Entertaining game, though. This is how all 3 games coulda been, shoulda been, had the calls been fair in G1 and G2. Philly probably still up 3-0 on the series, but at least the players decided most of this game with any questionable calls even both ways. That's all anyone can ask.

Great shot by Joel.

Disrespectful to Lowry and Derozan lol. They're better.

Sure, but it's the same idea. Perform at an all-star level in the regular season, look scared/invisible in the playoffs

FVV and Siakam are overrated af by their fanbase

Embiid must have imagined that moment several times in his head after the Kawhi buzzer beater over his head

Doesn't have enough game to warrant such responsibility. Raps just dont have anyone else. I'd look for a trade if i was Raps. His value is probably still pretty high.

One of the most overrated players in the game. His offensive game is so weak that running start from the 3 point line to get himself to the paint is ugly to watch while also shooting bricks. Raptors fans need to stop hyping this guy up so much. Outside of Kawhi saving the franchise, siakam is derozan 2.0 for the raptors

1) Was definitely not 100% on the way down, but
2) was over the rim.

Also, Embiid didn't foul OG at the end of the game.
And Harris was clearly hacked on the arm by FVV at the end of the 4th.

Wrong

I was on Nikola wagon for the season and yes its a regular season award so this should have no bearing but Joel is dominating Toronto who many thought would be a rough matchup. Jokic is getting played off the floor.

How many 7 foot 2 monsters can do what he just did? Unbelievable

What a shot.

Should have been like this the first 3 games.

Pascal and FVV need have a long look in the mirror.

Well done 76ers

He hunted that shot at the end of regulation too. There was no way that was the shot the coaching staff envisioned. He just wanted revenge lol.

JUST. STOP.

NO ref is going to call that.

They know the Raptors aren’t good enough so they are just looking to have the refs bail them out.

LOL you must know read what they say about these two.. They trash them excessively. You couldn't be more wrong.

What a momentum crush. Raptors had this game for the taking and they squandered that opportunity. Siakam played like a scared chicken.

Cool. MVP is a regular season award and Jokic was the most valuable player in the regular season.

Thank you Joel Embiid I went from dead in the water to winning everything because of OT and that clutch 3 lol!

My thoughts exactly. If Kawhi taught Raptor fans anything it's that superstars win championships, and Embiid is a superstar.

Yup. But just like I said there was no way the refs were going to call a foul on that last shot, I don't blame the refs for not calling that foul on the Harris shot.
