Official Game Thread: Hawks at 76ers -- GAME 1

[Spud2nique]

Which one of you was that crazy Hawk fan that look like Keenan from SNL in Philly? Was that @lethalweapon3 or @MaceCase.. that dude was passionate. My gf suggested I get at Shaun King and find out who he is and go make a friend.  That dude and I were amped! 
 

I gotta get that guy’s number!  Awesome!

If they're going to trap us like this, I want Snell in the game instead of Hill.

We need as many shooters in the game as possible, if they think they can get away with playing like that.

Snell did lead the league in three point % right??

You haven't seen a giraffe dunk before? No you say? Counselor, I present to you Exhibit A above.

This variety of giraffe, Giraffus Gallinarius, is a rare specimen indeed. Pokedex entries claim that when the conditions are JUST right, this pokemon is able to elevate up to two inches off the ground, much like their taller cousin, Zaza Pachulianus. But be mindful, legend says this rare event only happens about once a year in the most extreme of circumstances.

This one feels okay. Not great, okay. We gotta be better. 

That ending leaves a sour taste, but we got the W. If we had lost this game I would be inconsolable right now.

That was an incredible performance from Embiid. Will feel terrible if there are long term consequences to it. Nothing but respect to lay it all down on the line...but if you are Philly how many more games like this can you count on before he blows a tire for good?

Snell isnt getting significant minutes. Again, who's minutes are you taking away to put him in?

That wasn't Nate being outcoached or us turning the ball over.  That...was one of the worst most blatant things I've ever seen in the NBA.  Those were hard, intentional fouls and there was not a single whistle.  That's crazy...and depressing.  We got the win, but really?  Really...?  Let the teams play man.

Just wow.

 

 

Hopefully Jim Kenney will hold a press conference to speak about that blatant discrepancy before Game 2.

True but ill say this, unless folks're gonna tell me PHI is gonna press all game 2 - and the Hawks won't put in a counter - then I'm not concerned.

In the guts of the game, Hawks outclassed them significantly.

Ref right there. Milton slaps him right on his right arm. Are you serious?

Can we go through the film and see what were the fouls and what were just poor mistakes on our part. Let's not generalize. 

I have YouTube TV and we've been sitting here watching the end of the game over and over.  We made mistakes.  Let me fully backtrack there, because yes...you're correct on that.  However, they were intentionally fouling us trying to stop the clock and the refs called nothing.  I re-watched the Huerter timeout dozens of times.  They chopped his arms and grabbed him 5 times RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REF before they gave him a timeout.

They also didn't call the shove by Bogi on the inbounds, so it went both ways...but clearly they allowed for the drama at the end of that one.

He was limping by the 4th quarter.

There's nothing okay about a young inexperienced team going into the number 1 seed's house having them down by 26 and winning.  It got ugly at the end, but we are 3-1 on the road.  This is excellent SUPES.   When some heard Hunter was out, they just wanted to be competitive.  We were dominate for most of this game, but inexperienced caused it to be close.  

This was an exceptional win.
