Hawks need Hunter to lock Tobias.
Let Embiid get off and try not to foul
Don’t let Curry or Shake get off.

I still think the Hawks can win the series but only if Hunter plays.
That’s asking for a lot. No one has been able to stay with Curry yet. And this is with Danny Green basically playing for the Hawks
 
Crazy stat. The funniest part about this is three of the other guys on this list were playing in the 1950s

This is a tough club to join because most coaches wouldn't allow players to continue to chuck shots if they're shooting 25%. You have to be a star player who the coach trusts and having a particularly bad night (which Paul George has a lot of)

Embiid is just a goddamn GOAT

top 5 defender and a top 2 C.. ima even be bias here and say Embiid > Joker

id take embiid even on one leg

*Joker rightfully deserved MVP btw

They're about even IMO.

There's a huge gap between Embiid's defense and Jokic's defense.

There's also a huge gap between Jokic's playmaking and Embiid's playmaking

So much finesse for a player that has the ability to back anyone down.
Hope he stays healthy to play the nets.

Thats what happens when you let an out of shape 22yr old come into your arena and win game 1 AND game 2 of a first round series

Even with Jokic playmaking, Jo IMO is more skilled as a scorer

(still don’t have a problem with Jokic as MVP)
 
Hawks gotta start Huerter game 3. I respect what Solomon hill brings with his effort as a veteran but going all in on shooting is gonna matter more cause they can’t stop them anyway with Embiid, Harris and curry playing like they are. So might as well fully commit to shooting then starting Solomon hill for defensive effort but still failing to slow anyone down and then playing 5 on 4 on offense cause he’s giving you nothing on that end. Outside of Trae last night the rest of the team actually shot very good from 3 so that’s an encouraging sign that that continued. Just gonna need Trae to find his range there again cause hawks will need it if the 6ers have really figured out how to slow him down from getting into the paint. Collins gonna need to step up too only reason last night wasn’t his worst game of the playoffs is cause he’s had an even worse one already
 
we're putting up some terrible shots.
Credit to Nate, it’s not nearly as bad as it was under Lloyd Pierce but they can still be so undisciplined at times. Large stretches of the game with just bad 1on1 play like they’re a team full of all-stars.

The Knicks had zero firepower so it didn’t matter but Philly is a very large step up.

Trae is the only one who should have the freedom to go iso. Everyone else play out of PnR, that includes Bogey.

They gotta stick to the script.

What’s wild about the Hill thing is that Danny Green has been absolutely worse than him. Even if you start Huerter, who is he covering? (Considering Hunter is still out).
