Getting ready for the Tobias Harris disappearing act in the 2nd half.

Like I said, Hawks are scary when they get it going. They can score a ton in no time at all.

If I was the Hawks, I'd come out and hack-a-Simmons to start the 2nd half and play super physical on Embiid. He's a loose fuse and might get himself ejected.

If that isn't Nate's halftime focus he needs to be sat down and talked to.

I'm sorry, but I can't get over the fact that Embiid is getting this insanely biased treatment by the refs. Wtf is going on, is Embiid Silver's bastard child? They don't look alike to me, but wouldn't surprise me.

Mr Glass must fall in the second half. Piss him off Hawks. Would be hilarious to see him ejected.

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.


I have no idea how he keeps getting good jobs.

ATL probably played a little over half a good quarter after getting punched in the face and only down 2

Good half. Gallinari and Huerter are showing up. Its funny to watch but Embiid does not like being touched. I keep waiting on Gallinari to call him a pussy to his face :lol:

Hawks order from coaches for second half should be to hard foul Embiid nonstop. No easy buckets. Make him lose his temper.

Hawks can win this if Trae plays better in 2nd half...he has had a very sloppy first half...also stop leaving Seth Curry open on perimeter

And think about how they officiate Jokic. It's criminal.

Simmons is gone if Philly loses this series, right? I mean Embiid isn't going anywhere and Harris probably isn't either and they can't fire the coach they shouldn't have hired in the first place.

All they have to do is send Tony Snell in the game. I think that was Embiid who hit Snell and who Snell was cussing out before they stitched him up.

They are a much tougher matchup for the Nets though.


Maybe in the regular season, they can't score enough to keep up if the big 3 are in go-mode
