Do the Raptors tie the series at 3-3 on Thursday? Game 6 Poll

[rake922]

No NBA has ever come back to win a series after being down 0-3, so that Raptors are starting to believe they'll be the first ever...

Phili 76ers lead the series at 3 games to 2 and can eliminate the Raptors

[EGrecu]

absolutely. I'm expecting 2 epic meltdowns by harden - something like 7 and 8 turnovers next 2 games, 2 of 14 combined from 3

What if Refs are on phili

[Headsterx]

I just want to see Game 7 as we only have one game slated for Saturday so far.

Refs are always on Philly. Don't mean they will win.

[IBetYou]

I think Sixers win tonight. If they don't then anything goes.

[IBetYou]

These are the Sixers we Sixers backers expected to see... more or less.

[IBetYou]

Harden vs Butler in the next round. Last time they met it was the Rockets vs T'Wolves (4-1 I think). Perceptions have changed a fair bit since then about these two...

philly doesn't have a chance imo. injured embiid who can't rebound much anymore. a ton of offensive rebounds by the raptors
it'll be miami vs boston or milwaukee for the eastern conference, most likely boston, as middleton is out

Embiid is fine. Torn ligament in his thumb is no excuse for his sloppy play in game 4. Showed it tonight. HEAT are not special. Very perimeter oriented team. People giving them too much credit for having a few more regular season wins that the rest.

[IBetYou]

Embiid has an orbital fracture. OUT indefinitely... OK that's a real injury now.

Yeah it's like I said the guy is fragile. I had the Raptors to win the series small at +900, Embiid got injured in the 4q when the 6ers were way up.

You think the 6ers still got a shot without Embiid vs the Heat?

Not without him for the full series but I think they can steal game 1. I like the youngster Reed. I expect they will have Milsap backing him up -or maybe even reverse that order. They both have the speed to stay in front of Bam whereas DJ does not -can't trust that fool be fully engaged anyway. Harden & Maxey will get all the shots they like while Embiid is sidelined.

Probably go with a frontline rotation of Harris/ Niang/ Reed actually, with Reed starting. Milsap is washed.

Sounds like they're going to have to hit 3s. To state the obvious. Is the real James Harden going to show up. Maxey is a wild player who can look like utter s hit or an all star.

Lowry is OUT for game 1.

Butler is like Harden, which version of Jimmy Butler is going to show up. Supposedly dealing with a knee issue.

Sometimes these teams show up when their star is gone.

Embiid is again trying to play for France in the naturalised spot. What's wrong with this guy? Imagine what it would do for his home country if he got them an Afrobasket medal, and then onto the world stage...

[IBetYou]

Like Bahamian Jonquel Jones joining Bosnia & Herzegovenia and absolutely dominating the Euro competition -only in the women's game there is at least a financial incentive to get a Euro passport since it gets you a job! Maybe that's what he's after... a Euro passport for his post-playing days.

[IBetYou]

What'd I say? Don't start DJ! 6-18 start in 4mins with him getting eviscerated by Bam. Reed comes in and takes care of it. Surely those 4mins are the last we see of him this series. Sixers 51-50 at HT
