Raptors in blow out fashion expect Siakam to have another huge game as they will try to double Kawhi.

Who we got winning today? I think Raptors win by 8-10, maybe a strong first quarter by 76ers but just don't think they have the horsepower to stay close all game. I have no feel on the Denver Portland goal. i guess I could see Portland stealing the game, but some teams really struggle to play in Denver.

I think Raptors win 104-95. Sixers put up a better fight but it still won't be enough on the road. Also, Embiid's playing tonight but he may not be 100% due to some stomach issues apparently. They also won't have Mike Scott who is basically their 6th man (great depth piece). Sixers are already a thin team as is.

As for DEN-POR, honestly this series in general feels like a toss up just like DEN-SAS did. I'm going to say the Blazers win tonight and steal Game 1 by a score of 99-92. I also think Portland wins the series in 6.

I'm picking a Raptors blowout.

And Denver win too, tonight and for the series.

So it just occurred to me, but after Game 2 of Bucks-Celtics tomorrow night, we have two days before Game 3, and then after Game 3 we have two more days off until the next game.

To put into perspective, between now and next Tuesday (a total of 8 days), we'll have played just 3 games in that span. So yeah, this could really feel like a LONG series especially if it's tied 2-2 after Game 4.

Interesting Embiid stat

The Sixers were 43-21 in the regular season with Embiid and 8-10 without him.

Heck of a difference

Gives the Bucks an advantage to regroup, and unleash chaos mid-series. Hope the Celtics put them away by Game 4. Or it'll be a real long series.

plus, Brogdon coming back favors them in a long series.

This sixer fan in the floor seat, standing and putting up a 76ers flag or whatever, everytime they score is seriously anoying me.

on a side note, a brilliant response from the sixers, doubling kawi on receiving the ball and forcing everyone else to put the ball in the basket,

i hope that CBS will foresee the adjustment the Bucks will make so that we can awoid this type of a response.

Raptors seeing the ghosts of playoff pasts

Brett Brown always sounds like he should be The Celtics coach...

Yeah, thankfully though he isn't!

Too many players are just playing for the foul call. Play through!

I haven't seen T. Harris play well yet. Is he always like this?

It's weird. Whenever he played against us on any of his other teams he always seemed to scorch us (particularly Detroit). Now he seems like just a solid inconsistent player
