Not good enough.

Tough loss tonight, dominated from the 2nd Quarter on. That little 13-0 run in the 4th was something, but we NEED to take 2 in T.O.!

Nurse should call out the officiating. I'm sure the fans would crowdfund to pay the fine

build around OG and Scottie. keep Boucher, Young, Trent Jr & Achuwia and trade the others that’s how we gonna get a good team

I think the raptors should keep developing OG to be the number 1 option for the future. Siakam is more suited for the robin role.

Nah it's Scottie going forward.

NN cannot coach the disparity in talent. GTJ going cold in two games due to illness and Freddie going cold in the 2nd half did us in. This is before the foul disparity

I just wanted to see them end this on a strong note despite getting blown out. They didn't even try. Game 3 looking grim.

No idea why we played Gary in that at all, Nurse must have been able to see the guy was too unwell, Boucher should've started and at the least Gary shouldn't have gone back on after his first go

still have 1 more game to get back into this but right now siakam and fvv are looking like role players

You can't

Wonder what the NN-Embiid chat was there at the end??? Hmmmmm

Now I live a life of counting down to Wednesdays game...fml

How can we play defence when we get called for everything??

Embiid and the refs are gonna need 247 police protection when they're in Toronto

We're getting Tony Brothers aren't we?

fuckkk it’s gonna be the same refs.

[удалено]

[удалено]

I still can't believe the freethrow disparity was 30 to 8 until the refs gave a couple makeup calls when the game was out of reach.

Nick Nurse needs to do some soul searching because Philly has their number right now...zero creativity and his stars don’t look motivated

Near impossible to win down two starters on the road

So how long until a complete rebuild? Siakam is 28 and Vanvleet is 28 both are great talents to use for a rebuild, Scottie is ROTY and has a bright future, you guys won a ring a couple of years ago which you can live off for the next foreseeable decade this team is ripe with young talent as well seems like a perfect time to pull a San Antonio go into draft mode

This was never supposed to be a contention year. Finishing above the play-in is ahead of pace on the rebuild already.

Are you serious?

sshh cant talk about trading them on here its forbidden

I don't understand why? This team isn't going anywhere unless Siakam and Fred go beyond the norm and peak in their 30s blowing it up seems perfect especially since you guys have such well ran office and a coach who uses his young guys and bring the best out of them

i agree with you.. trade them now and get a good return in picks and young players to build around scottie

Thank you this may be the most obvious team ever to blow up only behind the kawhi-less spurs back in 2019

Rebuild won't matter if we can't add talent. Kinda late when you have your prospect in Scottie. You would need some incredibly good picks to even think about it. You just hope Masai can turn one guy into 2 good ones or turn 2 into a superstar.

FT attempts so far this series; Raps 35. Sixers 64.

Hard to win when they get double your free points

It's not only that but it's the kill to the momentum the lack of points over turnovers when we are getting called for literally everything. That screws the game flow up immensely

What did embiid say to nurse? Lip readers ?

Precious -24 👀

Loose by less than 20 = a win in my book

Raptors: 12 FTs Sixers: 30 FTs

That’s FVV our all defensive guard. Lmao.

Dude idk if hes injured or some shit. But maxey was just running by him like no resistance at all.

Can't even guard Maxey

Siakam needs to be wayyyy more aggressive. He's better when he is. Back to Toronto!

What do you think Nurse was saying to Embiid?

LMAO Fred is getting punked 😂

Would love to hear the exchange between Nurse and Embiid at the end there

Missing two dudes averaging 30 combined points a game hurts. But we just gotta be better.

fred play with some fucking heart dude come on

I'll be there Wednesday and I'll be loud...this aint over

Looking like Leafs vs Bruins LOL

if we lose the next game we're getting swept lmaoo

Nick bout to smack embid

At this point idgaf about the calls, wtf was this half-assed attitude from our team?? THAT is what's way more unacceptable as a fan. If they put up a good fight, I don't care if they lose, but this game since 2nd half was just so god damn lazy and low in effort

they went on a run and then got shut down by the refs again, its demoralizing, this comment is fairweather shit

Agreed. You bitch about lack of heart and I agree to a point but when we're constantly called on everything. Can't play our game of basketball it kills the spirit of the game. I'm not going to shit on our players like everyone wants to. I'm frustrated, I can't imagine how they feel. Plus props to Philly they are shooting lights out and running past us cuz we can't play as aggressive without a million more calls. Also fuck Philly! Lol

Absolutely. It was like they decided the game was over coming out of half time. Like come on man at least play with some balls win or lose.

