Official Game Thread: Hawks at 76ers -- GAME 7

[Final_quest]

These teams are tired.  If Trae was more calm and less erratic we could take charge.  

[REHawksFan]

Hawks by 2 at the half and Trae hasn't done anything other than piss off the Sixers? I'll take it. Gonna be a battle down the stretch but Trae can handle that.

Why is Trae not getting to his floater?

Our superstar player is 1 - 12 FG . . and we're up 2.

 

And we're shooting 39% and Capela has 2 rebounds.  I'm okay with this first half.

I thought the play where Bogi set everyone up for a Collins 15 ft jumper with 3:15 to go in the 2nd was pretty good. Got us refocused. Huerter is showing out. 
 

Go Hawks!

Trae has to settle down and show up offensively in the 2nd half. If he starts hitting shots, the Hawks can blow this game wide open.

I think the #1 thing Collins is learning this playoffs is you have to play as physical as the refs are allowing, and that requires you feeling out the game in the 1st quarter (starting out physical and tapering back as needed).  He has looked solid this game.  I hope this offseason he works on his handles a bit so he's not turning it over as often.

Wrong time to have your worst game of the playoffs Trae. Got to settle down in the 2nd half.

One thing we know, Kev doesn't carry over hot shooting across halves. Someone else will have to pick it up after halftime. 
If Trae can resist the temptation to take those shots, we may be ok.

[NBASupes]

While Trae is shooting poorly, he's doing everything else extremely well. Other than a mispass to Capela, he's been excellent. I am not mad at that tech. Game 7, you gotta fight for every possession

I’ve seen him go through stretches where it’s off.  I think he is excited for game 7 and playing too rushed.

Hawks up 2 with Trae doing nothing. 
 

If we win Huerter needs a billboard downtown. 

 

He's just not making shots.  And he's had a few careless turnovers.

On the positive, he does have 5 assists and have drawn 3 fouls that sent him to the line.

He's grown up in this series. He struggled with it against NY but he's starting to adjust

They are clogging the paint. No space for him to get there. It's really too bad Trae's been missing his shots, but he'll get better in the second half.

Bring the same energy and more for the 2nd half. Keep Tobias down and chase Curry make him put it on the floor.

Chuck didn't watch the game lol he's saying Trae needs to take care of the ball... Embiid has more turnovers than Trae and he's not the primary facilitator

@kg01 stop doing pushups!

Shaq won woah we winning

With our Franchise player shooting major blanks and we still have a lead?? Holy heck man we should take this one. Hit anything at all Trae and keep folks involved. 

[Spud2nique]

2nd half Vegas line:

Sixers -5

If we up 2, Vegas expects Sixers to win by 3. F that! COMON HAWKS!!!!
