76ers and Raptors choke...

76ers could be in trouble against the Nets with Embiid limping around out there. Magic was an upset but can't see them winning they shot near 50% from 3 and while Lowry's 0 points is amusing I can't see a repeat.

Since we got a new trailer...

It was as if a million voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced...

You’ve got to wonder if the Sixers are really better than the Nets if Embiid isn’t playing ?
Simmons is limited & gets exposed in the playoffs, Buttler is a shell of his former self, Tobias is their second best player but has never won a playoff game & Reddick hasn’t been shooting great lately.
All the pressures on Philly too which could be their downfall against a hungry Nets team.

Gz to the Nets and Magic, I've always been a fan of the underdog. Hope both teams can keep it up.

I gotta admit the Nets got me all inspired. They legit look like us from 2 years ago. Good coach, great GM, awesome chemistry, wonder where all that went for us.... I miss that team. I miss us being the real Celtics, who care all about winning... I'm drunk.

Still gz to the Magic and Nets. This was inspirational. Hope they can keep it up.

Montreze Harrell is a beast. Only 6’8 & dominates the paint with ease.

I am so sick of watching the warriors already.

Warriors shooting 53 percent. Not gonna slow them down like that.

If it's the Finals, and we got there, I absolutely believe we can beat the Warriors. They've been plenty vulnerable this season.

Houston can give them all they can handle we will see.

Regardless, Doc dragging this Clips roster to the playoffs is one of his better coaching jobs and probably a top 5-7 job in the league this year, if not higher.

True, horrid matchup for them, tho... Woulda been nice if they were 7th or 6th...

We've beaten them 14 out of 18 times in the past 3 years... It's not a good match for them to say the least.

DeRozan going for 18/12/6 is the cherry on a most delicious playoff Saturday sundae!

Dude, Embiid for real is a kid tho... I mean what the **** was he doing checking social media with Amir during a playoff game??? Ffss...

I am **** sick and tired of hearing about how the 76ers have the best starting lineup in the NBA and that they have 4 top 30 players. If either of those statements were true, they wouldve rolled the Nets with or without a healthy Embiid.

The thing is that nobody really pays attention to the fact that the Nets have one of the best benches in the league.
There's no difference going from a Russell/Harris/Carroll/Kurucs/Allen lineup to a Dinwiddie/LeVert/Dudley/Davis lineup.
They are the only team that can actually wore up the opponent's starters in the playoffs even with the bench. Legit 9-10 man rotation.
Philly doesn't have anything on the bench except Boban and you can't play him big mins against PnR.
