING?

Horrible lineup by the Hawks wtf get Trae in

[RRR3]

Trae is ****ing balling. If one of his teammates actually starts helping him it’ll be a blowout. Wouldn’t count on it though this team is pretty shook besides Trae a lot of the time on offense.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Crazy how 21 yo Trae is better than any version of curry by a mile.

Curry never did any of this in the playoffs despite playing for stacked casts who covered his every weakness

Sure curry stat padded with no pressure, but what Trae is doing is true greatness. He's above curry all time in my eyes already

[FultzNationRISE]

Trae cookin with onions tonight boy

[DoctorP]

Trae is in control

[lakerstekkenn]

Philly adjusted their offense, but can't play playoff basketball defense, Trae Young is destroying them easily.

[RRR3]

Yo Bogdanovic is a choker this dude is letting Trae down hard.

[Mask the Embiid]

Ben Simmons a -15 on the night....cant wait til we get rid of em

[RRR3]

Bogdanovic should be ashamed of himself.

[DoctorP]

Sixers slowly waking up. Looking like a solid unit right now.

[fsvr54]

Yo Bogdanovic is a choker this dude is letting Trae down hard.

For real. He was marketed as this Euroleague "playoff assassin"

[FultzNationRISE]

I give Capella and Collins a lot of credit for their consistent motor in the paint, but if the Hawks could somehow get a legit 7 footer... look out

[RRR3]

Everyone in this game is choking besides Trae, Huerter, Maxes and Harris.

[The Deam]

I give Capella and Collins a lot of credit for their consistent motor in the paint, but if the Hawks could somehow get a legit 7 footer... look out

Let's hope that never happens and that they also give Collins the max

[DoctorP]

neither team tremendously impressive... hmmm

[fsvr54]

neither team tremendously impressive... hmmm

Feels like Lakers Celtics game 7 in 2010

[fourkicks44]

Korkamz last game in a Sixers jersey tonight.

Thanks Furkan, you never reievntied the wheel but you got paid absolute peanuts and showed up to work every night. Even when you were cold you still had the balls to put up shots the team desperately needed.

The Colangelo F.O f*cked up and didn't pick up your option, but despite your plans to go back to Europe, somehow you guts it out and came back for minimum.

Been there through so much with this team and worked hard to be were you are. I'll never forget that unlikely game winner in Portland or even that historic summer league performance.

Somebody gonna pay you this summer congratulations and thanks again:applause:


It is crazy to think he is actually younger than Thybulle.

[highwhey]

collins needs to come to phoenix, hawks can have frank kaminsky, a beast of a 7 footer

[Manny98]

EmBum 4/11 5 turnovers

Philly fans "it's all Simmons' fault :cry:"

Dumb ass fans Simmons' deserves better

[FultzNationRISE]

Ok, Seth Curry.

I see you being a better big game performer than your brother.

[Spurs m8]

This cvnt is annoying - like his brother - when he scores.

Dunno why it's so hard for a Curry to score and not be a c0ckhead

[DoctorP]

big push by Philly. Hawks look asleep

[RRR3]

Bogdanovic is an embarrassment. Should be released.

[MadDog]

Seth channeling his inner Steph. :oldlol: Dead aim and shot.

[Manny98]

Why the **** is Curry getting so open

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Seth curry is pretty much Steph curry, just take away the dancing and the hype.

[fourkicks44]

Why the **** is Curry getting so open

In all honesty Manny, this is the thing about this series...

The Hawks are actually dog shit on defense.

The Sixers are the dumb f#cks that actually can't exploit that for some reason.

[Im so nba'd out]

Thats dingo blood running through those veins

[DoctorP]

wow. Curry is on fire

[FultzNationRISE]

Both teams kinda careless with the ball for an elimination game :biggums:

[RRR3]

Bogdanovic is a loser.

[The Deam]

Bogdanovic and Simmons need to swap jerseys right now

[DoctorP]

Simmons is a glorified glue guy. He's like Bam Adebayo... not real max type guys

Collins would beat the shit out of Embitch

we're getting at least two game 7s this weekend :applause:

[highwhey]

they should use the Jokic flagrant foul as a reference case and throw out embiid.

[insight]

Ready for Solomon Hill to take out this punk Embid. Dude Elbows Collins and things falls on him and acts like he didn't do anything. Last game he ran into into Collins knee Embid is reckless.

[RRR3]

I legit wouldn’t talk to my teammates after the game if I was Trae. This is like watching Bron with the Cavs in the 2000s lmao

You are delusional! Trae passes the ball out of traps, which is the right play to make, he just got no help. It should be very obvious by now, NO ONE on the Sixers can shut down Trae Young. The Sixers have been EXPOSED, the Alpha player of the series is Trae Young.

yawn. Harris and Simmons shut his ass down late. If not he would have won it single handedly

Too many players were not on the game and did not show up tonight. I would have like Nate to play Snell, Bogi was killing us out there and he left him in the game too long.

