The Pi Brew
We’re back with an all new Brew. The Sixers vs Hawks in round 2 kicked off on Sunday with the Hawks getting the W. On the bright side though, Joel Embiid returned from missing one game due to a meniscus tear. There was an awesome bell ringer at the game. The WWE had another set of releases last week, with a couple surprise names on the list. All this and more, so let’s get to it – it’s Brew time.
Sixers vs. Hawks … let’s get it on

The good, the bad, the ugly from Sunday
The #Sixers got down big early and fell short of pulling off an epic comeback, despite 39 points from Joel Embiid. Here’s the good, bad and ugly from Game 1:https://t.co/Ev75XB45JY @KyleNeubeck

Well said
#Sixers woke up a little too late in this one. Not panic time for them. If they play like they did in the second half moving forward, they win the series.
