Atlanta Hawks @ Philadelphia 76ers - Game 5

The Sixers beat themselves with the lackluster effort in game 4. They are the better team in this series and its not really close.

The Sixers defense can control Trae enough to put the pressure on the rest of the Hawks to carry the team.

Back home where the 76ers thrive after that collapse Monday night and I see the Sixers coming out with a renewed sense of urgency.

Better defense, Home cooking, coming off an embarrassing performance seen by the nation, along with the public now questioning Philadelphia’s heart and I see a recipe for a quality effort.

Philadelphia 76ers -6 1/2. **LARGE**

If Philadelphia can’t cover this I will take my winnings and pack it in for the summer 

The right play..... Finally bookmaker posted the line so I can indulge in it...

Just in case they don’t cover, what’s your leans for NFL week one big bro 

@ToddC

 The NFL isn’t even on my radar yet Todd

lol you don’t got just a little initial lean ? I understand it’s still months away 

@ToddC

 My off-season plans include hanging out in Ocean City on the beach among other things.

Won’t even start to look at Football until August 

Tough game. 7 points is a lot to cover deep in the playoffs. But, wishing you BOL and a convincing victory. Would prefer gents with clean record to maintain and post picks for comparison purposes. Already lost Rod, a solid gent.

Wish you the best as always EB 

Maybe but guarantee the nba will let Atlanta win the series... lmao scripted.  More blacks in Atlanta and BLMs now for media so...

@EastsideBangers

If you’re going on the beach, let me know if you need someone to apply sun screen... 

What in the actual fuck goes through people’s head... it’s actually quite astonishing.

@RonBergundy

 I hope you are kidding about the sunscreen

@EastsideBangers

 Been to OC a few times ...thrashers fries, mini golf, paintball, Seacrets and more.

Appreciate all your work with the various forums

@Bet4realpost #9 . . . . wtf does that ridiculous comment have anything to do with the NBA playoffs?

@RonBergundy  

mah brother you're not going anywhere until the playoffs are done or I'm telling mother 

Hahaha….Mac.  

EB - any concerns with Jojo’s health?  I know you’re a Philly guy and maybe have some local scoop.  He’s been hitting the deck quite a bit.   

GL  Braddah.

@umgmu

I never joke about helping the homies...

Just kidding 80% of the shit I post in ESB has some sort of “homie love” for the dude. He has made me nice coin... got a new set of irons cause of him... so the least I could do is apply some sunblock for him....

First of all... that's ridiculous 

Secondly, Philly is a much larger city than Atlanta and the BLM protests in Philly, NY, Chicago, etc. were much bigger than anything in Georgia if we're going to go by anything remotely factual.

Just tell us you're a racist POS and don't like black people already... quit skirting around it.

If the NBA was scripting games, they would keep the biggest markets alive in NY and LA. The Knicks making it to round 2 as well as Lebron staying alive is way better for ratings than "scripting" Atlanta to do anything. A Phoenix vs Atlanta Finals would be the league's worst nightmare.

@EastsideBangers

 You definitely either dont have testicular fortitude, lack cojones or just a little girl behind your keyboard. Because like damn how many times you going to cry that you going to pack it in to only come back posting plays.

bunch of drama queens i see on here 

@ToddC

 Are you that bored u talking about football in june.

go find a girlfriend and hangout with her until then.

@Wrecking_Force

Bro I mean this with all due respect but get fucked. Stop being a spineless cow. 

@GamblinDAWG

 Nah then it'd be too obvious to people such as yourself 

I think Embiid being gimpy was the only reason Atlanta won. And the dude still had over 20 boards. I think Philly is just too physical for Atlanta.

I'm thinking 1st half. After the way they played in the 2nd half yesterday, Doc Rivers is going to light a fire under their ass's. I'm figuring Embiid plays like a beast and the 76er's lead by double digits at the half.

Good Luck
