Series Thread: 2nd Round: Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia Sixers

[bksballer89]

I would really love to see the Raptors make quick work of them in 5 short games but my guess this is a 7 game series that Toronto will win

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Sixers in 7 I guess.

I don't like neither team. I couldn't care less.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Does Allen Iverson still play for Philly? No? Raps in 7.

So why are you in this thread?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Could be a really good series.

Raptors in 6.

I honestly have no idea what is going to happen in this series.

I could absolutely see either team win in 5 or the series go 7.

Raps in 5

I like Toronto in this one as I said before the playoffs began... Toronto has the potential to play some of the best defense in the NBA, and Boston (last season) showed the template on how a very good defensive team can give the 76ers fits.

Even with the changes that Philly has made, I think the blueprint to beating them is still essentially the same. Guys like Simmons and Reddick can be game-planned for... Embiid being hurt doesn't help, he's the one difference maker on the team, IMO... but he's hurting.

Agreed. Embiid's injury is going to be a difference maker in this series. They are going to need him down in the paint & probably can't afford for him to miss any games.

Philly in 7. Not even very sure about it. Going with my gut.

I don't like your gut

 

[CitySushi]

Raptors in 6. The addition of Marc Gasol will help tremendously in guarding Embiid in the post. Going to be a really tough series and I think it'll be all a bunch of close games.

Embiid is average 25 points in 25 minutes a game. With 14 rebounds and 3 blks.

So all Raptors and Celtics fans see the Raptors winning? I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I say!

Embiid is average 25 points in 25 minutes a game. With 14 rebounds and 3 blks.

Which is why I think they will need him in every game.

Pau on defense??? Guarding Embiid??? You're joking, right??
