What's great about this series for some1 without a horce in the race, is that the fun factor is thru the charts

Such diff teams and culture, turns into must see TV if the Raps actually manage to gain ground in the series and Doc begins to implode..

On the other hand, if the 76ers prevail, we might just get a 2nd round between the Sixers and the Nets, with Simmons coming back (at least in some capacity) - so it's win-win and must see either way

Question is will Embiid go Chokebiid mode as per usual or not? Will he get embarrassed and disgraced by Siakim again?

If he is dominant the Sixers likely win in 6 or 7. If he goes Chokebiid again they lose in 6.

9. Korkmaz 2:15 (-5, -23.3bpm) ----- xxxxx

OUT

PHI: Thybulle
TOR: VanVleet, Anunoby

Game 3:

1. Harden 37:38 (-1, -1.9bpm) ------ Barnes 42:08 (+5, -5.6bpm)
2. Embiid 37:15 (+7, -0.1bpm) ------ Siakam 36:01 (-5, +10.3bpm)

5. Harris 26:51 (+7, -9.6bpm) ------- Birch 21:43 (-16, -3.9bpm)

6. Niang 29:19 (-22, +2.7bpm) ------ Boucher 38:56 (+16, -1.0bpm)
7. Green 16:00 (-9, -1.2bpm) ------- Young 19:23 (+13, +8.0bpm)
8. Jordan 10:43 (-10, -12.0bpm) --- Brooks 14:06 (+10, +9.3bpm)
9. Milton 8:42 (-9, -5.8bpm) -------- xxx
10. Reed 2:47 (-6, -18.4bpm) ------- xxx

OUT

PHI: none
TOR: VanVleet, Anunoby, Flynn

So yeah, hopefully Nurse doesn't even consider starting Birch (or even playing him at all vs Embiid tbh). And if I were Nurse i'd be very tempted to start Precious, though i'm not really sure who comes out for him.

Someone needs to go get a copy of this scouting report, Im mightily intrigued

ATLTimekeeper · Post #526 » by **ATLTimekeeper** » Wed Apr 13, 2022 6:13 pm

Toronto's scouting report on Philly:

Embiid: Tall. MVPish.
Harden: Still working himself into shape at this stage of the season.
Harris: Would prefer to be dumped to OKC.
Maxey: Fast. Only guy having fun on this team.
Thybulle: He'll take one shot and then he's good.
Danny Green: Solid podcaster. Knows we have the coaching advantage.
Niang: First egg shaped wing in NBA history.
Shake Milton: He's been awful for most of the year, so he'll murder us. Nothing we can do about it.
Korkmaz: Turkish Milton.
Paul Reed: He's played less than Yuta Watanabe but for some reason Philly reporters think he's key to the series.
DeAndre Jordan: If he comes onto the court, they're in trouble.

Pretty sure Raps/Sixers avoid Celts/Bucks/Nets until ECF

Other than the Celtics series this the one I’m hyped af for.

Two crazy fanbases one dip **** coach one good one both constant whiners it’s gonna be a blood bath for the refs.

Raps in 7 and I’ll be pulling for them can’t believe I’m saying that. Pascal has been **** unreal this year and Scottie 2 hottie has been fantastic.

Sixers losing would be just hilarious.

I'm just here to see two of the most insane fan bases go at it. Good luck to both

Sixers will crumble if Embiid folds under the spotlight. They'll win if he steps it up.

Harden scores 40+% of his points off the line with Philly. He's no more the dominant scorer he once was. The whistle will tighten up & so will Hardens output. Embid's fitness has been questionable to say the least. Can't see him carrying that sort of load night in and out. Raptors in 6.
