I'm not going to defend Bud as I think he made plenty of mistakes, but I trust Tucker to stay in front of Durant more than Giannis. Giannis is a great team defender, but Tucker is better individually. I've never seen anyone bump and bang with Durant the way Tucker did in this series. Durant's greatness got him a lot of points, but nothing came easy. Knowing that Durant was going to shoot from the arc, you might have put Giannis on him, but to me it's a tough call.

Bad news for the Hawks. Bruno Fernando will miss game 7 tonight after being suspended by the League. Not sure how the Hawks can overcome this setback.

There goes the 5 center lineup that Nate McMillen had in his back pocket.

Trae Young is 1-14 and the Hawks are still in the game?

Embiid needs to wake up on defense if he wants this. Hes looking like KAT out there.

This hasn't exactly been a beautiful offensive game for either team. Huerter has been really good for Atlanta which has helped them.

Looks like this one will go down to the wire. Maybe it's just me, but this game hasn't been as fun to watch as the Suns-Clippers game earlier today.

No it hasn't. I think there has been a little better D but espcially with Young struggling the perimeter players aren't as dynamic as what we saw from Booker and George.

Embiid isn't particularly good when he puts the ball on the floor.

Embiid is clearly the best player on the Sixers. But is Simmons really the second best? I'd say that Harris is their second-best player, at least in the playoffs.
