Need a third option, I really don't care, want their series to go 7 if possible and bring on whoever.

Raps. I hate Embiid and his clumsiness anywhere near Giannis
I prefer Giannis's elbow in Gasol's soft belly.

Kawhi scares me more than anyone on Philly.

Do you want an easier road? Yes? Answer: Philly.

Do you want the most competitive/entertaining series possible? Kawhi vs. Giannis? Answer: T Dot.

I want both. If we play hard, we can be competitive with any team right now.

Anyone who prefers Toronto likes to live life on the wild side.

Philly, but Toronto might be the easier matchup imo.

It must be Philly!

Need to destroy Boston and Philly to avenge the Bucks' teams of the 80's!

They're going through, it's not really an option. Best case scenario is the Sixers wear them out a little bit while Giannis ices his knees, a win by Philly tomorrow might make all the difference.
Putting max miles on Kawhi is important, Gasol/Ibaka aren't getting any younger and Lowry's ass is bigger than ever, they all need their rest.

I don't have a preference. With the Sixers, Giannis is Simmons' daddy. With the Raptors, Lopez has someone to guard. Bud is seemingly going to play him through the struggles. Hopefully the jumbo lineup is dead now that Brogdon is back though. That unit has so much more balance.

I do have a preference from the west. That would be the Rockets. Bucks have the key for containing Harden by forcing him hard right. Part of me just doesn't want the Bucks to play the Nuggets or Blazers, even though I think those would be easier match-ups than surely at least the Warriors. You know the national fan wouldn't care and give the team much credit for winning it, although we wouldn't either after it was in the case. Will cross the bridge when we come to it.

Either team will give us some opportunities for revenge. Toronto for the playoff series loss two years ago. Philly for the 2001 ECF.

Hey guys, Philly looks **** because Embiid is sick. He could become unsick at any point in time and then it's a totally different animal. Raps are very good but at least you know what you're getting.

Philly is a team who can click and win a few games off talent but Toronto is simply the superior team. Don't see Philly making it out.

They can beat either. TOR will be much tougher. Let’s put to rest who the best team in the league is by beating TOR.

Bucks in 6.

That's not a difficult criteria to meet.

No doubt. One game at a time for Philly. They're a **** disaster right now, but get a W tomorrow and I'm good. You never know what's going to happen in a Game 7, but a tired Raptors squad is a solid consolation.
