Capela did all of that talking and has been looking like trail mix this entire playoffs.

You better believe Embiid heard his comments after the last game. Capela had no business making that comment the way Embiid has been abusing him this series.

This is so ugly.  Seems like the average play is one where Trae separates a little, dishes to someone, the defense contains that person and then that person tries to go one-on-one unsuccessfully.  Repeat.

[Peoriabird]

I think I see Nate's strategy...Allow Philly to score tiring them out and then take advantage of them in the 2nd half!  It will be the greatest comeback in NBA History

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Sixers down to 56% FG, but the Hawks can't score.  Only 12 pts in the quarter.

If Trae needs some screens to create space, HOLD THE DAMN SCREEN.

 

Trae's shoulder must be off, because he hasn't launched a bomb yet.

Might as well.  Nothing else is working.

 

Trae ( -30 ) for the game.

[Carmine]

This is what Nate needs to do to Clint in the locker room

[ATLHawks3]

This is the worse I've seen Capela play. Can't defend Embiid, and can't score without a lob/putback. Embarrassing.

Hawks don't play consistent enough to win this series. If they played their very best for 48 min 4 times they could win. Anything less is a loss. Playing poorly gets them blown out. 

[LucastheThird]

This isn't over, we've done it before. But our shots have got to start falling. We cannot win only scoring 40 points in a half

[BrazilianHawk]

How are we supposed to get out of this hole playing like this?

76ers are playing a very energy-consuming brand of defense. Can they keep it up? Are they hoping the Hawks check out of this game early?

 

[Peoriabird]

Trae can't even hit free throws!

[AHawks89]

Team total 2 assist at half. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Best offense set of the night.  Good shot Collins.

[hylndr11]

its called defense preventing you from getting any rhythm - thats why open shots arent falling, they cant defend these guys then go down and shoot lights out, we pulled a little trickery last game with our def but they were going to let that go

Philly is better. We have to fight like hell to eek out a win. When we aren't playing well, they completely dominate us.

He can’t even make the lob/putbacks tonight

He's not playing with any force on the offensive end.  

Johnny Max, on the other hand, is playing quite well.  

 

Trae with 14 pts but only 1 assist.

40 pts in the half. SMH. All these offensive weapons and we can't score to save our lives. Only attempted 1 lob. Trae attempted only 3-4 floaters. What kind of offense is that??

[LucastheThird]

I'm not giving up on this game, they only scored 62 points that half. We shot horribly and didn't play the best defense on Embiid. We can be better.
