Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers: Storylines

As great as Ben Simmons is, the Atlanta Hawks have exposed him in back-to-back games. He's been a huge offensive liability, a non-threat from the perimeter, and was 4/14 from the line in Game 5. Yet, Doc Rivers refused to take him out of the game despite the Hawks intentionally fouling him.

Joel Embiid has been nothing short of spectacular in the postseason but he's not fully healthy. He's playing on one knee and has looked completely gassed and worn out in the second half of Game 4 and Game 5. Tobias Harris needs to help him pick up the slack and carry the load in the offensive end.
