The Hawks right now are enjoying the role of being the underdog. I'm not sure that's a good thing for the rest of the East. The Hawks went into New York and beat them rather handily and took care of business in Atlanta easily. This is a very similar situation now heading to Philly. The Philly fans are far worse then the Knicks fans, that I know. Trey Young has the Hawks playing rather fast and the 76ers without Embiid will struggle. Capela is playing well right now and the Hawks just brought back Hunter to the mix. Add in Gallinari and Huerter and the Hawks got 3 guys now that are legit off the bench. Plus, Young, Bogdanovic, Collins and others are playing well. Philly at some point will feel the clamps and I wonder how they will react. I don't think they will react well. I don't believe this is a day to day type of injury for Embiid. I think he might not play again this season. If Philly looks flat in this game, it's because they know they are without Embiid for the playoffs and they will lose this series. We can only speculate with Embiid, but i think the Hawks win this series. I will sprinkle a little bit on the ML with the Hawks for this game as well.
