We're getting destroyed and Nate will do nothing about it 

What happened to our offense?

[bleachkit]

Our defense has been crap. They are getting whatever they want.

Capela went through the other centers in the league like Mike Tyson wading through heavyweights... until he met Holyfield. Embiid is Capela's Holyfield. Look, if he can't stop Embiid, he needs to bite him in the ear. DO SOMETHING...

Capela is shook like Tyson was shook against Holyfield. Capela should be embarrassed. I get Embiid is better but I don’t get the fear.

Knickerbocker strategy right there.

[BrazilianHawk]

WHAT??? How is that Pjilly ball?

[hawkman]

How is that Philly's ball if Okongwu got the rebound?????

[TheNorthCydeRises]

As long as they don't deliver the knockout blow, we're OK.

[Hawkmoor]

They pay Snell to do ONE thing...

[LucastheThird]

Geez we don't like to make it easy on ourselves. Let's win the 2nd quarter and go from there

Both. But it seems we are avoiding forcing Embiid to guard the Trae pick n roll. Our bread and butter last game.

[hawkman]

That was the worst call I've ever seen. No foul? No jump ball???? 

[BrazilianHawk]

Terrible quarter, I'm glad it's over. 

Gotta hit some shots from now on if they're going to just let the sixers score at will. 

[Peoriabird]

So Nate is going to continue this silly Capela mirroring Embiid?  Is he seeing something I'm not seeing?

Quick... someone post that 50/50/90 statline....

[TheNorthCydeRises]

They had a chance to knock us out in Game 4, but they missed some critical shots and we came back in the game.

Thing is, we MUST make a run with Embiid off the floor.

 

Sixers shooting 80% FG right now.  Obviously, that will come down.  But by how much?

 

I'd love to see Bruno get his shot at Embiid, just by putting a body on him and possibly frustrating him with his physicality.  Nate won't do it though.

Just stay within striking distance Hawks.  

Weather the storm.

 

[Buzzard]

One more tech and Embiid is gone. Your teammate made the great play on the offensive end; and that was such a bone headed immature foul to get going back on defense.

[aali34]

They're 5/7 from 3 and we're 1/6.

They've only missed 4 shots in the whole quarter.

If Capela is awful defensively what is the point of having him in the game?

Pick and roll with King blown bunny