The were blitzing Trae forcing the ball out of his hands, the whole point of surrounding him with shooters is so he can pass the ball and create easy looks. The Sixers are a LOW IQ team, they gritted it out tonight which is what they needed to do, but they didn't shut down anybody but keep believing that if you want to.

hey dumbass, ill repeat myself again: he got shut down, if not he would have won the game himself as he is totally capable and expected to do as the star. See Durant, Paul George, Kawhi, etc

[72-10]

everyone played like trash, including Trae Young

best game performances
2. Trae Young
3. Seth Curry

[lakerstekkenn]

The 76ers adjusted on the offensive end; this got them the win, but they need to seriously work on their defense because it's terrible plus their rebounding boxing out is terrible also.

You have no clue what your are talking about. Trae is a TRUE POINT GUARD, Durant, George, Kawhi and Shooting Guards and Forwards. Trae creates for his ENTIRE team, he doesn't just run offs screens or play ISO. looking to score. The Sixers were blitzing Trae on the pick n roll action, Paul George , and Durant don't see same the amount of double teams Trae does. You are clueless.

The Sixers definitely responded better in game 6, and got production from multiple players like Seth, Maxey and Tobias. Outside of Trae Young the Hawks looked like the moment was too big for them, give credit to the Sixers for getting it done.

Trae left it all out on the floor, that's all I can ask win or lose. What I do know, is Embid, Simmons and Tobias are NOT true ALPHAS like Trae Young. It's obvious, they should all buy Seth Curry dinner since they were standing on his shoulders all night.

No I,m not saying that, it's a team sport. What I am saying is Embid is still the most talented player on the floor but he is not an Alpha. Embid is emotional unstable, and not built for when the lights are the brightest.

You f"ckin tell them Doc.

Gonna put it out there people have sorta forgotten that Joel Embiid is playing big minutes, plays both ends of the court in a long 7 game series with a torn meniscus in his 'good' knee.

People seriously underestimating how f*cked that must be for him.

Let's also remember everyones apparent boyfriend and allege series changer, Dendre Hunter, with the same injury, not playing and having surgery instead.

Please, I have had multiple meniscus tears, they not all the same. Deandre had two PRP injections, and surgery to trim his meniscus which is why he was out for 6 weeks. Embid's tear was so small he didn't even miss one game. Stop acting like dude is playing on one leg, he is a drama queen.

How can a NON All Star NON ALL NBA PLAYER score 34 points 12 Assist and 5 Rebounds against the MVP Runner Up, All NBA First Team, All NBA Defensive Team, All Star, Embid and the All NBA Defensive First Team, ALL STAR Ben Simmons and All Defensive Team Tybull?

I,m talking about missing a game in this series. I like Embid, he is by far the most talented big man in the game and a great competitor. I don't like how he carries himself when things aren't going his way. Under adversity his body language is terrible and he is reckless and borderline dirty at times.
With that said I respect how he is putting it all on the line trying to help his team win. I just don't like how he stays on the ground and acts like he is hurt everytime he struggles.

Refs were crazy pro Hawks.

Especially since they took away that Maxey 3 until the end. That one was already bogus.


Looks like the better team prevails in BO7 once more.


Embiid is a defensive genius. Its crazy how well he adjusts, knows when to contest, when to just scare the offensive player off or fake a contest...

[tanibanana]

If Doc Rivers won’t make the ECF, while his assistant coach last season is already in a deeper WCF. Then its time we can all agree that his Celtics ring was a fluke/luck.

What a poor example. If you watch the play Dwight Howard set a moving screen, which is the only reason why Maxey was wide open. The holding call on Lou Williams was bogus, he was trying to get around Dwight, that was an offensive foul.
With the series tied it should be obvious by now, either the Sixers are not as good as advertised or Atlanta is better than advertised or both. Seth has been on fire hitting clutch shots, Bogi has not been able to buy a bucket this series is about which teams roll players show up and show out in the 2nd half. This is a toss up series with Atlanta missing their 2nd best player.

Hawks had a good chance but Collins and Bogs wet the bed.

Curry and Maxey saved Philly's season. Maxey should be getting 20+ minutes every night considering what a head case Simmons is right now.

Maxey should have been getting minutes regardless of Ben Simmons. I’ll never get Doc. Just kind boggling his reluctance to play the kid who brings high energy off the bench. George Hill has been a dud acquisition but I don’t even think Doc is using him right. He should be on ball not off. Wouldn’t be surprised if Doc went away from Maxey next game. I’d love nothing more to be wrong.

