Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Apparently no nba coach is going to make him try on the defense end even in the playoffs. It would be my #1 priority if I was playing against Atlanta even if I had to bench green.

Yeah, I don't get it. I understand that you don't want Green to be running around on offense, but you can't allow Young to be able to just stand in the corner. But no other option but Green. Matisse would have a similar impact on offense, Milton is on a cold spell, Hill isn't that type of threat they need.

Honestly the best way would be Maxey. Maxey would be way more of a challenge for Young. But Doc has ZERO desire to start Maxey in the Playoffs. If it wasn't for Milton being in his cold spell, Maxey would barely see minutes this playoffs.

I bet Basketball-ref is so soft they don't want to add Pandemic P . And not sure who calls PG-13 Batman, must be another nickname he gave to himself.

Can we leave that stuff in the Western Conference with K-Why and whatever Jazzman is going to be calling Donovan Mitchell this year?

Bill Parcells getting late to the game.

Expect Simmons on Trae Young in the second half. That's a tendency Doc has. Doc doesn't have Ben on elite scorers all game. He doesn't want Ben to pick up early fouls, so he hopes that the others can somewhat contain them and then put Ben on them in the second half.

But, either got to get Green off the court or get him moving more. He is 0-0, he's a liability offensely if he isn’t going to make an impact. Even Curry would make him work just because he is willing to put the ball on the floor.

Just like illwill10 said, Simmons on Trae.

Simmons doing everything, everyone else should feel free to help him.

Trae Young is too quick for Ben Simmons.

And 2 fouls on Simmons this quarter.

Just like illwill10 said, Simmons on Trae.

That's what Doc does. It's all about limiting the fouls Ben gets. If Ben gets in foul trouble or misses shots early, Ben gets very timid.
Ben with 3 personal fouls

Seeing Kevin Huerter got me thinking, are there even 10 North American white guys playing regular minutes in the NBA right now?

Yeah, go sit on that bench Green.

Guess I should be surprised by this, but at the end of the day we are talking about the Sixers here.