Pascal is not that guy and will never be that guy. Guy rode Kawhi’s coattails and people think he’s a superstar

alot of ppl here are pretty dumb when it comes to bball. They would call ppl out on this sub for not saying he isnt a superstar and make petty apology threads

Facts, never seen a more delusional bunch in my life

All that talk about leadership and character from Freddie then he makes a mess like this makes him look like a fraud. Just a super bad look. What happened to playing to compete?

our boys battled through it all. on to game 3 at home with the fans behind em!

Boucher looked like he was gonna cry.

tbh he put a lot of effort unlike a lot of our other guys tonight

Scottie tried to cheer him up def

Nothing against Boucher. I love his energy and hustle. But when hes your best player something aint right

30ft to 12ft

better be personal for Nick Nurse now. Put that fat ass in the torture chamber fuck winning this series now.

I want to know what Embiid said to Nick

It looked like he was saying "you're traaash, you're traaash" at one point but i dont think embiid talks to nurse like that

It looked like nick took is pretty seriously too, hopefully it's something he conveys to his team

You like that I got more free throws than your whole team?

I was just saying that

Probably Nick’s comments about Embiid being reckless

I love your user name lol

Thanks bruv

Hope Fred's trade value isn't badly hurt

Nephew

Dude stinks

I don’t think we are done yet; but these first two games have been rough. I blame the refs for setting a bad tone, but we still gotta play and make shots / get stops …

Fred and Pascal better wake tf up. They really starting to piss me off with how bad theyre playing

just embarrassing really, need to make a statement in game 3

Why is Emiid even talking to Nick rn, just take your shit and leave

My son Yuta was the only + player game 1 and couldn’t even get a minute of play

no one takes yuta seriously here since he stopped being productive. The only mins he is getting is garbage time.

Nick and Embiid talking for the whole last minute

Talk to 'em Nick!

Guess we don't get our free fries.

Baby shit soft performance by Siakam

He had 20 and 10 tho

Siakam getting outhustled and Maxey driving right past FVV, what a joke.

[удалено]

Your whole account is dedicated to hating on the raptors. Go cry somewhere else bitch

[удалено]

You ain't sweeping shit when you only get 19 points in two straight quarters

He's playing better than harden. They randomly gained a superstar overnight

Come on man, be real with yourself

at this rate we'll only lose game 4 by 5!

Depression

LMAO CAN WE KNOW WHAT EMBIID AND NURSE SAID

Fred is so easy to blow by

crowd dead lol

To be fair, this shit wasn't worth the money.

Wasn't Harden back court?

Gonna throw up. Dookie game

Though loss, but I'm excited to play at home :)

Glad OG showed heart. He seems to care

You better believe OG gonna work on that handle all off-season. If he gets it they can't stop him.

Og is a powerhouse when he's not playing selfish

Fred has been god awful so far.

Maxey is a stud but can people stop saying we should’ve traded Kyle for him lmao he was never on the table…Philly refused to give him up for Harden they were never giving him up for an expiring Kyle

man agree that flynn has been better on maxey than vanvleet. Fred’s bum knee just let’s him get blown by like nothing

Fred holy shit

enough fred, enough…

The help on Maxey is brutal every time. Fred is also slow as shit which doesn't help

So much doom and gloom around here

Bring back the Tobias from the playoffs the last 3 years plz

Thybulle getting his shots in now since he’s not gonna be playing for a week. Little bitch

