calm down, it's not him...JV could do what he's done and we could use Dwrights length and defense off the bench.

Embiid, 8 points.

JV could do what he has done? Not even close on D.


JV gave Embiid fits and the philly ppl were even talking abt it.

Embiid is sick or injured. it's not gasol. JV would even hit his 3's


Sit down. You don't know what the f*** your talking about.

Are you two saying we winning because of Embiid not playing well?


We're winning regardless. We're blowing them out cause embiids been doo doo tho


Yes and no. Everyone's (mostly media for me) forgetting that we're keeping the sixers fg% around 40. with the exception of the one game. We're playing proper championship ball and everyone talks of sixers players having bad games blah blah. Just to throw it out there. You don't win series shooting 40%. Fk Philly 8-)

First three foul calls against Gasol looked like total BS makeup calls.

In fact the refs looked to be making a lot of ticky-tack calls against the Raptors tonight, (game 5), but it didn't matter. Too much talent on this team when Siakam, Green and Gasol are hitting their shots, and Lowry is doing all of the little glue things to make everyone better.

JV and Delon comprise the hill you've chosen to die on? Wack.

If your loyalty lies w/ players as opposed to team, you have autonomy to desert said team and continue to support personnel in question elsewhere. Leave your visceral sentiments out of it and examine everything w/ clinical precision - some may construe that as ruthless, but it's what drove Jordan to be a champion.

Whether or not a player endeared himself to a fanbase is a tertiary/quaternary concern whereas propping a ring(s) on a table is the definitive mic drop/silencer.

Worst ever yet we're one game from advancing and just had one of the most dominant wins on the history of the franchise?

Locked. Not because it's an unpopular opinion. Everyone's entitled to those.

But if you're going to open a discussion, but not be OPEN to discussion, then there's no point.
