[ATLHawks3]

If we hit our freethrows we win this game... Get ready for Game 7.

[JayBirdHawk]

The big difference is that team was a veteran elite team with plenty of playoff experience and expected to be competing on that stage; but THIS is a brand new extremely young team without a lick of playoff experience until now and they weren't even supposed to be here yet. This is ALL gravy. 

Not to mention even IF we lose this series, acknowledging the above, we would wind up taking the number 1 seed to 7 games WITHOUT our 2nd best player for the entire series. 

True, but this one hurts. They had this game and let it slip away. ATL sports is always like this. 

[aali34]

On to Philly.

Anything can still happen...

Dammit

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Gutty win by the Sixers.

Hawks definitely let one get away.  Missed FTs.  Cold shooting.  Got killed on the boards.   Nate trusting the bench a little too long.

 

Oh well.   Nothing easy for this team.   We will see you on Sunday.

Trae .. . 5 - 15 FG in the 2nd half.   Only 3 assist.

STuck on 11 for the longest.

He tried but I think he was gassed. He looked gassed at the end of the 1st half. Plus his back was hurting carrying the team.

Here comes Solo for game 7 if Bogi can't go.

[Thomas]

We have played 11 games postseason and we have yet to have a complete game. One more shot at it for the ECF guys. 

[NBASupes]

The role players outside of Gallo was ass in the 4th

Some good fight in this series, but it ends with Hawks being the Hawks. Still better than getting swept.

This. And if we could have just got one more person making some buckets during the game. But it is what it is. We played well enough defensively to win this game, offense let us down in the closeout attempt. We'll learn from this and be better, either this year or next. 

[BrazilianHawk]

Welp. Back to Philly I guess.

 

No worries. We have won more than they did in their building. 

Nate better do something about Curry next game.

Potentially without Bogi

This is the 2nd game he's cost the Hawks.

This one sucks.  Needed to hit our freethrows.  Trae showed up. Kev semi showed up. Bogi was injured? Gallo showed up. 

We need all hands on deck for game seven.  

It's confirmed that Trae is a superstar, but he can't do it by himself.  At least need two others to show up for the full game on Sunday. 

[bleachkit]

We havent shot the ball well all series, I dont expect that to change in Sunday. 

[Atlantaholic]

Man, why can't we hit the shots we have been hitting all year long? Suppose it's the fatigue factor of what has turned out to be a grueling series.  This game was the most physical NBA game I've seen in a while, not sure what the team will have left for game 7. Philly will have the adrenaline from the crowd, and will be chomping at the bit for redemption. I give us a 25% to pull it out,

[Spud2nique]

Tough one but we aren’t done. Trae isn’t done. We are the better team and will show it on Sunday.
