Seth Curry really is a darn near perfect addition for Philly.

And just like that the Sixers put together just a dreadful quarter.

If the Mavs had Seth Curry, they probably knock out the Clippers.

That trade really backfired for them.

Embiid does not look right

I think they're playing a really dangerous game with his health

Super impressed by the Hawks even if they don't get this one, didn't think they were ready for the big leagues quite yet and they're really giving a relatively healthy Sixers squad a good series.

Ben Simmons isn't even on the floor during that last possession.

The Sixers need to cut ties with him. He's a liability at the end of games.

Took an alltime bad Embiid game for the Hawks to pull out a razor close 1 possession win at home

Not on defense. Ben had a terrific allaround game. He cant hit free throws at the end of games so he was subbed out hes not the first star for that. And on defense there are other stars like Steph and Jokic who arent on the floor to get a stop at the end of games

Hawks survived both Bogdonovic and Trae both putting up big brickfests, hopefully the rest of the matches are this competitive.

Wouldn't say the Sixers are healthy with the way Embiid is looking out there.

For the good of his career, I don't think he should be playing if he actually has a torn meniscus.

Call me crazy, but injured or not I still kinda think the Nets win this. I don't trust the Bucks or Sixers with how they've played right now at all.

Depends if KD has an all-timer in game 5.

Clippers are flying under the radar though. I could see them winning it all.

They were my pick for forever and I just said I'd take the Suns over them, but I'm less sure after tonight lol. But kinda think the Nets role players have a game, and nobody's stepped up for the Bucks. They just don't look good on offense from what I can tell. And

That dunk by Kawhi just now has to be one of the GOAT in-game dunks. That was a thing of beauty.

Jazz looking frustrated. They still have an upper hand in this series. Need to bring their A-game for Game 5.

All the Clippers need to do is pretend every series starts midway through the first quarter of game 3.

The title is wide open. Philly was the 1 seed in the East this season whos to say Embiid wont have a big injury in the Rs next year? Its now or never they have a real shot and cant afford to waste it by being precautionary with his health
