    I dont know how Embid doesn’t catch flack for how he draws fouls. People only ever talk about Trae or Harden.

    cute effort by Atlanta in this game, but Embiid wasn’t having it

    Ben Simmons with a smooth 4 points tonight…lmao

    Embiid and Harris will never match the offensive output of KD, Harden, and Kyrie

    That is a strong take. I don't think they could match the output of Nets even if Harden does not play. It feels crazy to say this but the Nets greatest strength is their bench. Mike James, Bruce Brown, and Nick Claxton are putting in work.

    Sean Marks doesn’t miss…he’s killed it with pretty much every pick up…only bad move I can see lately is the DJ contract, but that was part of the deal with KD and Kyrie, so it is what it is

    Sean Marks pulling up from halfcourt with the swish

    Ben Simmons actually locked up Trae all game. I don’t get the slander here, would still take him over those garbage picks we got

    I did not get a chance to watch the game, but looking at the box score it seems like this could have easily have been a Philly loss if Joel goes for 30 instead of 40 and if Curry had 14 instead of 21. All that to say the Hawks underperformed and the SIxers overachieved. If the Hawks defend home court the Sixers could be in trouble.

    Big loss for Atl. Philly is playing with fire with Embiid out there. But I guess it's a tough choice at this point. And no way is embiid wanting to sit

    It may go 6. I don't see ATL having any real chance.
