lol... dumbass Philly fans booing their team with 1:30 minutes and down one point. Philly players looked defeated. 

Their team is mentally fragile as it is and the fans did them no favors. Their media is going to be even more brutal. It'll be interesting to see how they respond in Game 6 because they looked done in the 4th quarter. The Hawks have to be in their heads right now. If the Hawks jump on them early on Friday they'll fold.

Sweet zombie Jesus. I could hit that blindfolded with one hand tied behind my back.

Rick Barry style?

I fell asleep on the game when Simmons missed a dunk attempt down 24.  Woke up to a win, wasn’t surprised in the slightest.  
 

I see Lou was +31 (Kevin -23?) so he was clearly cooking up juicy and crispy all flats with fried rice (no onions please) but Trae’s 3 steals and OO’s 13 stat points in 8 minutes jump off the page.  This just a gangster ass squad man.

Series update:

+30 from 3

even at the line in far fewer attempts 

-8 rebounding 

6 fewer turnovers 

I knew the first two were how the Hawks were gonna stay in the series.  The last two are why we’re one game away from the Conference Finals wtf bruh.  Its just extremely rare for a younger, smaller team to virtually stay even on the boards every half.  And with Trae realizing that limiting his turnovers in turn makes his teammates better playmakers as well, this team is just an absolute headache for 48 minutes.  F&@kin Nate man where is his 5 year extension and ownership share already godd@mit. The acceleration of this team’s maturity has been nothing short of spectacular.

You know what we need to do I ain’t even gotta say it...

Rewatching that entire 4th quarter and have to say Collin's impact can't be overstated. Banked in that enormous three, had big rebounds both offensively and defensively, set up Capela for a dunk to cut it down to eight points with under three minutes, had the biggest defensive stop in the game. No way we win the game without Collins.

Oh and I know we have been calling out Cap, and rightfully so, but his defense was actually pretty damn solid when it counted.

Kinda love how the running theme is so dominantly that the Sixers choked... and the Hawks mainly just stood around watching the Sixers choke... we didn't earn it.

Chip on the shoulder you say? 

Nah.

A chunk.

So nobody gonna talk about we’re younger , they’re older, and the “Rocky” effect of wearing them down? I’ve been waiting on ANY of the (shit)Talking Heads to even approach the topic.

I dont think age is a factor all that much. Philly is actually a relatively young team. Embiid is 27, Harris is 28, Simmons is 24, Curry is 30, Korkmaz is 24, Thybulle is 23. The older vets on the bench like Howard and Hill dont play much.

Only the 5th time in the past 25 years a team has come back from down more than 25 points in a playoff game.

Wow. Just wow.