Nah, not mad at all!
2 days ago Sixers fans were ready to trade Ben Simmons and Tobias for a box of peanuts. Doc Rivers was a chocker coach who was being exposed and Embid was out of shape.

Not going to argue with you, if you want to pretend most Sixers fans were not saying these things than go ahead and live in your fantasy world.
Not going to bother convincing you otherwise or trying to copy and paste post.

I will say your boy Embid is not an Alpha he is betta and the Sixers are never going to reach their potential until he stops whining and acting like a baby when things don't go his way. He is mentally fragile. He refused to talk to the press after game 5 because you lost, after game 6 he ran to the press complaining about the officiating.

I will copy and paste his B.S to prove how betta he is.


ATLANTA -- After the 76ers' 104-99 Game 6 win Friday to tie up their second-round series with the Hawks, Joel Embiid was so fed up with how he viewed the officiating for him compared to Atlanta's superstar leader that he wouldn't even say Trae Young's name.

"I just felt like it wasn't called both ways, especially because of the minimal contact that they get on the point guard, and when it comes to us, we don't get the same thing," Embiid said after Philadelphia came back from down 12 in the first quarter to win. "So I just want it called both ways. If you're going to call something like nothing on their point guard, it should be the same way and call the same thing [for] me when I get -- if I get -- touched."


Embiid took only one fewer free throw than Young -- going 3-for-4 to Young's 3-for-5 -- and the Sixers took 23 freebies as a team to Atlanta's 24, but Embiid said he believed his fourth-quarter run-in with the Hawks' John Collins was not judged fairly by the referees.

EDITOR'S PICKS

What the 76ers' Game 6 win means for a critical Game 7

John Collins put Joel Embiid on a poster and practiced his WWE finishing move at the same time
With 4:03 remaining in the fourth and Philadelphia leading 92-85, Embiid rebounded a Seth Curry miss and scored on a putback, striking Collins with his forearm in the process.

While the pair of big men were on the ground, Collins pushed Embiid, and the two went chest to chest once they got up, careening toward the stanchion, with players from both teams joining the fray.

There could have been some lingering tension between the two stemming from a third-quarter alley-oop that Collins threw down on the Sixers center, when Embiid was called for a foul even though Collins made contact with Embiid's face on the way up.

In their later skirmish, Embiid was called for an offensive foul and Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers challenged the ruling. After an official's review, the offensive foul stood and both Embiid and Collins were assessed a technical foul.

Embiid said he believed that Young, who he said was pushing him from behind, should have been punished as well if the refs were going to dole out techs.

"I got a tech for it, and I didn't think it was an offensive foul," Embiid said after finishing with 22 points and 13 rebounds. "I was just trying to stay calm and have my hands up. And someone was pushing me from the back, and I don't understand why I got a tech.

"But I guess it is what it is. I was hacked all night, and I don't think I was on the free throw line until I got to the fourth quarter and all that stuff. So it was questionable, but we got the win. That's all that matters."

Indeed, no Sixers starter -- Embiid included -- attempted a free throw through the first three quarters. In the final frame, however, the Sixers went 15-for-20 from the line, compared to the Hawks' 6-for-12 showing.

Philadelphia went 7-for-8 from the charity stripe in the final 30 seconds to keep the win in hand.

Some of the referees' whistles against Philadelphia might have aided the Sixers in a roundabout way. When both Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris picked up two fouls apiece in the early going, Rivers inserted Tyrese Maxey in the lineup, and the rookie delivered, jumping at the opportunity and finishing with 16 points and seven rebounds.

And Harris, after going 0-for-2 in the four minutes he played in the first quarter before being pulled because of the two fouls, got it going the rest of the way, scoring 24 points on 9-for-18 shooting over the final three quarters.


"When Tobias got the two early fouls, in some ways it may have helped, because then he came back in and he was really fresh," Rivers said.

Hawks center Clint Capela, who finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds, spoke to the challenge of contending with the MVP runner-up in Embiid.

"We have to keep our composure," Capela said. "I have to keep my composure when I guard Embiid. I know he'll make tough shots. I know he's great at what he does. Every time I have to focus on the next action and, for my part, make his job as hard as I can. I know he'll make some tough shots. That's OK.

"Just go the other way and try to put my teammates in a good position to make shots. Just make sure every possession we don't give anything or we give hard, contested shots over and over again."

[GOBB]

So you can’t point out any fans in here? You have gone back and forth with sixers fans in here and don’t know who? Who was saying Tobias and Ben for peanuts. Should be simple to answer.
