Wurider05 Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 As fan suggested that we start Bruno and let him rough up Embiid as he has nothing but his 6 fouls to offer the team. I laughed but the idea has kind of warmed on me a little since this morning. SEND IN THE GOONS!!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post macdaddy Posted June 14, 2021 Moderators Popular Post Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Most coaches and especially Nate just don't want to play like that anymore. It doesn't have to be for roughing up so much as actually just physically make him feel the fouls that are coming anyway. and frustrate him. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be fair, as far as NBA players go, Embiid is a good dude. I wish him no ill, I just want us to win. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted June 14, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 I want no part of playing to injure Embiid. At the same time, if we are going to get called for touch fouls then you might as well step it up and make them count since you are paying the price anyway. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play very hard but not dirty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I'm a tad concerned about how long it takes for the Hawks to make adjustments. I understand not making panic moves out of desperation, but the Hawks need to show something different tonight on both ends. This is the 4th game, so they shouldn't be surprised by anything the 76ers come with. The Hawks need to get back to the focus and discipline they had against the Knicks and the first 3 quarters of Game 1 against Philly. They haven't been the same since that 4th quarter. There's losing to the better team and then there's losing because you're flustered on offense and late on defense. The 76ers are the better team, but that doesn't make them unbeatable. Game 1 is evidence of that. If the Hawks can get out of their own way, this can still be a series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
