Hawks vs 76ers Preview
Trae Young played the villain in his first career playoff series, leading the way as his Hawks dispatched of a feisty Knicks squad in the first round. He took a bow after putting the final touches on the victory.
“I know where we are. I know it’s a bunch of shows around this city,” Young said of the bow. “And I know what they do when the show is over.
I feel like I’ve worked my whole life for this moment, to play in the playoffs on the biggest stage. I put in a lot of work. A lot of the guys who have been here have done the same. It feels good to win it. It feels good to win the series. Now, we get to focus on the second round.”
Young averaged 29.2 points and 9.8 assists in the postseason, rising to the occasion.
“Trae loves this stuff,” Collins said. “He’s in the gym grinding. You see him pandering and playing to the crowd. Certain guys get motivated and find their reason and extra motivation to play based off the crowd. The crowd does give you energy.
“Trae loves to use that negative energy and use it as fuel for him. For whatever fans who want to keep antagonizing that man, please go right ahead. It’s not gonna bother him, and we got his back, as well.”
The Sixers coasted past the Wizards in their first-round series, 4-1. However, the main topic of conversation for Philadelphia is the health of MVP contending big man Joel Embiid. His availability for Game 1 is still a question after it was announced he had a cartilage tear in his knee.
“He’s got to go through his treatment,” coach Doc Rivers said Friday. “As far as when we were doing shooting and stuff like that, he looked great. It’s too early [to rule him out]. I don’t want to say one way or the other. We’ll just find that out.”
Embiid’s presence will be hard to replace. He averaged 28.5 points and 10.6 rebounds this season. His absence will put a larger load on Ben Simmons, who was talked about last series for his lack of efficiency shooting, most notably from the free throw line. The Wizards went to a “hack-a-Simmons” approach in Game 4, their lone victory.
“You want me to take Ben Simmons off the floor? He’s pretty good. I’ll pass on that suggestion,” Rivers said, defending the former top pick. “He could have [made more free throws] but he didn’t. But he still does other things. I’ll take that. Listen, keep the narrative going, we’re just going to keep playing.”
Philadelphia is a 2.5-point favorite for the opening matchup. The total is set at 220.5 points.