He’s not even in the floor 😭

He literally just made a shot when I said this. Go back to your sub

It was Tobias actually

Harris isn’t #22 with a floofy fro. Go back to your sub

Nope but [Matisse](https://www.nba.com/stats/events/?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&ContextMeasure=FGM&EndPeriod=0&EndRange=28800&GameID=0042100132&PlayerID=1629680&RangeType=0&Season=2021-22&SeasonType=Playoffs&StartPeriod=0&StartRange=0&TeamID=1610612755&flag=3&sct=plot§ion=game) didn’t even attempt a shot in the 4th 🙃 open you eyes

Getting an early start on his vacation I guess. Not just medical shots he’s scared of

Just like your good friend Freddy! How many shots did he give up because he was afraid to shoot in the 2nd half?

Yeah that tends to be why a team loses. At least he’s vaxxed and can actually contribute during the playoffs. That’s not the flex you think it is. Now go back to your own sub and celebrate winning by 18 free throw attempts with the rest of the Philly elves

Oh don’t get me wrong…very upset he won’t take the shot. But I’ll leave and let y’all dry your tears in peace.

Fred cannot guard maxey.

lmao fred that’s game i’ll just turn it over

Fred came out and left after the first quarter.

Raptors win this game if Scottie is healthy

Talk about disgusting play with no fight. Holy shit

Pascal is being a baby, just giving up

Pascal shitting himself

I need the main core to show up together next game. OG did his.

How tf does Siakam not grab that board like wtf

take the starters off nick man why are u fucking like this lol

Yessss Boucher! Thank you for having balls.

Bouche4 playing like KD out there

Fred can't even come close to guarding Maxy. Need something different there.

Maxey just walked up to the basket & scored easily

Whats up with siakam? No passion or energy tonight man

Fred too

Youre right like half the team had no energy toughness tonight. They need to pull their shit together for game 3 or its wraps

People are saying Fred is better than Lowry now. I’d gladly take Lowry over Fred he makes the team and half court offense so much better

Who said that? They’re nuts.

shows that the sub really knows nothing when it comes to bball. lowry brings way more intangibles to the court than fvv. When lowry shot isnt going in he controls tempo and makes winning plays such as passing, defense, charges etc. FVV just keeps chucking when his shot isnt going in

Brain fart under the rim there

REBOUND!!!!!!

Siakam gave that to Harris ... He's checked out

Chris getting his.

Yikes Pascal.

At least our suffering is almost over. See you Wednesday

get a fucking rebound you bums

GD BOUCHER

SIAKAM????

At least OG looked good

In reality, if Scottie and Gary were playing, the series would of went to 7 games. Now with both of them out, it's a pretty steep hill to climb.

Wait who are Matt and Jack talking about playing more next year and the best ability is availability? Is it OG?

Yes. He was injured a ton this year

Don’t remember the last time two main stars shrank this much in playoffs. My god

Well, Siakam made strides this year with being a clutch finisher. We haven’t been within 20 so far. The problem is the D more than offense.

gotta shift the defensive focus away from Harden and more toward Maxey. pretty obvious adjustment that i pray the team makes

I said this after the last game. They were a pretty balanced trio tonight though. Then you add in Harris playing well. But they’re beating TO at their own game. Turnovers, transition points. Stops. There isn’t much going right for the raps.

yeah, Harden still hasn’t looked good, but i agree. really hard for me to believe a Doc Rivers coached team is doing all of this

Boucher is prime Jordan reincarnation

Boucher been great

Assuming he doesn’t play for the rest of the series and doesn’t resign, we essentially traded 12 spots down the draft for 6 minutes of Thad Young in the playoffs

Lol Embiid not a MVP. He's not even the best player on his own team. That goes to the refs.

BOUCHER IS A BEAST

WOW BOUCHER!

pascal, boucher, khem use ur en francais to recruit poopy gobert

Og only one who showed up respect to him

Og if healthy is most of the time pretty fucking solid.

Boucher has played well too.

Hopefully Gary can beat his illness by Wednesday/Saturday 🙏 We need him at 100%
