Even then I get missing that call. It's bad but it happens. But then they watch Powell writhe in pain on the ground, miss the entire defensive possession the other way, and still T him up.

It was a good game but the Hawks have got to get over this injury bug. Collins is out now and this is just to much. The only saving grace is just 5 more games and the all star break.

Hardway jr was hot last night guess they don’t play well on back to back nights


They don’t. They’ve been horrible on the 2nd night of back to backs at least since Luka’s rookie season.

It is no exaggeration to say that Theis fouls on every single possession. Sometimes every possession for each team.

Lets take two, Kemba and Brown, of your best three scorers away and see how well Tatum carries the team.

Kemba is brutal. Funny how some Celtics people still don't wanna trade him. He's been awful for a while as well, it's not like he's in a slump. They need a good PG. Funny, but Brunson would do them good instead of Kemba

Embiid is 2-11 and the the 76ers are up by 8 in the fourth . How are 76ers this deep.

I don't know what fans you have been speaking to, but we agree we should trade him we need him to build some sort of value first though before doing that.

It was a miss but the contract was close to his hands.

Putting the hyperbole aside I really like Brunson. One of the best (maybe the best) backup PG in the league.

Super fun watching this Knicks/Dubs game with fans back in the stands. Minimal as they may be they make a world of difference for the atmosphere.

Is their a more unathletic player in the league than Gallo? That man provides absolutely zero D and outside of getting to his spot and waiting for the ball doesn't move almost at all. I get that he can somewhat shoot although not that great this year but wow he offers literally nothing else. He is imo the worst defender on the team and that saying something considering Trae and Hurter are both Hawks.
