Hawks were smart to use Huerter as a counter to Seth Curry. Curry has made himself a scorer, but has a tough time with defending a guard that can post up against smaller guards and also shoot outside.
This NBA postseason seems mostly about having a healthy team and listening to all the commentators cry about the teams they overestimated.
The Hawks were the better team. Sixers did great to win game 6. Embiid being hurt and Scott Brooks implementing hack-a-Ben in the first round series made the difference.
Simmons is not going anywhere, he can improve. He is good enough already if he did not get psyched out.
Sixers were the #1 seed, but Hawks seem like they have been the better team since they made the coaching change.
The better healthier team has won every series. The teams that lost did not blow it. Every team that has lost, lost to a team that is better right now.
