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.


Philadelphia is in trouble because Trae Young had a poor first half but the rest of the Hawks played well. Both Harris and Embiid played well...It is only a two point game.

I think Atlanta is gonna take the second half.
The Wizards shoukd have drafted Derik Queen

I told you so :banghead:

Hawks cut that 18 point lead easily.

How does your bench get outscored 32 to 0 for an entire half.

That is just ridiculously awful.

Hawks have momentum going into the 3rd, I expect them to take the lead and highly likely to steal this game

Agree, that first 4-5 minute stretch in the 3rd will decide this game.

More like 6, he's getting away with so many fouls and travels.

I see multiple people talking about hack a Simmons. I went and checked his ft%, 56% this season and 56% in his career. How is that a good strategy?

If he shoots at his avg, Sixers will score 112 points per 100 possessions. In addition to the benefits below:
1) When someone shoots a lot of ft in a short amount of time, they tend to shoot better than avg.
2) The chance for fast break after ft is much lower, which means the Hawks will be operating low efficiency half court sets.
3) Foul troubles for your rotation players.

Hack-a-XXXX is an ok strategy toward the end of the game when you are trying to catch up and extend the game by stopping the clock and hoping the other team misses.
