Official Game Thread: 76ers at Hawks

[Guest]

Bawb just mentioned that Fred Hickman passed away.  He was on CNN back in the day along with a guy named Nick (?).  Great duo.  
Fred and Craig Sager would always come to events I staged when I was head of fundraising for Boys & Girls Clubs of Atlanta.  They talk to the kids, very intently, not just quick hellos.  Sign autographs for hours, give them lots of swag, and even followed up with some of them over the years as quasi-mentors.  Great guys.

Is that right what Bob said?

Our opponents have MADE more FTs than the Hawks have ATTEMPTED?

That's crazy.

Yep...every game I've made a post about the freethrows...teams make more than we attempt.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

The refs must've got the memo that Trae didn't get to the line at all last night.  They're making up for it already in the 1st quarter.

Damn what’s Traes career high for FT attempts?  He might surpass that tonight.

[NBASupes]

Trae is playing exceptionally well today. Even his defense is solid today

All legitimate fouls.

His career high in makes is 18.  But I think he's attempted 20 in a game once or twice.

[JayBirdHawk]

Trae hitting the exact same floaters he missed last game. He gets in the paint so easily that floater is always available.

Yep good 1st qtr from him..

[REHawksFan]

Hey look Trae doesn’t suck anymore. Go figure. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

What a pass by Dejounte.  JJ just couldn't finish it.

[JayBirdHawk]

Lol Murray.

[benhillboy]

OO just insist on wearing them damn blue man group shoes.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Hawks lack of 3 point shooting is keeping this game much closer than what it needs to be.

[JayBirdHawk]

Put in AJ...missing wide open 3s.

Holidaze sucks.

It just makes evry game harder than it needs to be. Can't pull away.

Yep 0/6 from 3

[NBASupes]

Man, we go through scoring lulls too much

[TheNorthCydeRises]

2 great stops.  Nothing on the offensive end.

Make that 3 great stops.

Still nothing on the other end for the 3rd time.

 

And Philly scores on the 4th possession.

Hawks only up by 4.

 

Play your shooter Nate. 

It's not his fault that he's young, but might be the best reserve you got right now.
