Eastern Conference | Round 1 | (4) Philadelphia 76ers vs. (5) Toronto Raptors (PHI 3-2)

[LBJKB24MJ23]

Raps in 4 (straight, after their two losses)

[C_Money]

The reffing should be slightly less biased the next 2 games because of the fan pressure. The boo birds will be quick to come out if there’s any f*ckery going on.

Another prove of how hard Sixers are getting the advantage by the refs

Read on Twitter

I understand people don't like the style, but please can we stop the whining for just a bit? Most of the calls are legit calls, pretty obvious fouls to me.

Nurse basically confirmed that directly to Embiid last night. the only people that seem to be having a problem understanding this are Raptors fans.

Well that's not true.. I think people are missing the point, MOST of the people complaining don't give a **** about the calls embiid is getting. its about the calls toronto is NOT getting. There has been nothing consistent about how the games have been called. That's not whining, its just about getting the same call for both sides. We know we are fouling embiid.
As for fouling harden, I dunno anymore. He does his rip through and flops so its hard to tell whats real or not with him

What lol plenty of people are complaining about Embiid.

In terms of the raptors they are averaging like 2 fewer free throws than they did during the year in games that average 8 fewer possessions than they did during the year.

In terms of “the same fouls on both sides” no one on the raptors plays like Embiid or Harden so I’m not sure how that makes sense. Tell Siakam to try to back Embiid down the way Embiid does on him and see how effective it is. Not because the refs like Embiid more but because of basic physics.

Your team built its roster without a center and so Embiid is going against guys that give up 50 pounds on him. You’re coach is openly talking about how aggressive he wants his team to be. I’m not sure why anyone is surprised Embiid is picking up fouls the way he is and your team isn’t. It just seems like a very obvious trade off for building the roster this way that shouldn’t have to be explained.

Kyle Lowry’s raptors career is the greatest proof that there’s no ref conspiracy going on against the raptors

Lowry playing for you guys forever didn’t seem to stop raptors fans from complaining about this stuff

Kyle Lowry’s raptors career is the greatest proof that there’s no ref conspiracy going on against the raptors

Lowry averaged 4.6 freethrow attempts per game during his career as a Raptor.....only 3 FTA during the 18-19 championship run season.

please try again.

Lowry was pretty horrible at foul baiting, rarely able to get shooting fouls, 90% of the time his foul baiting was an on the floor foul.....Butler, Embiid, and Harden are on a completely different level

Lowry does flop and is a foul baiter...just make sure you don't complain about Lowry or Butler when they do it in the 2nd round

keep that same energy that you have for Embiid and Harden...I'll be there to keep Sixers fans in check

Do you remember this level of whining from Sixers fans about Lowry during the 2019 series? Im sure some people will complain but this is like all you guys are talking about while your team is getting boat raced.

Raptors fans can complain all they want when Embiid has the same amount of freethrows in the 1st quarter (12) that the entire Raptors team got in 4 quarters (12).

Complain to your coach and GM for not having someone that can cover him without fouling.

If people are doing nothing but complain about the refs when we lose 2 games by 35 points please do. I have a feeling most Sixers fans would be too busy trashing our own team.

Again though I’m not sure how you’re getting how you don’t get the Lowry thing. Why don’t you tell raptors fans to not complain now because they were fine with Lowry for so long?

You mean the series where 76ers shot more free throws and had less personal fouls then the Raps? The series where they averaged 7 less free throws then current 76ers are? Of course there was less complaining

The difference is that I can at least admit that Lowry flopped and foul baited

can you admit that Embiid and Harden are flopping and foul baiting

Oh definitely.

The reason a lot of these fouls are happening is that the Raptors are playing personnel and style that lends itself to fouling.

But sure if Embiid or Harden see an opportunity to draw a foul they do. And the raptors are giving them lots of opportunities, on top of a lot of times just fouling them.

ok just make sure you give the same explanation when Butler and Lowry are combining for 17 freethrow attempts per game against the Sixers....that's all I'm asking for.
