Embiid dropped 39 and 9 on a partially torn meniscus. Anthony Davis wouldn't have played if he had the same injury. LOL

We will see in game 2.

No. The only adjustment is not to play the Howard thybulle maxey hill bench for 5-6 minutes together

It seriously felt like we were set to see another massive choke job by an Atlanta sports team.

28-3 vibes were definitely in the air.

Great game by the Hawks. The won 8 vs 5. Silver has some workto do if he wants Philly to advance.

Hawks just rode a crazy 1Q to a BIG game one road win. Refs did their best to pull 6ers back but Hawks just kept coming up BIG

Only one game in but what do I win?

Sixers are not advancing. Atlanta shot amazing but Embiid and Simmons both had about as good a game as you can expect from them at this stage in the playoffs. Hawks almost choked it at the end because they got rattled, but I was mistaken in thinking that the Philly PnR defense on Trae would be better than the Knicks’... they have no answer for Trae.

“Easy sweep for the Sixers if Embiid plays.” Amazing game from Embiid, no Hunter, questionable officiating down the stretch, and the Hawks still take it on the road.

Embiid took a page from lebron book. Down 20, knee problems. Game close, running like a mad men.

This narrative has to die when Joel “Actually Led The League In FTs” Embiid is on the other side.

Honestly not sure how many games I'll watch if it's going to be close to 60 FTs per game.

Solomon Hill is ass. Cannot see Atlanta winning this series if Hunter isnt back. How is his injury?
