Oh shut up Doc

[TheAlchemist]

Not gonna lie, Harden looks really much like a has been.

[anotherhomer]

Amazing what happens when refs call the game evenly so far

[Johnny Bball]

This shows you the **** Philly was getting away with. They haven't adapted to the whistle and were getting away with all these fouls before.

[Gasolina]

Watching Harden barf up that early clock turnover trying to draw a foul was disgusting. You simply cannot win a championship if you are looking to draw a foul rather than score or make a play. Embiid deserves better because Harden is punching a second round exit ticket with this garbage.

Does he? They’re basically the same

At least he goes strong to the bucket. Harden doesn’t even think about scoring in live play any more unless he’s taking a stepback. It’s pure goonery.

[Bruin]

Philly is mid without the refs on their knees for them

[SFour]

How do Raptors fans feel about the reffing tonight?

no touch fouls...definitely benefits the Raptors more than the Sixers

[C_Money]

Harden is crap when the refs aren’t bailing him out.

[Jadoogar]

Don't foul harden and make him shoot and you're in good shape. They're bailing him out by overhelping on his isos and drives. He's not that good a scorer anymore so make him do that.

100% he can't explode any more but he's still a genius passer. Our double teams and collapsing defense just gave him wide open shooters

Refs called one soft foul on precious at the 02:14 mark of q1 but that was it

[mksp]

Raptors fans complain about refs even when refs are favoring them. So sad. Try to enjoy the actual game, you know?

[Bank Shot]

Embiid looking like Orlando Ewing without the touch fouls.

[picc]

Harden is crap when the refs aren’t bailing him out.

He's crap when you don't overhelp on his drives too.

Make him score one on one. He can't do it anymore.

Probably just like the Philly fans did for the two games before this. Fantastic!

The Paul Reed foul wasnt good tbf. If it was embiid it would definitely be a blocking call

Thats my entire point.

Do you see complaining? I don’t

[Gasolina]

For Raps fans talking about fouls though, you have to admit that the Raptors are playing much less physical on defense tonight. It was the right call. I almost half wonder if the game plan was to hack and body Embiid in Philly to make him get used to going to the line every time so that he would be rattled when Raps started playing less physical and forcing him to actually finish.

Also, they are not overhelping on Harden tonight. Definitely a good adjustment.
