Official Game Thread: Hawks at 76ers (Freaky Friday)

[Dnice]

Gallo should have taken that 3, 

[hawkman]

Lou is killing us! He needs to heat up. 

[JayBirdHawk]

Capela having a rough go, now 3 fouls- see ya in the 2nd half.

[Buzzard]

Busy night for sports. NFL Draft on TV and the Hawks on my laptop! Trae makes a world of difference but we are still the walking wounded with Hunter, Huerter, and Bogdan out.

[hawkman]

Nate, get Bruno in there.

Yep. If it gets out of hand I say pull Trae Capela and  Snell...

[JayBirdHawk]

Put in Bruno.

Embiid is too big for Collins and Gallo.  Gallo has to be hot for this to make sense.

[terrell]

They aren’t even guarding Collins

This is exactly why he isn’t a stretch big. He can’t shoot high volume. Even when left open..

[hawkman]

Not time to complain Collins. Get back on defense.

[Dnice]

Maybe we can beat Chicago. 

[hawkman]

ZERO interior defense. ZERO.

[benhillboy]

Yeah I think Embiid is the MVP.  Jokic is great but he doesn’t leave nearly the physical imprint on the game Joel does.  And his jumpshot touch on the rim is just too soft.

[JayBirdHawk]

Rough 2nd quarter with no Capela.

The only silver lining is if we are going to lose, I’d rather it be a blowout so we can get some rest for a game we need to win tomorrow night. We just look overmatched, again.

No one should ever say Collins is a stretch big, that's not his strength.

That situation could have been managed better than what it was. Putting Collins or even Okongwu on Embiid was not the answer.

We are still missing guys, not much Capela in 2nd quarter and nothing from the bench - 5 measly points from Gallo.

[REHawksFan]

Hawks missed a ton if wide open 3s and have no answer for Embiid. Not surprised by the score given that. 

Need to get Bogie and Hunter back with these guys and get ready for the late run.

Also, I'd much rather be on BKN's side of the bracket for a potential round 2 matchup than on Philly's.

Hunter would all but cancel out Simmons.
