76ers playing very well.

or the Raptors are bad !! i am not sure which one it is. They look so bad on offense-

The Raptors are bad. We almost beat them in Toronto without Tatum, Brown, Rob and Horford. And their fans also talked trash after that game. I will enjoy seeing them get swept.

They have a lot of wing players but they arent very skilled !!Pascal got one or maybe 2 moves their best player is Fred. and hes an undersized guard--but philly is playing well, I will give them credit for that.

We know how good Embiid, Harden and Maxey are, but if Tobias Harris contributes like this then boy they'll be super tough for anyone to beat.

I think they're a nightmare matchup for Toronto if they're hitting from outside.  Raptors don't have anybody with a hope of slowing down Embiid individually and swarming him with help defenders just springs everybody else.

Throw in the fact that Toronto didn't force a single turnover in that half and you get this.

Nuggets-Warriors is an interesting series in that I'm not really sure you could go wrong with picking either team tbh. Like, each team has its pros and cons and it might literally come down to a few plays (or injuries)

I predict Warriors in 6 but like if Denver won I wouldn't be too surprised. Jokic could go off in particular against GSW

Probably a bit of both. 76ers are a middle of the pack shooting team and are at almost 50% from 3. Harris having one of his best games in a long time. It is possible that the raptors don’t just have enough firepower but I do trust nurse to make some adjustments.

Nuggets supporting cast is really bad. I think nuggets only prayer is if curry is a shell of himself.

The Sixers at their best are very good.  They’ve rarely been that for multiple games in a row, however, and playoff series obviously require that to advance.

They also have the hindrance of being coached by Doc

I can’t believe doc benched deandre. One of his rare smart moves.

Honestly, it's hard to watch Embiid sometimes as a non-Philly fan and not get aggravated between his blatant flops/embellishments and the refs' eagerness to call fouls for him.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Yeah, given he's 7'+ and 280+lbs, the flopping is especially over the top
