Keep that good defense on Embiid, and make the others continue to beat you.  Truth be told, they made some tough shots,

Can't allow the Sixers to shoot 58.5% FG though, even if we are shooting 55% ourselves.

Kourkmiztan probably no't going 5-5 in the second half.... right?

If we take this series without our 2 best wing defenders, Philly will forever be sonned.

ESPN sucks so bad.

Bob and Nique all day. I'll take homerism over whatever that halftime analysis was.

Seriously, we need our wing defenders. Look how locked we were against NYY. Now we look so averge on defense.

That's a pretty damn big IF bruh, struggling at home. We gotta figure a few things out because the last 6 quarters of basketball we have looked like very inferior.

I expect Nate to draw up some open weak side looks for Kevin when he returns to get him going.

I'll also say that my philosophy or strategy would be to accept that Embiid is going to get his and try to take away the others. Limit Harris, don't let Kirkman or Milton's Curry get going. That is, imo, the best recipe for success. 

The Hawks have taken the opposite approach and basically not guarded anyone other than Embiid.  But what happens when Embiid plays like the superstar he is and drains shots over the double team? Now you got the others going AND Embiid is scoring. Not good imo. 

I don't know. IT's a lose, lose. Embiid was absolutely destroying us when we were lax with the help. I'll take my chances with kourkminiztan and Shake shack.

Hope not because Hawks will be in trouble if that happens.

This is not true.  Those others aren't making wide open looks.  They're making a lot of shots with hands in their faces.

If Embiid starts to control this game, we have no shot.  If he's still passing, that means that more people are handling and shooting the ball that isn't used to being high volume scorers.

Dwight has 8 points.  That's the difference in the game right now.

Great off the ball play by Bogi and Trae.

Bout time Nate drawing stuff up for Trae off the ball.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

LOL.  Trae is tough man.

[hawkman]

Perimeter defense is nonexistent.

[Bonkers]

Double teaming Simmons for what!!!!

[Iverwig]

I can’t stand Embiid 

[hawkman]

No reach in foul calls???

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Danger time for the Hawks.

[Thomas]

About to get ugly. Take over Trae.

He's a great player.

[Bonkers]

It's over

Sixers have put their stamp on this game and imposed their will. Doesn't matter if the Hawks get heated up they can't stop the Sixers sm
