That’s not at all what I’m saying. Daeve complains every single Denver/Atlanta game about the refs it’s so tiring and old.

Only 4 turnovers probably the only reason it was close enough to steal

You don’t want consistency you want one sided calls for the Hawks and Nuggets. It’s constant during every game

As much as Embiid draws fouls, exaggerates contact, and even flops, teams beat on him quite a bit.

...

Philly all kinds of out of sorts at the end of this game. Props to Atlanta for the rally in the second half. Onto game 5.

shake shoulda shot he was roastin em

[Onepocketj]

Embiid was horrible in the second half.

[PKIPP]

Trae did his best to shoot his team out of this game but Philly said “hold my beer”.

Essentially playing 3 on 5 on offense in that second half with Embiid going 0fer and Simmons usual beta mode

no it isn't - in my same post about Jokic I also mentioned the Nets committing two on the Bucks with no calls. quote it next time so you know what your talking about

[jcardstore]

Games like this just reinforce the idea that Simmons will never be a true superstar. What a sad excuse for a 2nd half

Get over yourself, you’re the biggest officiating complainer on these boards.

[Jopeal]

25 & 18 for Trae. +7 in a must win game.

Philly has his number...

[BeastMode27]

Yes that was a disgusting game. If Curry, Fu***n Korkmaz, and Shake weren’t making their shots it would be bad. ATL couldn’t make anything inside or outside the entire first half. Not even free throws. Going to be a blast the next couple games. All in good fun Philly fans! Feel like Lou Brown in major league 2 every time the Hawks get close in a game.

[RichardGasner]

All I know, is that the team that everybody said will get swept, has now tied it up! Let’s go Atlanta!

[Campbelljh3]

18 dimes for Trae, well played hawks!

Yup! Huge

[daeve]

Good win considering Hawks shot only 30% from 3. I still think they have a game this series where they catch fire from deep - so I think this is going 7

[bkcardcollector]

so conley coming back next game too early? and mitchell and conley wounded going into game 6.... on the road... i dunno jazz... idunno..

Funny part about it is that i have a lot more value tied up in the success of Trae than I do Giannis and Simmons…if you count 2018 wax, which I do.

Only scenario in the East that doesnt pay off for me is the Nets, which unfortunately is still decently likely, but also priced in.

100%. He needed to step up in the second half and disappeared. Embiid was struggling and needed Simmons to do more, and he did less.

Yeah, I don’t care man. If you are smart enough in cards you will always make money, which you are. Just gotta give you crap because someone has to!! I care less about card money and more about the glory. Not selling my Trae’s. Want ATL to be the east coast Warriors!

Trae didn't score that quarter. Bogdan has been their whole offense.

I'll take the 8 point, 11 rebound, 7 assist, 0 turnover half by Simmons, while helping to hold Trae to 25% shooting.

Atlanta needs to figure something out quick.

Going to bump this. Keep betting against the Hawks at your own peril.
