Dislike Toronto.

Hate Philadelphia(even the city...it's a pit).

So I want the Sixers to lose. I also would love it if a loss for the Sixers means Harris and Butler go elsewhere. Philly would be left with an extremely fragile Embiid and a seriously flawed Simmons to lead them post The Process.

But since they had a 50 win season.....I guess they will have succeeded.

I don't like both..but id rather see Raptors and Bucks in the ECF.

Guess im kinda leaning towards Bucks in this scenario...Might as well lose to the eventual champs right ( Bucks have all the ingredients to win it all..Defense and the Freak which none of the western team is going to stop.

I am a big fan of Kawhi, Gasol and Danny Green, so I'm definitely rooting for Toronto. I dislike almost all of Philly's roster (besides their bench guys, like Moose!), and seeing Embiid lose after talking so much trash again would be poetic.

Hopefully Kawhi goes West regardless though

I've waffled about which team I want to win. This might be the last good chance for TOR to make the finals for a long time so I'm rooting for TOR.

The choice is TOR or PHI obviously every Celtics fan wants to see Philly lose I can't stand Simmons and Joel biggest babies of the NBA.

Wow. After a 6-1 TOR run to start the half, PHI answered with a 10-0 run...

He wont...keep saying that title is not the motivating factor for Kawhi since he already has a ring...he is screaming like a typical California guy hence he will go home...Clippers will be his likely destination...then again maybe if Bron can entice him to play and Bron takes a backseat to Kawhi, that team will be a formidable one as well.

what a close game 7

The ball bouncing or spinning the wrong way in a bucket may make or break one of these teams entire season

Unless Kawhi goes beast mode, the Raptors aren't winning this.

Leonard doing his best Kyrie Irving impression.  Aggressive for the sake of being aggressive, not really reading the defense or creating for others.  Putting up tons of tough/bad shots.

Yikes, Toronto looking quite shaky here.

It's kind of 50/50 whose loss would ultimately benefit us most here. On one hand, a Toronto loss would seem to make it fairly likely that Kawhi is out of there this summer, which would essentially take Toronto out of the running in the Eastern Conference.

On the other hand, a Philly loss could also decimate their summer plans, as it's already unlikely that they keep both Harris and Butler this summer, and this could lead to Philly losing both of them.

Hmmm, decisions, decisions on who to root for.
