It’s crazy that the 76ers are up 13 with Simmons turning the ball over like crazy and Embid near death. Simmons got Toronto back in the game end of second quarter by getting unnecessarily fancy for a turnover and a missed bunny. Also got embiid his 3rd (which could be a good thing)

simmons really messed up last couple minutes. 1 turnover at the rim that got joel his 3rd foul, another turnover that led to a Green 3

They call that bull foul on Danny Green an honest and humble player who doesn't play dirty and yet Draymond gets to body check Harden and get away with it...


NBA refs are grade A++ trash.

Toronto shot 3-16 from 3 Philly 8-16. Not sure if that will keep up in second half.

Lots of basketball to still be played. Toronto could easily pull this out in the 2nd half.

I wouldn’t be surprised. That was a really strange half of basketball. Enid outscored embid, Harris and Simmons combined.

I have a feeling they will, and I've been rooting for Philly which feels gross.  If Philly can't win a game where their opponent has 26 points with 4 minutes left in the half, I will be irate.

Lead is under 10 already

Sigh raptors look like they woke up. For the Celtics the worst thing is probably a raptors quick victory. It could help us a bit long term if it causes Harris and butler to leave, but for this year we need a close series

Bad signs for Philly

[smokeablount]

Three minutes into the 3rd, Simmons with twice as many turnovers (4) as points (2) on 1-4 shooting... but yeah, totally makes sense to compare him to Giannis.  Keep that going!

Kawhi Leonard starts the 3rd quarter with a 5-0 run 

Feels like another game where Kawhi will put up 35+

Monroe outplaying Embiid

If Philly blows this game I think they'll need to change their catchphrase from "Trust the Process" to "Mock the Process"
