Official Game Thread: Hawks at 76ers -- GAME 2

[marco102]

It felt like Atlanta was shooting terrible.  We are shooting 50% and 35% from three.  If we cut out the turnovers we can win this.  I think we'll see a better second half from Trae and Bogi.  Let's go!!!

Philly playing tough for sure

If Nate comes back with Solo starting this game, I really have to question Nate.

We need that 3rd shooter in the game, whether it be Kevin or Gallo.

 

Trae, despite all of the turnovers, finishes the half with 11 pts and 6 assists.

If he and Bogi start making their 3s, the Sixers are in trouble.

My only problem with this is that it leaves a huge hole missing off the bench. Just gonna have to ride it out with Solo playing like the first 4 minutes of the second half.

We're not even playing good yet we're only down 2. Let's settle down and finish this game strong.

To be honest, I would have been ok going back to ATL 1-1. But if the Hawks somehow steal this game the series is over. That first quarter was the worst case scenario and the Hawks are still in this game? This would be a demoralizing loss for the 76ers. With their history, there's no way they're mentally strong enough to think they have a chance at that point.

Come on Hawks we can beat these boys.

[bleachkit]

Kevin is playing great 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Come on Nate.  Get Solo out of the game before we give all of this back.

[HawkingAwesome]

Tighten up the passes yall

Again, going up 2-0 guarantees nothing. I think the thing that is worrying for Philly is there was all this talk about how "Philly would be able to get away with resting Embiid a game or two this series". That is obviously absolutely not an option if Philly wants to advance. Embiid's knee will only get worse, even if they make it past us how much will he have left?

I couldn't watch the first half but now I'm back to call the 13 threes were making in the second. 

[Lurker]

We did come back with Solo.

Lmao why.

It's tied though.

[Iverwig]

Disappointed Solo started second half. 

[HawkingAwesome]

Solo only has one eye?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

shoot the damn ball Trae.

Don't let them off the hook with empty possessions.

[Thomas]

F*cking Curry again.

[hylndr11]

We are just tired no energy no hops

[Carmine]

Ew

Philly is a mentally fragile team.

If they go down 2 - 0, they do not have the poise to win 4 out of 5.

They haven't even played in a Conference Final.

Joel is a damn cheat code.
