  1. Are they reviewing that for JC contact to head?
  2. Yall can call me crazy but the Hawks are in trouble this game. Trae on fire. Embiid hasn't exerted any energy yet, Harris is getting fired up, and the Hawks only lead by 4. If Bogie or Gallo don't get hot in the 2nd half, the Sixers are going to blow past the Hawks once Embiid gets cooking.
  3. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside when Trae is on the floor. I feel like my insides are revolting against me when Trae is on the bench.
  4. Need to settle down a little. I get pushing it but have to be under control.
  5. Last 2 games; Won 1 game where we shoot 36% overall and 30% from 3pt and another where 60% of the starting lineup goes 6-24 / 0-8 / 12 pts in a combined 86 minutes of game time. That's hard to believe.
  6. Yep. The most egregious thing to me officiating wise is the refs buying the Embiid flops early in the game when they clearly don't late. If you know he's flopping call a tech on him rather than a foul on the Hawks.
  7. Philly gonna try to win by 40+ tomorrow night. Just to make sure it sticks. Hawks gonna have to play their best ball to win, imo. I'm glad it's at home as there's a better change Bogie, Kevin, and Clint are able to make buckets. Need to have a hot shooting night for sure.
  8. OO is typically in vs Dwight who, let's face it, isn't anything great at this stage of his career. If he were in vs Embiid he wouldn't fare any better than Clint.
  9. Still gotta figure out how to stop them consistently.
  10. Maybe it's just me, but if Embiid wants to play physical D and then flop on offense, I'd give him a reason to fall Make every foul a hard foul.
  11. You know good and well he wasn't around for the Knicks series and didn't show up til they started losing to Philly. That's one reason it was so nice around here that 1st round.
  12. 40 pts in the half. SMH. All these offensive weapons and we can't score to save our lives. Only attempted 1 lob. Trae attempted only 3-4 floaters. What kind of offense is that??
  13. Hawks don't play consistent enough to win this series. If they played their very best for 48 min 4 times they could win. Anything less is a loss. Playing poorly gets them blown out.
  14. Misses 3 at the rim already. Gotta make those. Also gotta make them work a little for their points.
  15. I legit have no idea what to expect tonight. Can see it going a lot of different ways honestly. All I know for sure is I'm freaking out a little inside. Let's go HAWKS!!!!!!
  16. Yeah.....something's gone wacky with the system. I was just notified that I'm a Newbie and earned by 1-year badge even though the same page shows I've been a member since 2016.
  17. Wait wut? Didn't you say just yesterday that anyone thinking we could win a title this year was delusional? If that wasn't you then I apologize, but I thought you said that just yesterday. Also, it's not like basketball is played like football where we can take Cam out on offense and put him in on defense. He has to play both ends of the court. I understand the *potential* he brings on defense, but I'm not sure it offsets the massive liability he would be on offense. I don't want to give Philly any more of an advantage than they already have on that end of the court.
  18. How many wide open shots they gonna miss? Dang.
  19. Gotta figure out how to get stops. Lovin the big lineup. Actually feels like we can matchup size wise.
  20. The truth is the Hawks were only ever a match for Sixers WITH Hunter OR WITHOUT Embiid. As soon as we got WITH Embiid and WITHOUT Hunter it was a wrap. And the players even played like it. Haven't looked confident ever since they announced Hunter was done.
  21. Sorry @Spud2niquenothing about this game has changed my lack of excitement. This sucks.
  22. This is what I've been saying too. Single cover Embiid and do the best you can. But don't ever let the OTHERS get going. Forkmaz, Milton, Curry, Maxey, Hill, and even Harris. Make life hell for those guys. If Embiid goes 30-35 and scores 75 points, so be it.
  23. Trae is a superstar. I'm not questioning that. But he still needs help. He can't outscore the Sixers by himself and he obviously doesn't play much defense. How do we slow them down? Offensively, how do we get JC involved and get the outside shooters going? How do we get production from the 3? I like the suggestions herein to shelve Solo and Tony, but I'm skeptical Nate with consider either. I'm guessing he'll roll out the same unit as in all the other games this series. Maybe he starts Tony instead.
  24. You are right that the series isn't over yet. For me, playing such a poor game at home was just added deflation after the deflating Hunter news. So I've just lost a lot of the excitement around the series. No doubt it would return with a big performance tonight, but the reality is, they have to win again in Philly if they want to advance, and that seems highly unlikely at the moment. Winning cures all though and I'm here til the bitter end. I just lack excitement at the moment.
