Honestly, I don't care if the Raptors get spanked each game if that happens. No one has every come back from a 0-3 deficit in NBA hx. That counts for something.

It’s quite astonishing. He can’t shoot, can’t finish, can’t get by his man…all in the space of a few months.

Since the beginning of February he’s had these shooting performances:

6/19
2/11
5/15
3/17
5/19
5/12
5/12
7/18
2/11
4/15
4/13
3/12

Playoffs:

6/17
3/9
5/17
4/11

One of the Raptors announcers said he's now out for the series but should be available if they advance.

Let's all be realistic, Raps still need to win at home and then win AGAIN in Philly. 4 straight.

I don't care how much a team is reeling, it's just so unlikely.

Just happy this is a series now.

As a semi-casual Sixers fan, they looks a mess right now. Embiid looks exhausted and Harden just does not have any extra gear right now at all. The coaching difference is so apparent also ... Sixers are getting worse the longer this series goes along, and the Raptors are getting better.

Great day for a neutral. First Boston sweep the Nets, now Raptors making 76ers sweat.

Like Harden is so damn trash. SOOOO trash right now. Embiid injured stops trying, and then who do you got? Tobias (who the Raptors game planned for)? Gary Trent?

Embiid is the embodiment of a paper tiger.

Any little pressure or something not going right...he pouts his way out of the game.

Bhatia is the owner of one of the top-selling Hyundai car dealerships in Canada which has enabled him to amass a net worth of $50 million. He founded the Superfan Foundation in 2018 as a way to bring diverse people in Canada and around the world together through sport.


You're telling me like I don't know this. Not sure why.
It was just funny because he thought he was the rapper and when you say the Hyundai dealership owner its such a contrast. Did I insult you in some way or something?

With Embiid injured, I wouldn't be shocked if Toronto win the series. James Harden needs to show up for sure.

The Raptors have only made 8 threes each of the last 2 games on under 25% shooting and still managed to win both games, pretty difficult to do in today's NBA.

For what it's worth I didn't see the fan you lads were talking about. Just read the name. I've seen him at plenty of Raps games, just didn't know his name :).
