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

[NekiEcko]

Yeah, you can tell that he is trying too much.  But the team has step up.  Just two more quarters

[BrazilianHawk]

Hit some shots, hit the FTs, And we'll probably be in the ECF. 

 

Let's score some to start the 3rd, shall we?

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!

Was a great play. The whole team has seemed focused and measured, we just need Trae to relax and be a general. We can do this.

Huerter was great early in game 6, can he duplicate his first half in game 7? I’m one of his biggest fans, but we need him big time if we are going to win this game. Let’s get our OGs -  Trae, John and Huert to bring us home. Let’s go!

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 

Once Barkley starting talking about running for Bama governor he has been even more out lunch, years ago. This is just another example.

[RandomFan]

We really need one of Trae, Bogi, or Gallo to get on fire in the 2nd half to help Heurter out.

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. 

The 76ers look tired and just need a slight push to fall over. This game shouldn't be this close. The Hawks can straight take this if they come out strong in the 3rd quarter.

Shaq won woah we winning

Shaq has a good read on dynamics usually.  
This is it.  One half left.  Will either be elated or heart broke.

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.

 

This is a great comment.

Glad Nate is seeing what we are seeing. OO is a superior athlete to Capela, and can mirror Embiid better than Capela can. 

[AUhawksfan]

Anyone else notice OO shutting down Embiid when he was on him in the first half?  That stood out to me the most and props to Nate for sticking with him.

[REHawksFan]

Dang it. We're at the beach and the remnants of this tropical storm just came through and knocked out the TV.

Love Capela for the most part but 00 is so very instinctive which is what Capela is not.

I wouldnt say shutting him down, but all series Capela has basically done nothing but foul Embiid or whif.

Kev will have to really step up. I've seen him get hot before and disappear after halftime. They may mark him a little closer in the 2nd half and make him gun shy. If he can keep up his play down the stretch it will take a ton of confidence and show major growth.

I love JC stepping in and knocking down his midrange tonight. That shot is money for him. 90% of the team is playing like every shot and possession matters. Trae

Exactly. Capela is a better player than OO,  but OO is bothering Embiid and his “injured” legs much more. 

[Final_quest]

Gwu played more because of foul trouble.  He did well.  Will be interesting to see Embiid’s energy level to close the game.  
Shut Curry down and they don’t have much else on offense.

[LucastheThird]

Get a hand on Curry to start the half! Do not let him kill us again like game 6

[Dnice]

Hope trae didn't catch cold from bogi.
