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

[Meeksology]

is a bit dissapointing that people still mock embiid for crying after a tough loss

god forbid people have emotions

I hear you but Joel kind of asks for it with his constant trolling and trash talking when things are going well.

I did feel for the guy when I watched this in real time. That series was easily Toronto’s toughest during that playoff run and I can’t even imagine what it felt like for a player to battle so hard for 7 games and then lose like that.

He hasn't really trolled since then. This is more just a bunch of fans being really petty.

He learned alot from that series. He's tamed down alot from his extra antics and really seemed more focused after that yr, which made him more dangerous.

As many know Embiid said Toronto is the team he doesn’t like facing because of their defense. He’s having a MVP year so you’ll expect to still give you similar numbers even if there is some drop.

I don’t trust Harden or Doc though. This has upset written all over it. I hope it goes 6-7 games.

Dooes anyone have a clip or vid of this?

Having the last laugh for Raps fans is the gift that keeps on giving.

If anyone is wondering, this is why people give Embiid a hard time.

Terrible sportsmanship on the part of Embiid here.

I don't know who will win but I am rooting for the Raptors.

[stormi]

Raptors fans and Celtics fans colluding LMAOOOOO. We're absolutely lifting the Larry O this year.

[Wolfgang630]

Remember Jordan couldn’t get through Pistons. Sometimes there’s teams you have to eventually beat. That’s Boston and Raptors for Embiid.

Im rooting for Philly...... Im a lil scared of facing the Raps later in the playoffs

Id have no issue playing Philly specially with Joels daddy Al Horford back with us

[Wolfgang630]

How many daddies Joel has lol

[Raps in 4]

How many daddies Joel has lol

Al and Marc are old. Precious is about to adopt him.

[sprewellchokes]

Fully expecting a Toronto win in 6 games. 76ers are a joke and Raptors are tough in the playoffs.

I just don't want Nick Nurse doing any of that "pretending to be a player" bull again like in the bubble.

Lol dude Let that go. You won that series. I dunno how Tatum could mistake A 6 foot tall 54-year old white man wearing all black as his teammate lmao.

Embiid will dominate unless he gets triple teamed. Only thing that can save the Sixers tho is if the time off helps Harden's hamstring like it did the 1st couple games he played in Philly after the trade.

[RaptorPride]

What is going on? Why is the majority picking Toronto to win the series? This feels so weird.

[TimeisIllmatic]

I'll say Sixers in 7. Embiid is going to lock in.

[Raps in 4]

Because there are a million Raps fans on RGM and because most people hate Embiid and Harden.

[JayMKE]

Too much going in Toronto's favor, this has the feeling of a meltdown series for Philly where Doc gets fired afterwards. Raps in 6.

[TroyD92]

Rooting for the raps. I think this goes 7 but Sixers manage to pull out an insanely hard fought series. Can't wait for this one!

[God Squad]

All this Toronto love isn't sitting well with me.

[LoveMyRaps]

I don't know about yall, I'm just excited to watch these two great young players perfrom in the Playoffs

Watch on YouTube

The future. Both these dudes are gonna be special.
Maxey is gonna have a much greater impact for the 76ers than Harden.

[IAMZOOTED2]

I don't know who wins this series, but it seems like fans on both sides better be prepared to eat some crow and an extry helping of humble pie.

Pretty easy to see Nurse outcoaching doc, tho.

Keep in mind how massive the Raptors fanbase on realgm is, and the very small percentage that post here on the General Board. Despite how it sometimes feels like a lot, it's still nothing. The G1 thread is already like 30 pages on the Raptors board and lkke 6 pages on the Philly board, with nearly half of that being a few of our more troll like posters over there ruffling feathers. The Raptors board generally welcomes interlopers from other teams and is wayyyy more tolerant than other boards (Bucks cough Celtics cough Knicks) where they are super thin skinned and sensitive. All it takes is a dozen or so Raptors posters to make the entire thousand or whatever look bad, and a lot of other realgm posters hate on the Raptors fanbase because of it.

So yeah, this thread has already seen some Raptor fans acting a little immature, but remember, it's not representative of the much larger number of us. Some of them don't even post on the Raptors forum at all.
