Trae is one of the best foul drawers for his size, that I've ever seen.  It just shows how high his basketball IQ is.

The mavericks board call him a flopper...I just don't see that at all!!! He is very smart and uses his change of pace, direction with great effect!

[GameTime]

Trae is literally the complete package on offense.

No excuse - If they are short handed, we are missing two hands. 

We are playing Vince at Center versus Embiid.

Besides, we've always played Philly tough. Embiid never steps up on the Trae PnR defense.

I'm not making excuses for them. They suck on the road even when healthy lol.

I need some Cam ASAP

I'd still like to see him more off the ball like Curry. Having to account for him even when he doesn't have the ball would stretch defenses to their limit.

Honestly, he flops a little bit... same as any other player that gets to the line a ton though.

The Sixers need a leader.  Embiid is a great talent, but he's no leader.

Simmons DEFINITELY isn't a leader.

 

Wow . . . Collins career just flashed in front of his eyes.

Ben and John got lucky

I think the Hawks game plan is to run Embiid to the point of exhaustion. Time out was just called, he was walking off and looked close to it already; we are still in the 3rd.

Same thing in the 1st quarter. Embiid  looked gassed when he got pulled.

I think the action by Ben on that play was a little excessive.

Hell yes. I've been saying all year Trae could have 12 dimes every game if guys would just hit their open shots and make the bunnies. They did that in the 1st qtr and look what happens. Most Assists EVER for an Atlanta Hawk in a quarter.

We don’t have the depth to handle JC’s foul trouble tonight. Or any night for that matter

Dearth of high flying dunks notwithstanding of course.

If Trae gets to 40 points - 20 assists . . . he'll be only the 3rd player in NBA history to do that.

- Oscar Robertson ( 2 times )

- Tiny Archibald ( 1 time )

Was wondering how long that list was. Not surprised it's this short.

That’s why he got lucky! If Collins got a broken neck on that play, the replays would not be as kind to him.

Bah! Got em with the Sandman hook.
