Also, anyone have predictions for tonight? Living in Philly, I’ve come to enjoy their team just from being close to the action. But I feel like Young could absolutely just go off tonight and I don’t know if the 76ers will be able to match that.
ATL needs Bogdanovic, game-time decision last i heard. Without him and Hunter, they're pretty undermanned.

Embiid bitching about that offensive foul was exquisite. Just trucked Collins then tried to argue it wasn’t a foul because he was in the restricted area (he wasn’t) even though it was off-ball (rendering that irrelevant).

This entire game has been bitching about fouls

Trae being t’d up and rescinding the foul on Simmons is some next level nba fuckery

Trae can't hit anything right now. Hope Huerter can keep up the hot shooting.

I’m super surprised Trae has been so bad. I figured he’d put on a show. But considering they are leading with very little from him, Atlanta should be in good shape if he just plays a little better in the second half.

So either Trae continues to throw up bricks and the Hawks likely lose, and the critics say, man, what a choke job by a superstar in a game 7... or he gets it going and the Hawks win as he heats up and buries the Sixers.

Announcers treating every made Simmons FGA like a game winner
That is ex minor league catcher Brian Anderson and he gets excited at reviews. I like this booth personally. Jim Jackson is understated and Anderson is about as straight down the middle as PBP people come.

Trae 1-14 with 18 minutes left and the game is tied, with the Hawks shooting 39/25% and only 5 made threes.

Young needs to heat up

I'm rooting for Atlanta, but I think that Flagrant foul call sucks
Howard has had a history of that kind of foul his whole career.. look at what he's doing with his arms and look at where he's looking. He knows what he's doing... he's riding the back of the offensive player and purposefully brings both his arms down onto his body and head.. the additional shove was just icing. He's been bringing his arm down on heads/bodies his whole career while pretending he's done it unintentionally.
