Too bad Embiid has an answer for Embiid. It be a miracle if this guy can get through this series, let alone a deep playoff run.

True, but Embiid also has no answer for his degenerative knees and back.

Is Embiid being Isaiah Thomas'd right now? Because it seems like he's being Isaiah Thomas'd.

Foul was on Harris, but I didn't see it in replay

Us Hawks fans know Trae is using the rules of the game to his advantage and most are not fouls. However, as with most refing, just be consistent.In the first two games the 76ers had a +18 ft advantage.


That’s what happens when you play strong and go the basket a lot as opposed to shooting jumpers all the times. It amazes me how so many NBA fans can’t grasp this concept. If you shoot a bunch a jumpers you aren’t getting many calls.

Most of that disparity is from the 1st game, when the Hawks shot a ton of 3pts and the Sixers were playing inside a lot more

As a Knicks fan I’m loving this result. Hawks with their BS call seeking. Mice Trae and his flops. Can’t wait to that dude gets eliminated.

Embiid is obnoxious as hell but damn if he isn't a complete beast. Just devouring the Hawks in this series.

Ben Simmons has owned the last 6 mins. Completely turned the game
