Sixers are winning this series, but if Embiid's performance so far is any indication of his ability to play through his thumb injury going forward the chances of another 2nd round exit are pretty likely. Maybe he finds a better way to cope/deal with it.

But any talk of 'well he did x/y/z in the game after being injured' is kind of immaterial since often its not until hours after an injury when you really start to feel the effects of it. We've seen guys finish games on broken bones and torn acls.

The game is in Toronto.

It’s the Playoffs.

Embiid has been dominating them this entire series.

Why would they not boo would be the real question.

It's only him who's being booed. Why not Harden, for instance? Just thought there would be something 'there' there. I guess not.

He told Drake hes gonna sweep
plus he injured Barnes

Fred is hurt and doing more damage than good out there.

Van Vleet sweats KY out of his hands

When I watch FVV he looks like a scrub you’d sub in when the game is a blowout.

He’s taking their team back behind the woodshed, all you can do is boo lol

Raptors with a lot of unforced errors. If they can clean those up they should be able to form a cushion. Embiid clearly not 100%.

I’d rather have the ball in the ROTY’s hands than FVV.

and that's why we didn't want to play Scottie....

Toronto has soooooo many unforced turnovers. They’re killings themselves

Just dumb. Let’s do damage to our rookie of the year when we’re down 3-0.

true, but whatcha gonna do? Flynn isn't an NBA player, not atm anyway
If fred would just focus on making good plays, swinging the ball and making good open shots he'd stil be very useful

He seems hell bent on playing the way he would normally play - and that really hurts the team, he need to scale down on the dribbling and driving into the teeth of the defense

Not a shocking result with Scottie but it was worth a shot, much like KD in 2019

Geez bad luck for him to step on a players foot

Ankles, you don't rush them.

It was a silly decision, I hope he's alright

Ugh I can't believe the Raptors tried to force Scottie to play game 4. It's better to let him be healthy in the off-season to work on his game. If his injury got worse, there goes an opportunity to train and he'll be stuck rehabbing. They weren't gonna come back from 3-0 but I hope he's all right.
