Wild shit happens in game 7s. Some random role player like Ben Simmons might hit a three.

*Somewhere deep in the bowels of Wells Fargo Arena, the Impractical Jokers are sitting in front of a monitor. Sal has successfully infiltrated the ranks of the NBA referees and has been assigned to game 7 of Sixers-Hawks.*

Jokers, over earpiece: “Okay, now blow your whistle for no reason.”

Sal: *blows whistle for no reason*

Jokers: *laughing hysterically*

League suspended Fernando because they know it's game over for Philly if Fernando sees minutes.

Simmons going to chuck a 3 when Hawks try to foul him, only for it to go in. Game-winning 4 point play.

These refs are so bad, Bogi literally tried to foul Embiid there and they refused to call it. This is not a pretty game

Alright hawks, let's see if you can make this the weirdest post-season in league history. I don't really have a horse in this race, I'm just here for the chaos.

Bogdanovic even put his hand up to signal he fouled and Embiid still didn’t get the call on that dunk, really weird

Lol the difference in officiating between the other east series is huge. This refball shit it just terrible, the energy of the entire series has been who can flop more

Just looked at Kevin Huerter's Wikipedia page and it's listed that he's the owner of the Philadelphia 76ers lol.

The last time I was in Atlanta for a show in 09', the house we were staying at had a half naked man in a sleeveless Harley shirt jump into a collection of trash cans before he was chased down the street by APD.

I wish you the best, Hawks. Your city is a magical place.

seeing as Bogdan was TRYING to foul embiid and they didn't call it i have no more hope for the officiating this game.

I love that Simmons looked at the last 3 games and thought "yes, this is exactly how i should play and i will continue to do so"

Trae is 1-11 and the hawks are still up 2. That should be really concerning for philly fans.

So Trez went out in the first round, Doc choked another series where his team had legit championship aspirations, was the higher seed, and the more talented squad while Lou Williams made it to the conference finals by beating Doc and the Clippers finally made it to their first WCF the year after he got fired. You can’t make this shit up lol.
