1. Ben Simmons needs to answer for his crimes. How the hell did we lose a playoff series to this team?!!!

2. Shorthanded Doc as automatic as buzzer beater Embiid

   Trae Young and his lollipop dropped on grass clippings hairdo can kick rocks

3. No complaints about roster construction now

4. how about that jump by House Jr.

   that had vince carter written all over

5. If Shake can just score less and focus on assisting we can use him as a backup point guard. But as of right now he’s still way too chaotic and tunnel vision when he drives. Towards the end I think Doc just told him to stop fking going for stupid shots and look for the pass first because at the first half he was absolutely awful.

   Also Korkmaz is unplayable and McClung has no place in the team unfortunately. Doesn’t score better than Jaden nor does he play the same level of defense and he’s shorter lol.

6. If Niang shoots well next game he might be looking to turn it around going into the playoffs

7. Say what you want about Jim Lynum, but dude can analyze some basketball.

8. pop aint got shit on doc when it comes to coaching bench starters

9. doc would win coach of the year without superstars. his offensive system is predicated on unselfishness, but if u got someone like embiid obviously u have to give him the majority of the touches

10. I truly hope Doc isn’t afraid to dig into our bench if one of our starting 5 may be having an off night in the post season. Sometimes you need a “spark” when someone on the team is cold (Tobias)

11. i know we all hate on trae, but the story behind his jersey number is really sweet; he wears it in honor of his father who he used to practice all his foul baiting moves on, jaden springer

12. Holy shit I didn’t even realize Shake had 16 dimes tonight

13. Harden and Maxey were in street clothes because they can’t crack this championship pedigree rotation right now.

14. Doc with a g league roster gives Phil Jackson a run for his money. No wonder Doc won COTY with a garbage ass Magics roster.

15. Games like this remind me of why the process was so fun. Love to see the young guys go out there and show what they’ve got. Even Doc and the coaches were having fun out there which usually doesn’t look to be the case.

16. Man this game went from a “Its a casual watch win or lose it doesn’t matter” to “I NEED them to win they’re playing too well!”

    It was filled to the brim was great moments, it’s one of the top games of the season for me

17. Sixers undefeated when McClung scores at least 5 points

18. Springer must be feeling great right now. Wins a G League chip, gets MVP and called up to help us beat a full strength Hawks squad lol I’m so happy for this kid

19. Would love to see Springer as the primary backup guard to start the season next year and let him play himself in or out of the role

20. Start McDaniels over Tobi the moment he goes cold Doc

21. I’ve seen enough. Let’s sit the starters for the playoffs and just let Doc cook with the bench mob. I can’t wait for Springer to win his 2nd FMVP this season

22. Shout out to Trez for the quiet double-double in 13 minutes.

23. We could never do the process with Doc. Dude would win 75 games a season

24. Start McDaniels over Tobias

25. Mcdaniels, House and Springer are all better than Tobi.

26. Holy smokes, Shake had 16 dimes??? That’s gotta be a career high for him.

27. Shrek’t

28. Hawks need a full rebuild.You with your starters lost to the second and 3rd unit sixers

29. https://preview.redd.it/nbce4svw5msa1.jpeg?width=527&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=58150654918fc584649461d74486615e731b74e5

30. Springer is going to be a guy let’s go

31. Hold up, did the Hawks starters actually lose to our backups? Holy shit that’s bad. We have some of the worst bench depth scoring wise in the league.

32. Glenn said Mac’s name wrong in the post game 🙁

33. Full game thoughts:

    -Jaden Springer, what? How? Like, this dude 6 months ago couldn’t dribble a basketball. Now he’s finishing at the rim, catch and shoot from 3 and still a defender? Put this young buck in the rotation.

    -Great stuff from Bball Paul, managing the game(though Doc also helped with the Harrell minutes, which ended up being huge for us.). 10/8.

    -Jalen McDaniels, once again. James Harden could really unlock something with him. I’m serious. He should be starting over Tobias right now, and the first string defense will look a lot better, transition offense too.

    -Niang brought himself back into the rotation with 3’s. It’s all about how you use him. That’s scary with Doc, can he sense when Niang’s on or not? That’s gonna be the key.

    -Shake was super bad, then he was good. Nice bounce back mentality.
    He does have tunnel vision, but somehow 16 AST? I’ll take it.

34. Just here as a Hawks fan to let y’all know we know we’re ass and want everyone out

35. Jalen with a game high 43 minutes – That’s mad! Deserved every one of them too, played with tons of energy. Hope he gets some run in the playoffs.

36. Good to see Doc saying good things about Springer. He is trending towards the Maxey path of getting a chance and not the Paul Reed path of getting a chance

37. Damn! Fuck yah! I missed a good game easter shopping for kids. Bummer. Definitely didn’t expect that with all our guys resting.

38. It’s nuts that we got a starter level player for Matisse “I cant make a layup” Thybulle

39. What day do you think game 2 will be? Me and my brothers in law bought tickets

40. Man love to see springer run the show. We should trade some of our bench is to keep Mac, Springer, and B-ball Paul in play in case something bad happens and our future is secured with those guys and maxey.

41. Hawks used to be my 2nd favorite team in Eastern Conference…. Until today’s match.

42. So fun to see doc hyped

43. Play McClung more than 8 minutes lol we all want it

44. I swear Doc turns into the second coming of Phil Jackson with a weak lineup.

45. who is this springer jabronie?

46. Waiting for a Sunday injury report: James Harden (Achilles Soreness), De’Anthony Melton (Right Calf Tightness), Tyrese Maxey (Neck Stiffness), Jalen McDaniels (Cock).

    Man got clocked in the dick and kept tugging on his wiener for like a minute straight.

47. I don’t want to hear another one of you fuck heads talk shit about Springer again

48. Danuel house should get minutes in playoffs

49. Missed the game. Did McHung throw anything down? Good to see Springer had a good game too

50. Holy shit, nba channel did a whole segment and acted like harden was the only one out. Then they tried to talk about Trae being so dope.

    Just wow. Embiid don’t exist. Maxey don’t exist. Harris well….
