How ironic the thing that matters most in this series (Mattisse vacination status) is a medical issue.

The Nurse vs the Doctor

I'd say Sixers in 5-6 if we didn't have coach with IQ lower than 40

All I know is Tobias Harris is gonna put up 12 ppg on 37/24/77 shooting splits

I am taking Sixers in 6. Star power matters most in this league and embiid is the biggest this series.

76ers in 6 and shouldn't be much drama.

Don’t think anyone besides Embiid has a good series offensively for Philly.

Toronto's roster construction for this year never ceases to amaze me. They haven't got a single body that's taller than 6'9 on the entire roster, not even the 20th man. And they still made it work and then some.

Skill over size all day, every day. I'm definitely rooting for them in the east.

Embiid revenge series..

I think this goes to 6-7 games

My biggest fear for this series -- we're about to enter FT purgatory. The refs + the style of play of Harden and Embiid might really dictate the pace for critical parts of the game. Yeah, those players make plays to get foul calls and contact, but generally, it really messes up the offensive flow, and leads to mind-numbingly frustrating basketball. (even if by definition it is still basketball)

Let's go 7, Raps in 7!

Brain says Philly in 7 but I could see any outcome honestly. I feel like Embiid's gonna get his, but it's put up or shut up time for Harden. This is it.

I'm really hoping its to a Scottie buzzer beater game winner with 4 bounces.

Yeah. It's always some guy I didn't even know was in the NBA who goes off for 30+ points against us.

Raps in 4.

If Toronto can stay out of foul trouble, and take one of the first two games, I think that'll be the series.

If they can't, it's going to go long.

Raps in 5

Embiid and Harden are going to have a helluva time keeping up with the raps' pace over a whole playoffs seriesm

Scottie buzzer beater in game 4 as Raps sweep.

Maybe so, but on average they're tall
