I am impressed with Harris, I keep waiting for him to turn into the playoff Harris of old but he has been cooking

Harris has been really good this year. Maybe having Doc brought him back to the Clipper version.

Can we actually have a series that the losing team doesn’t whine obnoxiously about the refs? Seriously. This isn’t an NBA problem, it’s the dumb ass NBA fans problem.

I would say soccer wins on audacity of flops, but basketball wins on frequency of flops. But the audacity one is close.

You've obviously never seen Mexico play. They're elite in both categories.

When you get so easily suckered by the flops and foul baiting it just encourages players to work you. It dilutes the quality of play for fans so griping is a natural reaction. You feel you're being cheated. And these guys are pros and should keep that stuff in check. Just play the **** game and stop trying to score illegitimate points.

Hawks did defend Embiid better this game. At least he didn’t score more than 1 point per minute played. 27/9/8 in almost 34 minutes.

We get it.
While the amount of sodium in your posts is entertaining and I can certainly understand your jealousy being a Hornets fan, he pretty clearly slapped Embiid across the arms.

The crowd has been quieter than a high school gymnasium after a game of badminton.

The whole Central / South American region, really. I've seen some wild, wild sh*t over the years with those teams.

I just want to watch good basketball and be entertained. Embiid can do better. I don't want a superteam to win this year so if it's Sixers Nets I'm pulling The Philly Seventy Floppers. Hawks are the underdog. If anything I wish my Hornets were closer to being relevant so Hawks are my goalpost, not the Seventy Floppers.

Class dismissed.

Good win by Philly. Feels like they have control of the series.

McMillan needs to start Huerter and just take the bench beat down with Hill and Snell. If Lou and Gallinari cannot carry the bench in game 4, the Hawks probably lose anyway.

Lou Williams is washed. Can see why the very dead serious Clippers dumped him. He should have filed his retirement.
