5 Big Questions (Playoff Edition!)
What, if anything would you say to Danny Green, who's had a tough 2 games so far?
Nothing that he probably isn't already hearing from his teammates and/or coaches. He's a veteran who's been part alot of winning teams and moments and his leadership and contributions are still needed. Keep shooting, except those fastbreak pull-ups, maybe when you're hot again but now.
How do you think Doc has managed the rotations thus far?
Aside from the all-bench transgression in G1, which pretty much cost them the game, I think the rotation has been fine. I think I'd still like it to be even shorter, maybe 9 deep instead of 11 but I'm sure that's all fluid as the playoffs go on.Â
Has anything particular popped out to you about the series, two games in?
Not really. Atlanta is a good team. They shoot the ball well, pass well but as we've seen, they can be disrupted if you run them off the lines and make things a bit uncomfortable. It's incredible how dialed in Joel Embiid is though. I don't want to downplay it but I guess me not being that surprised at how he's being this spectacular on essentially one leg is probably because I took him at his word when he said he would do whatever it takes to win a championship.
How about Shake?!
Thats a badddd man. Guy went from rotation afterthought, total lost sheep, to pretty much saving the season. Credit to him for staying ready and credit to Doc and his teammates for believing his time would come.Â
Prediction for the rest of the series?
Still think good guys in 5. I think Seth Curry torches them in Game 3, Tobias Party Game 4 and Jo Jo and Ben close em out in Game 5.Â

Travel day! Enjoy three playoff things from game 2 courtesy of my guy Sixers Adam
If it's one thing we should know by now it's that this team for whatever reason, almost always performs like shit/loses a Game 1 but there's not much to take from that aside from that they typically wind up winning that series. Andrew Unterberger lays it out for us.Â
