At what point do say Trae give me 48 mins. That second unit was terrible at stretches
Someone has to step up Sunday. I don’t think we win but it would be nice if Trae wasn’t out there by himself.

If Bogdanovic can't go Sunday, you think the Hawks suit up Reddish and let him get some time?
Not have Dre and Cam catching up. Esp Dre
Dell raised some bad boys

Absolutely not. Barring something unforeseen with his health it would be crazy to ask him to come off an Achilles injury, not have played for a few months and his first game back is a Game 7 playoff game. Just seems unfair to Cam and short sighted for his long term health

Well, he's been cleared by the medical staff and I'm not talking big minutes. Just maybe some time in the first half with the second team. See how he does and make a decision from there.
If Bogdanovic doesn't play, who starts in his place? They start Hill again with Huerter? Do they start Gallanari?

Nah it’s too big of a game for us to risk it if he’s rusty

I just don’t think that would be a smart decision. He hasn’t done any live work (5 on 5) with the team since being “cleared” so I think it would be really short sighted and foolish to play him given the circumstances
If Bogi doesn’t go I’d start Gallo

I don’t think it would be short sided at all. He has to get done game time otherwise what was the point of rehabbing to get back to play? They might as well just sit him down for the season.
I’m not saying he should play major minutes, but giving him 5 minutes in the first half to see how he moves should be a no brainier. Maybe he plays some good defense and scores 4 points? Okay, now you see how he moves and you see how you can utilize him in a minute’s capacity in the second half. If he doesn’t look good then you sit him for the second half. No biggie.
Nate played 9 players last night. At least one player is going to get suspended for leaving the bench in that Embiid/Collins scuffle. I’m not sure who it was, but If it was a rotational player AND Bogdanovic can’t go then you’re down to 7 players. The Hawks may not have a choice but to pay him.

Rusty Cam > tired Huerter
Rusty Cam > cold Snell
Rusty Cam > Soldonis Haslem
even 10 minutes where he takes 3 minutes each away from those 3 liabilities(Huerter when he's fresh is a different player) might make a difference off his defense alone
Offensively.... just use him like Philly supposed to use Ben and he'll be fine

Bro, he hasn’t played a 5 on 5 in practice since January and you think it would be a reasonable decision to run him major minutes in a Game 7? Cmon man, being cleared to participate and being physically/mentally ready to play an NBA game are two different things. It would be a terrible decision to put him back in for one game…I know we need help and we want to win but we gotta think long term and in the best interest of the player, especially with a guy we have so much invested in.
BTW, if I’m bringing a player back from this kind of injury, why would I bring him back for 3 minutes? 5 minutes? What realistic expectations would you have for him during that time on the floor? Just wouldn’t be a smart move IMO
