[Gennosuke]

Sixers should be embarrassed if they can't win this one going away.

This same depleted Raptors lineup got blasted by 45 pts in their last game against the Cavs.

[Gennosuke]

Raptors have Siakam and Trent back in the lineup, so a bit of a tougher matchup for the Sixers, but they should still be able to pull away from this team.

[Gennosuke]

Sixers not looking particularly impressive, but having a decent night from the 3 pt line, enough to help them bolt out to a 7 pt halftime lead.

[Gennosuke]

Sixers are playing like the team that is running out of gas rather than the shorthanded Raptors. Need to refocus and avoid the sloppy ball.

[awfulstack]

Please leave Tobias in Toronto.

[BelmontShore]

Hyper athletic teams are kryptonite to this team.

Ultimately, you have to hope Embiid's dominance can continue, but the Raptors' movement and 3pt shooting is ridiculous.

[BelmontShore]

Korkmaz taking that foul just so he could complain is dumb as hell and will help get the Raptors in the penalty sooner in the 4th. You can't do that shit.
