Playoffs: Toronto (5) vs Philly (4) Discussion

[KrazyP]

This is such a poetic series to get back into the playoffs with, given the TWO dynamic on this board the past 2 years.

Here we have, treadmilling no superstar therefore can’t win pretender Raptors vs captain Tank double MVP superstar contender 76ers.

I wonder if there will be any, ANY self reflection by certain posters once the Raps mop the floor with these fools… Raps in 6.

Good point....if those posters haven't self reflected already, they never will.

The 76ers are like 10 years removed from the start of "The Process". The fact of the matter is that the tanking "Process" produced a treadmill team and that treadmill team is randomly shuffling the deck every year trying to become an actual contender.

All jokes aside..I wish we give him a proper tribute along with Serge..he just left after the bubble year and Serge had empty arena

Can we fly Marc Gasol in just to sit court side to spook Embid.

If we get to play the Bucks in the playoffs...Serge will get his full arena.

My only concern and question about this series is Fred and us winning all those games because he was missing as opposed to even without him.

I say this because playing jumbo really gives us the advantage to bother them defensively and offensive rebounds have been a huge factor behind our wins.

lol any victories we get will be on the backs on fvv, siakam and og (and thad). the rest of the role players, young players; they will be hit and miss. remember, the point of these playoffs to give the young players exposure. everything else including wins is a bonus.

[WaltFrazier]

so we're starting FVV/GTJ/OG/Pascal/Scottie, right?

That's asking for foul trouble for Scottie and Siakam. We need Precious to save his fouls for Embiid this series as he's our best matchup against him. We cannot let Embiid get going by beiqng extra small. Not sure how Nick will adjust the starting lineup.

It will be a huge move for Nick to bring Scottie or Gary off the bench and start Precious. But if we start the best five like we always do when available, I fear foul trouble and falling behind early.

Can we sign Marc gasol to a 10 day contract

[hype_2004]

Thybulle their best defender will not travel with team to play in Toronto.The NBA doesn't want to get embarrassed and will do everything in its power to "balance" the series, Embiids and Harden will get 30+ FTs together each game, prepare to be disappointed. I'll be looking for ticky tack fouls and blatant non calls all series, we know it's coming.That dorky looking **** Silver will make sure it's a "fair" series.

Scottie playing the 5 terrifies me in this series.

Doc can't be talking about the Raps we don't have a big 5 man

[Young Moosehead]

NBA on TNT. Shaq just said the Raptors are getting swept!!? And that Embid will go off on us. He's the MVP. Ernie then called him out. Then Barkley praised Barnes. Hope somebody can clip this. It was just before the Golden State vs. Pelicans game was about to begin.

Its towards the end

Watch on YouTube

Shaq always has the worst takes. He is funny. But the worst analyst of the four.

[RapsAndJays21]

House money. No expectations, but we can realistically win this series. Interested to see if Playoff Barnes is a thing.

[hype_2004]

Hands up on defense and don't foul against Embiid and Harden and we Gucci.. Hope the coaches make that a point of emphasis

Just watch, ticky tack fouls and blatant non calls, prepare to be disappointed. I have low expectations about the impartiality regarding this series, Philly will not have Thybulle to play here and the NBA will make sure to "balance" the series.

No way Shaq watches Raptor games. He can't even pronounce Siakam's name.

[Risk101]

The ramifications for James Harden bullying his way out of Philly only to lose to the Raptors in the first round is on a UNIVERSAL level.

Kevin Durant signing to Toronto confirmed.

[Caped Crusader]

Everyone was talking about Pascal getting potential revenge against the Celtics, well could this be the Freddy revenge series against Philly? Remember we won that series despite him. Don't think he forgot it.
