He’s the only hawks could can somewhat guard Embiid. Embiid will go for 50 on one knee without capela.

Danny Green missed two pretty good looks. Seth Curry didn't.

I know MVP is a regular season award but Joel is definitely MVP for what he’s doing today

If you aren't gonna play him now, when you gonna play him?

Small meniscus tears aren't that big of a deal

I know it's just one game but everybody thought the Bucks and Nets series will be a tighter series but I see this one is going to 6-7 games. After yesterday's game, I think Nets will be resting earlier than expected waiting for the winner of this series

He can't hit a 3 pointer and free throw...as a guy making max money...he deserves the hate.


He played so well, it makes no sense.

Seth Curry pushed off. But don't expect any calls here. Game down to 7. I'm nervous for the Hawks.

I am worried about Embiid

And as a Lebron fan, nice to see Danny choking again

Green are just taking the most stupid shots.

Curry is badly missed in Dallas. J-Rich can barely see playing time in the playoff, and rightfully so.

Philly showing some heart here, but ATL still gonna win.

Let's see what Doc comes up with in game 2. I think they need a reboot.

They don't have a franchise if Embiid keeps missing playoff games. I believe Embiid, his agent, and doctors will do independent evaluation.

Anyways. Fake late game run by Sixers. Next time doc. Get the starters back in quickly in the middle of the 16-0 run.

Nate should maybe consider inserting Lou as another ball handler who can generate offense. Maybe use some timeouts to get him in for offensive possessions

Well he's paid big money to be a defensive anchor and I don't think he has done a great job at all on Embiid. He also seems like a liability offensively when he's not getting an easy lob in his hands.
