So hyped for the next game. Hopefully Siakam and Kawhi can sustain momentum and we get more offensive contribution from the rest. Great overall defence.

Simmons had a good game. The guy needs to start doing a mid-range and 3 pointer this off-season. He's so damn great inside. If he can add a mid-range on that. He's really going off.

we need a 3rd player, that's the elephant in the room. Just anyone who can give us a solid 15pts and this team could take anyone imo. A lou will type on this current team would be lethal.

Guys I couldn’t sleep well last night. I watched all the post game shows I can find. My mind was racing and dreaming about raptors. I have a headache. Basketball hangover :(.

Simmons and Butler are plus defenders, and Harris is capable, but they don't seem to possess the physical tools to bother the Raps duo much.

Yup exactly. The Orlando series was a great warm up.


Meanwhile the Sixers played a lot of bully ball against an undersized Nets team and were shook tonight against the size/length of the Raps.

Glad the Raps faced a physical team like Orlando in round 2 to prepare them for what's to come.


It's still bizarre seeing a guy like Butler look ordinary compared to when he would dominate DeMar and impose his will on the game at both ends against the Raptors.

I was saying that the issac was literally the siakam counter at least defensively and siakam still beasted. No one on sizers has the length that Isaac has. Will be interesting to see what game two offers. It amazes me on how good siakam is. No stage fright at all. Continues to grow every dam game. Just amazing.

Giannis is the biggest defensive challenge to Siakam with the length and strength... hopefully we see this matchup.

Lowry is that player, there is NO reason why Lowry can't get you 15.

Gasol and Lowry can both give you 15 but right now their roles on offense are to make reads and distribute. The starting 5 works beautifully.

The bench is what sucks, the opposing teams go on runs when Ibaka, Powell and VanVleet are on the floor together.

Just looking at Embiid post game....yeah this series is done and over in 5. He is totally intimidated against us. For someone who is usually so brash, he looks defeated and the swagger is gone. And if he looks defeated then the 76ers are done. He’s the same way against the Celtics.

Nice to see we can mentally crush a team like the Cavs used to do to us.

At this point only Giannis can stop Siakam.

It's incredible to have one of the best players in the league on our team.

Kawhi was so good that that Pascal, after scoring 22 points in the first half, only took 4 FGA in the second half.

JJ Redick scares me. We really need Danny, Kyle, Fred, and even Norm to pick it up with their playoff 3 point shooting.

He would be an all-timer if that happens because all of his game reps have been finding chances to score in unorthodox ways and a lot of in-between stuff. He's just so far off from having a jump shot that I doubt it happens though.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'
