Well that's a good way to lose by 40. LOL.

Dumb take

The problem is not even the offense though. We could be scoring at will and still losing this game. We can't do anything on defense

WTF you mean am I serious?

I'm not betting against the Hawks . . EVER.

Capella and Collins aren't playoff players.

I was wrong about Trae, but I don't think I am this time.

Clint is a fine regular season player where he can out work other teams, but he isn't going to perform at a high level in the playoffs I don't think.

His limited offensive skills are being exposed right now.  No jumper.  Limited post moves.  Great rim runner.  But with Simmons on Trae to take away the floater threat, Capela has been rendered useless on the offensive end.

That's why I say the Hawks might be better off going with Gallo to start the game.

Maybe if Gallo starts, and Capela is on the floor WITHOUT Embiid on the floor in the middle of quarters, the Hawks offense would flow better.

The defense isn't any better whether Capela is in or not.  So like I said, the adjustment may be to play 5 out.

We are in agreement on this

Welp..

They are letting Simmons take over.  He’s right under the basket and they don’t foul him.

Capela played well vs NY..BUt yeah, he's stinking up the joint this series..

Its Trae, Collins, Bogdan in double figures and no one else. The 76ers depth is looking way better than Atlanta's.

Their depth is legit.

Its going that way NOW.   You can't see that Philly has made a move to shut down Trae at the point of attack?   He can't shoot OR pass out of their traps cleanly.  They are throwing the basketball equivalent of a zone blitz at Trae and the only move to counter that is to take Trae of the ball and put in a ball handler with the LENGTH to beat those traps.  If they don't do it, which it appears Nate is afraid playing it safe, this series is OVER.

Why is everyone so skittish??? 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

The one thing about this game is that the Sixers have not knocked us out.

We're still hanging around.  This means that we're a 3 minute good stretch of play to getting back in the game.

 

And Capela misses the lob, because he's too worry about Embiid.

[Iverwig]

Capella needs to sit. He’s killing the Hawks tonight. 

[AUhawksfan]

The Sixers have adjusted defensively and have really disrupted the Hawks and their flow. I don’t see an adjustment this game but they had better come out ready to go next game. 

[hylndr11]

Hopefully they realize who they need to get rid of, they are playing good defense and we got some good shooters but not that good too streaky.  We need a playoff caliber player in the paint

[Cwell]

Capela playing like a complete b*tch

 Playoffs are about matchups.  Embiid is the one center in the league that is bigger and arguably more athletic than Clint.

That last basket by him was his strongest move yet in this series.

Nate isn't making THE adjustment.  TAKE TRAE OFF THE BALL!

You can't pull that out if it wasn't used in the regular season.

I think Clint is a playoff player but matchup based but his confidence is gone right now. 

JC proved against the Knicks and now Philly, he's Trezz Jr.

Nice move by Cap
