Hard to see Toronto losing with our starters outplaying theirs by so much.
There's a huge gap between Kawhi and Embiid.

Toronto too good defensively.

It is just night and day. It is just amazing how great this team are. If Raptors still have the team last year, they could probably fold big time.

Gasol continues to show the value of a player isn't always in a boxscore. What a goddamn player.

Have they scored in these PO yet? Lin has reached platinum certified scrub status.

Substantially. This year’s team would run last years squad in 5 if not 4. It’s a massive leap adding Kawai and Gasol.



Easily. We have an advantage in every area. The only weakness being the bench, but the strength of our starters nullifies that weakness anyways.

Dude it's just the feeling I have as a die hard fan watching these playoff games. There's this aura of confidence that we will be ok. This team is on a completely different level than last year's most specifically. We have every key piece we need - and it seems like we're starting to build a very important championship level chemistry.

I actually think the Sixers HELPED us by trading Robert Covington; statistically a top 3 wing defender.

We have been so good without og I have no idea what people are talking about. Not to mention og has been horrible all season. That combination makes me wonder wtf everyone is clamoring about. For example, we "need siakam." we don't need og.


we don't actually NEED him, you're right.

but I want him.

I wasn't concerned for a single minute of that Game. Orlando made me more nervous.

Just curious why you blame those two specifically without mentioning, Miller, meeks

I think it's odd how this fanbae attributes blame to specific players without taking into account the players around them. For the same reason, it s odd how this fan base heaps praise on players, without noting the players around them.

worried? I was more worried about the Magic than I am for the Sixers :lol:

Kawhi + home court is a problem for them. They have no room for error and they have a coach that does a bunch of them. When he put Bolden at center, like Casey would do with Bebe or Hansbrough, I knew it was over. Their starting lineup is very talented but they have a horrendous coach.

Might be recency bias, but I think this performance was more impressive then the VC one. Kawhi made it look easy at times, but overall I thought he gave 110 percent both ends of the floor. Not to mention degree of difficulty on his shots I felt was higher.

Carters was also extremely scary because he was really quiet and dialed in, Kawhi like. And he made it look even easier. Helluva talent he was.
