Perfect pass from OG.

The players that are real assets, are the ones who perform in the playoffs. Maxey erupting like this, when it actually counts, kind of makes Phillys offseason a little more interesting.

The playoffs are when you prove yourself.

Raptors are getting screwed by the refs in addition to them not playing well defensively.

Well so far 2 out of the 3 games today were duds. Hopefully DEN GS is good

I love it. (obviously not as a Raptors fan).

But it's so cool when people show up like this. 21st pick overall. Very cool.

Was embiid really crying to the ref about pascal bumping him in the post?

Just that he didn't get the timeout when he called it.

I think if there was an NCAA tournament Tyrese would have been a lottery pick.

Took down Ja head to head in a start this year without Embiid or Harden also.

From his rookie season every time he's gotten a chance to be the guy he's gone off.

Not sure what his potential is. His jumper is pure is water, once he starts tapping into his isolation bag he might take another leap.

Sixers shooting lights out this game. Only 1 turnover. Have they figured out how to expose the Raptors defense? Raptors usually rely on ball pressure to force turnovers and to rush 3 point shots but Philly has completely neutralized that strategy this game.

Side note to the Raptors game:

Scottie Barnes getting some serious reps and performing in his first ever playoff game.

15pts, 8 asts, 10 rebounds. 2 assists shy to a triple double.

Damn.

Yea this isnt on FVV. Maxey can cook anyone but he has a habit of deferring

I can see why you didn't trade him for Lowry.

I'm talking all kinds of **** in our game thread about it but truthfully none of us saw this level of shooting coming. Doubling his scoring on a sizeable efficiency jump just doesn't happen every season.

Harden is trash and Sixers are still winning lol.

They don't even need him to beat the Raptors.

oh no

USWAY · Post #1077 » by **USWAY** » Sun Apr 17, 2022 12:22 am

Damn Prayer's up to Barnes. Took all of Embiid's weight

AussieCeltic · Post #1078 » by **AussieCeltic** » Sun Apr 17, 2022 12:22 am

That does not look good for Barnes. Hopefully nothing serious

****. Seriously?

Doc Rivers gets credit for this game.

Shocking considering his recent reputation.

Nurse also not looking so great.
