WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE REFS ARE GIVING THE SIXERS ALL THE CALLS YO


Dude, the game thread was starting to chill and be alright and you're bringing troll energy back into it.


You do realize, the post comes in response after a deluge of Raps talking about flops despite Siakam clearly forearming Joel in the back after getting a running start.

Neither fan base has a blank check to just complain about calls or flops without the other fan base responding to it.

I wasn't saying the thread was clean, but compared to before it was getting better.

And that guy trolled the entire time after last game to the start of this game.

I agree, but we are all human. You can't expect either side to hold their tongues while another goes on a rant. Just not how people work.

Sixers have been so lazy for like the last 8 mins. I know they were up huge, but they really couldn't have tried a bit harder to keep Raptors buried and feeling hopeless.

You must have despised watching the Lowry Raptors then.


Lowry flops but he looks like a rookie compared to what Embiid and Harden are doing

Embiid and Harden each average like double Lowry FTAs, and 76ers have been shooting free throws at a historically high rate since the trade. Kinda ridiculous to compare them to the Lowry era Raptors

Embiid shouldn't be talking to the coach. Classless flopper

Yeah.. much better season than most of us thought we'd have. And we did think we could maybe push Philly in this series...

Philly just has too much firepower.

Bit early for Embiid to be talking to opponent coaches but it's not a series until a road team wins so we'll see what adjustments are in store for both teams.

Hey - just calling it as I see it.

And I gave you some love with your post about Boucher. I thought it was great. But you can always count on a Raptors fan to follow it up with some whiny little post about the refs or the Sixers flopping.

It is like day following night.

I assure you, I would love to have a thread with substantive, thoughtful posting. I would ENJOY that. But that is not what we get.

Tell you what - lets get posters to stop whining about the refs, and just have fun talking about the game. I am down for that.

How about you?

Raps have to hope Scottie emerges as THAT guy. Demar wasn't him. Pascal and Freddie aren't him too.

So how good is Philly if sixers sweep raptors? Because I was told this would go 7. Or are we gonna back track now and mention the raptors are young and just happy to be in playoffs

And Raptors fans are able to participate in a thread discussing a game without the majority of posts bitching about the refs or whining about the Sixers flopping.

Right?
