ATL - PLAYOFFS

[Pachinko_]

Gary Trent Jr since he came back from injury in Jan has been averaging 20 points on 16 shots, but in this series he just fell off a cliff completely. If that's who he is then that's $17m a year not well spent for the Raps, and they'll be an easy out this series.

Tyrese Maxey’s really having a good time out there tonight.

Actually I just heard he's ill

Nurse is going to get thrown out in this one.

Officiating is a joke

Toronto is playing some weird defense on Harden, not sure why they’re helping off shooters on Harden so much. He’s a passer at this point of his career, dare him to beat you from 2.

It's frustrating watching all these FTs but the Raps are playing **** D and fouling a lot :S

Toronto's patented "foul everywhere, often" defense doesn't work against Philly's "flop everywhere, often" offense. Perfect first opponent for Philly's bull.

FVV wut

This was always going to be the Raps' Achilles heel going into the playoffs: they just don't have enough points in them to compete with the top teams. Philly especially is a bad matchup for them. There's nobody who can match-up well with Embiid. They're giving up stupidly deep position to him and some pretty open lanes to the basket then fouling the **** out of him when he powers in.

I think fvv should shoot more. Maybe he can get up 40 shots.

He really hasn't had great games against the raptors this year surprisingly... The raptors Achilles heel is that they aren't very good.

If Giannis got this Philly whistle…

[greekbuck34]

The raptors are severely outsized. Almost every bucket from the sixers comes from a big against a way smaller guy.

No matter how hard and tough your defense is you can't beat size.

They can't double team too much as well because the Sixers actually hit the corner 3s in these two games.

23 free throws to 7 is crazy.
