The Sixers are working way to hard to keep this lead...

If it taking this much energy and effort for them to keep a 10 point lead at home, imagine playing in Atlanta.

Something is off with Doc River's game plan.

Of course they give Gallo a T. Refs are terrible.

I'm impressed by ATL. I thought this was over.

He literally swung near the ref to say “Get the **** out of here “ and no tech. He basically committed two different tech worthy things in one play. Gallo 3! Frauds gonna get swept when Mr Glass goes down.

Hawks are going to bait Embiid into getting ejected

They are a much tougher matchup for the Nets though.

This would be great as an NBA finals series.

And I'm glad the refs didn't take the Embiid bait and just gave him a tech and not Gallo.

Starting to think Embiid immaturity is creeping up here being fest up that the Hawks keep going straight at him with lobs and super speed and no matter how well he's playing he can't blow them away like a 1 seed should be able to vs a 5th seed.

They did give Gallo a tech. Don’t know why.

It should been a block on him first though, so maybe refs were saving face

On top of that the only reason Gallinari made contact was his teammate pulled him up.He had his back turned to Embiid.

It was just a superstar call.

Gallo seems quiet but he’s competitive as hell. He definitely loves a good fight.

Garbage technical on Gallo

durden_tyler · Post #1319 » by **durden_tyler** » Wed Jun 9, 2021 12:55 am

i guess we'll see what the Sixers are made of. How they respond early in the 3rd would be key to this game. They have playoff experience and a veteran coaching staff so they should know what to do.

Gallo sold the call, but it's an offensive foul. Embiid actually did the same thing to Capela earlier and Capela should have sold it too.

Keep the same engery. I like Embiid but dude falls on the floor to sell fouls all the the time. Don't blame him. Cause if you fall it has to be a foul lol.

Who will win the series? (after game 2)
