Atlanta at Philadelphia Game 7

Atlanta at Philadelphia -7

Tonight is Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Final between the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers. With the series tied at 3 and a winner take all scenario we have to look at the experience that both of these teams have. Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and Tobias Harris all have one game 7 experience (cue Kawhi shot) also in which their injured teammate Danny Green was on the other side. We also can't forget about Doc Rivers who was the Head Coach of the LA Clippers in 2015 and 2020 when they blew 3-1 series leads which they don't have to worry about this time. But Philly is the number 1 seed in the east and the pressure is on them. Atlanta's top players will be in their first game 7 which is unknown if it is a positive or not. Philly is looking to make their first Conference Finals since 2001 and Atlanta is looking to make the second Conference Finals in franchise history (2015). Even though the 76ers core lost their only Game 7 together and now they don't have Jimmy Butler I do like the have the experience of being in an intense close win or go home situation. With Philadelphia being 7 point favourites and not many of these games being close I'm going with the 76ers to win the game but Atlanta to keep it close and cover the spread.
