PG: KAWHI BRINGS WINTER TO HOUSE SIXERS

[Scott Hall]

That old guy annoyed me ever since he got into it with Lowry in Philly. Now he gets to go back home and rest up until next year!

I didn't realize Uncle Dennis was sitting just a few seats beside that old annoying Sixers fan. You can see the old man
turn around in shambles when it goes in then Uncle Dennis starts jumping up and down like an 8 year old lol

There are so many things to look for as that shots going in... the players reactions, crowd reaction, the old sixers fan, uncle dennis jumping around, joel with his hands on his head as he realizes what's happened, Tobias hanging around as the rest of his teammates are walking off thinking there'll be a review, kyle grabbing the game ball as he goes over to swarm kawhi, gasol hands up walking away. I watched it atleast 10 more times this morning as I got in to work. Amazing time to be a raps fan.

Yeah it's one of those shots where you can watch it 100 times and pick up something new. I wonder what Lowry
did with the ball? It would be cool if it ends up in the NBA HOF

Siakam's taking some heat for this game, but still tied for a game high in rebounds (11) & Steals (2), and still had 11 points on 11 FG (the only starter on the raps other than Kawhi with as many points as shots). He was afraid to shoot (I'll admit it), but still took the 5th most shots of any player on either team (more than Harris, JJ, and Simmons).

Not a great game for him, but he still found a way to bring it even when he wasn't confident in his scoring.

I'll be interested to see what happens in this series, now that he's hopefully more healthy. Embiid was a tough matchup. As we saw from Kawhi, the way to score on Embiid in ISO is the ability to get him moving, then pull-up in the midrange, or to shoot open 3's from above the break. Those are probably the two worst parts of Pascal's game, and they did a great job of forcing him into those.

If he's guarded by Giannis, it will be tough, but at least Giannis doesn't have the weight and strength of a guy like Embiid- when you fly to the rim, you won't bounce off of him like Embiid. I think Pascal should dominate Mirotic or Lopez if they try that though.

While we’re still on topic before the next series and this is all forgotten, I actually find Embiid crying...weird. I don’t feel sorry or bad for him, nor do I get any satisfaction out of seeing it. It was just weird to me. Maybe there is some other story behind it. This was just the second round, dude needs to get tougher if he’s crying over this. If this was the finals I’d understand. But again, maybe there is some other context behind it we haven’t heard.

Ill give him that, he made some boneheaded decisions on D over the whole series but in the most important moment, he made the right one and i couldnt be more happy. When Butler was going for that layup at the end of the game, Siakam had Redick in the corner and i was SCREAMING at my tv "dont leave Redick, give up the two!!!" and he did You know if he jumps into the lane Butler is just gonna pass to Redick in the corner and our season is over... Good job Pascal!

Incredible moment. Canadian heritage moment for sure.

[Dennis 37]

My reaction to the shot was laughter. Didn't cheer, just laughed. It was odd.

[kalel123]

Those bounces were like slowmo and my emotion was changing in waves after each bounce. Damn. Probably going to be one of the most remembered shot in Raptors history for a very long time.

Coincidentally, Sixers could be sent home tonight.

[ghettobplayer]

I have a mark on my ceiling where the beam was..I jumped so high when he made that shot I had hit my head and left a mark on the ceiling, I'm never fixing it.

dont forget Siakam's role in freeing up Kawhi to get the pass from Gasol

I've got 2 kids and live in a different time zone.

I was putting my kids to bed - while PVRing the game - and my phone blew up. Now, I'm one of THOSE guys who avoids all contact until I can watch the game. I knew something BIG had happened, but still didn't check my texts until I got through the entire game. The moment was a little ruined, but still amazing!

Happy leather anniversary to this gem!

Man, I did an amazing job doing this on the Raps elimination game two weeks ago, but walked into fat Bastard Burrito at midnight, glanced up at cp24 out of habit and saw the score. No memorable plays at least and I saved 2 hours of my time

Mathematical odds the Sixers get 4 bounces tonight?

[v1n5anity]

As long as Kyle is out, the Heat have a chance to eliminate the Sixers.

[plainballing]

I still remember the entire family was in watching this with me and we were all YELLING after the 4th bounce.

[6ixset]

And the 6ers get eliminated again on the same day.
