Series Thread: 4) Philadelphia 76ers vs. 5) Toronto Raptors

Gonna be tough for the Sixers to win in the Six again. Game 7 should be interesting especially if the Raps get FVV back.

No Van Vleet either?

They’ve been better without him. He was banged up and playing pretty shitty despite still chucking a ton of shots.

Minus 10 in 6 Paul Reed minutes

Good game tonight.

What a defensive effort

These 6'9 guys can get it done it seems


1 win at a time

 

[fightinfunbags]

Minus 10 in 6 Paul Reed minutes

It looks like it’s him but the issues were the offense and the way it was run with Embiid out (and with Embiid in only slightly better)

 

[Darth Dawkins]

Good game tonight.

It was, I kept expecting the Sixers to go on a run and it just never really happened.

Precious was fantastic tonight ss well. He is developing nicely moving forward

They brought no energy and no fire. The Sixers are Joel Embiid. When he’s a dominant MVP candidate they can be pretty good. When he’s not, they’re a mediocre team. Raptors contested every inch of the floor tonight and out played them. I’m in the camp that no FVV actually helps you because of how they played without him while they tried to get him to the playoffs. He was shooting you out of games in game 1 and 2. And somebody must have woken up Siakam after his 2nd half of Game 3. He’s been great since then.

He lit Embiid up on like 4 of 5 successive Raptors possessions when Sixers were desperate for stops. He’s had a nice series.

1st shot of the night from him was a mid range jumper about 7-8 feet. It went down. He didn’t take that shot again tonight and it wasn’t like they took it away. If you can’t get by guys anymore you have to pull the fly by and hit midrange shots. CP3 has aged much more gracefully with his speed and even he has added that to his game. Harden should already have it in his bag.

 

[Darth Dawkins]

Meh, Raps D showed up finally.

 

[Iggloo]

Doc to the Lakers? Keep hope alive!

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

37% better than that guy in Brooklyn…

Gutless performance by the Sixers
But that is not surprising
For a couple of years they have had a non-existent killer instinct

 

[trojanfan12]

I’m sure there’s nothing to this. It absolutely has nothing to do with the league hating Embiid. That’s preposterous.

Embiid should try being less of a dick.

 

[trojanfan12]

When your team is mentally soft...

Thought getting rid of Simmons was supposed to fix all that?
