Nothing is guaranteed in sports.  Remember, the Falcons were ahead of schedule in 2016 and haven't come close to a Superbowl appearance since then.   You have to take advantage of when you have the opportunity.  

Exactly. You never know what happens in the future. Other teams improve that you would never expect. Gotta strike while the irons hot. You get a chance to escape from a series you barely had any control in, you have to capitalize. You can’t keep counting on Philly to choke to win. Hit your open shots at a decent clip and we advance.

Explain?

Nate doesn't control when Cam is available.

If Bogi's out, they better dust him off for 16 minutes.  He can play great D on Harris and curry. 

[JayBirdHawk]

Why can't OO get more than the obligatory 10 minutes, he should get Solo's minutes.

I am not feeling optimistic about game 7. We have been having problems shooting the ball all series.

Doctors cleared Cam.

This is all true.  Even Collins is only 23.  Does Schlenk just keep going with the young crew Collins, Reddish, Hunter, etc; or does he try to trade some of those guys for a veteran scorer who can play D?  It seems like the only trade bait we have is Hunter.  Collins is a free agent and I don't think the Hawks want to pay him what he thinks he's worth.

I think you greatly underestimate Hunter being our #2 star going forward. He's gonna be our bigger Middleton that's an even better defender. And still nobody has a clue what Cam may develop into in the next 2 years. 

If anything it should be trading some combination of pieces like Bogi, Gallo, Collins, Capela for a star shooting guard or wing to pair up with Trae and Hunter.

We desperately need a second all star that we can depend on. And not a phony all star that only gets voted in off team success. If that ends up being Dre or Cam then so be it. These “others” disappear far too often. These constant 2-15 type scoring droughts have got to stop

No Cam, Hunter and potentially No Bogie puts a lot on Trae

His defense has been so good. I just wish he would have hit those free throws along with everyone else but Capela.  We still have a shot to win this though.  Embiid is getting worn down. 

Who really saved the sixers was Maxey.

Give OO 25 minutes. We need his activity and energy.

They cleared him for practice, he has not been cleared for game action, they still control that.

Just like when players return, they control the minutes, not Nate.

That is the dumbest rule in the NBA.

I'd def wait to see what we have with our other guys.  Remember this team isn't at full strength (majorily on the defensive end) and we are still giving the Sixers everything they can handle. Cam and Dre are going to be the key to our championship run.

LMAO....That's also True.

We absolutely blew tonight's game.  Frankly with how everyone BUT Trae played like horse shit I would have played Trae the entire game or as close to it as he could go. I have no words for the play of Bogi. Or for the rest of the team. Trae was f***ing JORDAN out there and the rest of the Hawks were Taco f***ing Joe. If you don't know who that is google it.

I still believe we can win game seven. We have no fear of that team. We just need to HIT OUR FREE THROWS and make OPEN SHOTS.
