Hawks not playing scared

JC needs to be decisive.  Stop hesitating. That's what Randle did all last series.

Is anyone hearing a lot of static? Trying to make sure it's just not my connection.

Hill doing his job. Playing tough. Even the three he gave up to Curry was highly contested. I can live with that

The pace of this game is crazy right now.   Sixers still playing at Washington's pace.  Hawks are definitely looking to push the ball.

Think it bodes well for us -- deeper bench and Embiid is the life of their team and he will struggle getting up and down the court in the 4th

Trae dissecting their "defense".

Trae is cooking them inside.

thought it was just me. Restarted my system and everything

[benhillboy]

Gotta keep Embiid off the line, that’s his mojo.

I don’t know what to say about Trae man.  When he’s making defensive plays (2 already) you’re at his total mercy.

[HawkingAwesome]

Bogie feeling it

[bird_dirt]

Anyone happen to have a link to this game?

My local ABC station decided today was a great day to air an hours long telethon.

[kg01]

We're playing illegal defense,  daring them to call it.

[BrazilianHawk]

Now THAT'S a late whistle lol.

[kg01]

Any complaints out of Philly for excessive foul shots?

But he still has to take it.  The threat of his 3 point shot is what opens up the paint for him.   If he didn't shoot 3s, they'd sag back on the floater, instead of pressing him up top.

And look at the distance on that shot.
