Game# 3: 76ers at Raptors - Saturday, October 28 @ 7:30pm EST

Nick Nurse is back! Let's give him his flowers for helping us get our first championship.

The Raptors and 76ers face off for the first time this season. This will be the third game for the Raptors as they come off a grueling loss on the road to the Bulls in overtime. The 76ers are also coming off a loss against the Bucks, but unlike the Raptors have a day of rest coming into this game.

The 76ers will be without James Harden who doesn't like their team president and they in return do not want him to travel with the team. The Raptors may be without OG who was suffering with muscle spasms. He is considered questionable.

Three keys to victory:

1) Stop Tyrese Maxey.
2) Make Joel Embiid work on defense to tire him out. His new coach may play him 48 minutes.
3) Bench Malachi Flynn

Let's go Raptors!

Three keys to victory:

1) Stop Tyrese Maxey. Good luck
2) Make Joel Embiid work on defense to tire him out. His new coach may play him 48 minutes. Unfortunately no Raptor can make him work on D
3) Bench Malachi Flynn Bench our Maxey stopper? He bulked up specifically for that purpose. LOL

OG is ruled out. So yeah this should be fun.

Really gonna need a wing off the bench to step up with OG out. Think Mcdaniels can help with the defense, but maybe Otto can get some run tonight to try and knock down some 3 pointers

[planetmars]

Starting Porter would be a nice twist.. Darko is kind of weird though. Benches Boucher in the first game, and then rides him in the second half and OT last night.

I suspect Gary starts though. Barnes slides to the 3 I guess. Although we don't really play positions like that.

If Barnes gets another triple double this is a win. Missing O G is a big negative. Hopefully Nurse doesn’t become a big winner against the Raps like Casey. Let’s get this started right against Nurse.

[bertarapsfan]

Scottie got that type of range now?

[MixxAOR]

Refs screwing Raps because they hate Nurse even though Nurse is on Sixers lol

[bertarapsfan]

Gary!

GTJ revenge game.

Embiid is so wack. Just throws himself on the ground. Never seen a 7 footer fall over so easily.

Embiid is so wack. Just throws himself on the ground. Never seen a 7 footer fall over so easily.

It’s amazing how a guy who is 7’2” 300lbs just needs a light breeze to knock him off balance. Completely the opposite of Shaq.

Bench was really flat yesterday. Chris and gradey provided energy and shot making tn. Mich better
