Sixers played about the best half they ever could have 0 TOs and shot great from deep. Raps played about the worst they could’ve.

Don’t worry tho Doc getting in the lab right now formulating his adjustments to **** this lead up.

Raptors can't afford to not win the minutes when Embiid is off the floor.

I actually think the lineup of Precious - Siakam - Scottie - OG - Fred played pretty good.

Gary needs to step up immensely. Pascal needs to as well , he can't shrink under the pressure. OG needs to impact the game much more.

If Harris shows up to this series consistently, the Raps a toast
He's not much on his own perhaps, but if they can barely challenge Embiid+Harden, when u add Maxey and Harris it's just too much by the looks of it

Trent needs to stop foul hunting. He's flopping and falling on every shot.

Perfect first half for the Sixers.

The Raptors need the Sixers to miss a few of those open 3s that Nurse's defense always allows, start the ISOball, grab the defensive rebounds and run in the transition.

Alright revive my hope, what else may change. I've barely seen the Raptors this year and a Philly cakewalk would be disappointing.

Teams shooting around the same %, the 76ers 50% from 3 which if a team is going to shoot that well not much you can do. The Raptors 39% which is good though. But the Raptors are -10 on the glass, which going into this series we all knew the lack of size for Toronto would be an issue. They wont win this series if this continues, and if it does it will be short.

I'm loving Barnes development. This team will fight against a veteran Philly team. Enjoying this as a Raptors fan since 95.

We even lost to the Magic in Game1 at home before we won our title

Nurse is as good as it gets when it comes to adjustments and Doc is..you know…Doc

Harris looks night and day in terms comfortability in this Harden offense. Looks very decisive. We'll see if he keeps that up.

Remember when he smacked cam payne in the face twice in a row for an offensive then flagrant foul? :) :) :)

I like trent jr. But come on.

No lead is safe for Philly when Doc Rivers is coach

On top of this, they will give the Hart to McDavid, not Matthews. Leaf fans on watch.

The 76ers look ready to go to the conference finals.

The strategy of getting everyone to run including Embiid really screwed with Nurse's strategy to do the same to the 76ers.

Also, Tyrese Maxey is playing amazing and I see this sustaining. He's been a constant this year. Embiid isn't shrinking under the pressure and he's the best player.

What's making the biggest impact is Tobias Harris. If he can play this good, which he definitely can, 76ers are gonna make the finals.

Jalen Rose’s hair and goatee dye job is so obvious.
