2021 NBA Playoffs East Semifinals: #1 Philadelphia's Process is incomplete vs #5 Atlanta Hawks (ATL wins 4-3)

[DirtyDusko]

How is making wide open shots luck?

You really think those will be there all series?? And on top of making them at high percentage? Stop it. The meltdown is coming

Clean this up, and they’ll be fine.

They are doubling Trae and will continue to double Trae, so yeah, they will always be there. They are not letting Trae go one on one or run a pick and roll all game.

If they do that, they really are gonna lose in 5.

So they will continue to double and trap Trae at half court and rather go 3 on 4. From there it is up to the Hawks make the right reads.

The Hawks have a legit shooters on their team, Huerter, Bogi, Gallo are 38 to 40 percent shooters on good volume. Collins is a 38 to 40 percent shooter.

Betting on good 3 point shooters to miss isn't smart. Like, if I was a gambling man, I would've won money all playoffs betting for the Hawks because people don't understand that this Hawks team was a top 10 team with Nate as coach. Their record and playoff seeding is fool's gold.

LMAO!!!

 

[Justauser]

Sounds like he wants to break Trae's legs and it all be cool.

 

[Sky Davis]

Sixers got away with a lot in game 1 and Ben wants to take it up a notch lol

if he could make FTs they woulda won

If anything, I expect the same from ATL minus the mental breakdown collapse.

They clearly were not prepared to be pressed full court down so late in the game. Just like high school teams...two niggas just stayed in the front court while their teammates were getting trapped in the backcourt. If one of them had just come up to the middle to be an outlet, it would've broken Philly's press every single time.

Also, it amazes me how an overwhelming majority of these guys who have literally been dribbling a ball since maybe age 3-4 still dont know you can run the baseline after a made basket. They continue to condense the floor by staying in one spot and making it easier for their teammates to get trapped. EVERY SINGLE TIME

How Bogdan Bogdanovic Brought His Big-Play Ability From Europe to the NBA

The Hawks guard is known throughout Serbia as one of the hardest workers—and clutchest shots—in the country. And now, with the failed trade to the Bucks behind him, he’s showing he can perform at that level in the NBA postseason, too.

Atlanta is settling for too many jumpers.

It's a crap shoot sometimes whenever Danny Green steps on the floor
