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

[DJ Fieri]

Danny Green used to be $.

Not sure what happened.

You missed his reg season I take it?

 

[Darth Dawkins]

Danny Green and his 1-8 was who they decided should take the shot...lol.

In fairness he was pretty money all season. Just a weird game for the Raps, only KL seemed to show. Haven't seen them shoot that bad all year. But props to the Sixers, they didn't play very well either and they gutted out a big win.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

I agree.

Wait... I thought you were happy with your roster and we should be worried about our guys who can’t even play cause they are always hurt. Remember that?

 

[Four4Four]

that was crazy intense. The bad thing for my nerves is, there will at least 3 more games like this.

Neither team shot particularly well. Both teams played good D though.

Look forward to hearing @WiggyRuss tell us how Butler didn't do much tonight.

I'm not the only one?

So funny when the rap haters come out only when they are losing.

Raptors haters? That's a thing?

Apparently that was the first time that Kawhi has actually lost to the Sixers in a game he's played in.

Sixers!

Yes, 14-0 all time vs sixers, raptors had a 14 game winning streak in Toronto over sixers, #14 for the raptors missed the open shot danny green wears #14, 14 game losing streaks usually end there.


Denver had a 14 game losing streak in San Antonio until they won game 4. Suns had a 14 game losing streak in golden state until they won in golden state to end the 14 game drought earlier this season lol

 

[Sparhawk]

Interesting response from the Sixers.
Brown coaching for next season.
Jimmy playing for next season.

Toronto most likely not as good as game 1 and not as bad as game 2. Sixers need more efficient offense.

Embiid was essentially a no show tonight. Had some good, and not so good, defensive moments. His only real offensive contribution was late in the 4th with the pass to Jimmy and the late bucket.

Hopefully he won't need an IV before the game on Thursday.

Hopefully Simmons ups his aggression levels in Game 3. He was solid defensively and really helped the rest of the defense hunker down but offensively he was in and out.

Harris had an off shooting night but I doubt he will have another one on Thursday.

Hopefully Scott is back for Thursday as well.

And this is exhibit #5438 in the 'why hot takes after game 1 of a series are dumb"

Every playoffs, same thing. Houston might win tomorrow, and all the "Ws got this in 5" idiots will shut up. Or maybe Houston loses, and we get the "Ws sweep!" takes. SMH

Hey man.

I said Dubs in 5 before the series started. Hope you aren't lumping me in with that crap.

Also, after watching this game, Philly defended better than I have seen them all year. This is the effort they need to have a chance in a series against a good team.

Still came away from game 2 thinking Toronto looks like the better team though. We shall see how it plays out.

Raptors in 6

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Raptors haters? That's a thing?

Raptor fans have the weirdest chip on their shoulder thing for some reason. It's dumb.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Yeah Lowry is shriveling.


They need to get rid of that Lowry contract to compete for a ship unless he starts stepping up more consistently

What, we're not gonna win with this kind of leedership and affort?

The Raptors may win this series in 5 but so far only 2 guys on the Raptors have even shown up. And the Sixers bench has absolutely dominated the Raptors bench so far.

It will be interesting to see how each team comes out on Thursday in Philly.
