We went into the Redmont Zone with Charles Barkley on Dukes & Bell and talked about the round two of the playoffs and is the Hawks-Sixers series a pick’em if Joel Embiid doesn’t play?
Barkley talked about with or without Embiid the Hawks have a chance.
“Without Joel Embiid that’s a pick’em,” Barkley said “Shaq came out last night and said Hawks in five, and I said what? He said Well it depends on of Embiid plays, I said ok.”
“But let me tell you something, I don’t think he’s going to be 100 percent, I’ve had a meniscus before and he’s a big guy and so I’m worried about him. But I’m telling you Hawks got a chance if there’s no Embiid, let me re-phrase that with a hobbled Embiid they still got a chance.”
