Game #44: Philadelphia 76ers 95 - Toronto Raptors 107

[Zak24gege]

Raps 7 point favorites. Seem pretty steep line, vegas expecting a pretty easy win for the good guys.

mmm guess they expect our 1H 3 point shooting resurfaces from the depths of Mordor...?

Control Simmons and it's all over or who will come out of nowhere again to have a career game against us?

Easier said than done (sans Kawhi). Should be interesting to see what Nurse cooks up for driving Ben and 4 shooters. Maybe try to cut him off early?

Gotta put OG and RHJ on him. He's got size and mobility but he can't shoot. So just need long guys that can hustle to slow him down. The first time we played them (the night Embiid put up 0 points), J-Rich went off on us. And we're going to have someone small like Kyle or Fred on him again. So that's the match-up I'm most worried about tonight.

If Embiid was healthy it would be another opportunity for Nurse to test the super-big lineup...doesn't make a huge amount of sense tonight as it would mean Ibaka guarding Harris. If they want to go bigger it would probably be better to start Rondae in place of FVV

Looking at who else is playing tonight, its the "best' game in this slot

Ya agree but seems we don't get the games even when we have the best matchup. Going to be lots of eye balls on the 4th Q as it leads into Zions debut.
Pascal going for 40.

One of those rare games when contact is allowed, great

I never registered that Simmons is 6'10 before.....and I still can't easily recognize that it's OG with the headband out there

Damm non contact for JRich. Very similiar looking to Gasols
