Refs doing a lot of letting them play right now.

Sheeeeesh Dwight, that rim has a family.
Bogdonovic limping off.
1st quarter rebounds:
Simmons - 8
Embiid - 9
Embiid is in the locker room receiving medical attention, Elton Brand went back to check on him.
Whomp.
Embiid back in the locker room getting work. Now, I will say, he's gotten it in Philly too but the Sixers have extra player space still set up that Atlanta doesn't, meaning to have space for anything, they have to go to the locker room.
Just commented, but the bench setup is completely different in the two cities. Embiid did the same thing Friday too.Quote:

Basically at the start of the 2nd quarter of every game, Embiid has been getting heat and a rub down on that knee and some other attention. In Philly, they have the baseline on the bench sides open in the area the hockey rink would normally be at creating a ton of extra space. Atlanta has fans in the area that Philly has cleared out so just that normal work needs to happen some where else.Quote:

Seth Curry hit Trae Young with the "too small" lol
Wow Atlanta got a ****ing GIFT.
I feel the same way outta the 2nd half lolQuote:

Ok with the Flagrant 1 there, but kinda glad Simmons did it.
Just so many defensive miscommunications right now trying to hide Korkmaz defensively.
Capela just straight up pushed Embiid to the ground on a rebound with no call.
Embiid just told the ATL fans "shut the **** up" lol
joel literally got crosschecked and hit to the floor and refs were right there... so because they made last game a foul fest for both teams they are just letting embiid get killed this game? the logic is ****ing horrid
Shake is heating up.
Whenever Shake gets hot the bench unit is so much better.
Sixers let these dudes hang around too long.
So Embiid fouled twice, Huerter possibly OB (based on Docs reaction), and no calls.
Embiid has 21 rebounds. Dear lord.
But he's killing us offensively.
Oh Jesus really?
Worse than his offense he is killing the team with his attitude.Quote:

Been terrible in the 2nd half.Quote:

Trae Young should really just shave his head.

Embiid only went to the line 4 times, his lowest total of the post season so far.
76ers gave that game away. But Trae found a way to impact the game when his shot was off.
8 times.Quote:
