If you can't out score the sixers with Embiid on the bench, is pretty difficult to win a series

I mean the argument can clearly be that at that point, the damage is done. The Raptors defense has been neutered.

I'm sorry Philly fans but I need to be a hater. This team is just terrible to watch as a neutral.
My Embiid > Jokic agenda is the only thing that keeps me from throwing up watching the 76ers play

nevermind that the guys with fouls are forced to sit and then you have 2nd tier talent being forced to "outscore" non-embiid minutes

Harden drives directly into a trap.

Both Harden & Embiid fall down.

Foul called on Raptors.

I’ve checked out on this series already. Just embarrassing foul hunting by those two.

Embiid throwing elbows & falling all over the place.

Then this guy Harden has been conditioned his whole career to complain for fouls anytime he misses.

Eh, someone else's problem in the 2nd round :lol:

What about Harden?

u seem to have forgot to mention him in the 'non-embiid mins'

The raps can't beat the Sixers regardless of officiating but being robbed of a chance to even compete, by the referees, that's just bad and a rly bad look imo

If Utah-Dallas no doncic wasn't the most boring series ever i'd tune this game out after the first Qtr

When your best players are constantly in foul trouble you can't defend. That's the biggest difference between teams that become great defensive teams and those who don't. You're telling me Embiid hadn't fouled once this game? Either he's not playing defense or he has fouled.

Embiid went to the bench down 1 and got back with a 10 pts lead.

Are you telling me the Raptors offense is so bad they can't outscore one of the worst bench units in the league?

This game is basically the opposite of what we expected based on the first month of the season. So disappointing that somehow we've gone *backwards* even further back than the beginning of the season. That first 6 weeks was awesome, now we're somewhere worse than last season's playoffs.

I'm totally baffled.

Not so fast. Lets see how they do in Toronto.

Essentially the 76ers are all about fee throws. They should be able to get past the Raptors because the Raptors typically don't even get calls at home.

I don't think this 76ers team is as good as Boston, Miami, or Milwaukee. They spend their entire game hunting freethrows. They will eventually run into a team that's reffed like they are.

I'm just so tired of the flopping. And this is coming from the Lowry stan.

Stop. Calling. The. Flops.

The thing with embiid and harden they are like soccer players who flop to the ground and then grab the ball. The ref HAS to make a call. Either a defensive foul or basically admitting to the world that embiid fell to the ground with no touch. They won’t do that to their star more than maybe once a game, so the other 10 times they do it it will be a defensive foul.
