Already have 4 picks for tomorrow and feel least confident about this one so I wouldn't be surprised if the Raptors hype gets out of hand and the line moves for them.

Philly has no answer for Leonard...this series should be over quick...backing Philly here takes balls.

Public really have no clue just how good this Raps team really is.

I'm leaning Philly but I really don't have a solid reason. I think Philly will try to pick up the pace forcing Kawhi and Siakam to take shots they wouldn't really want to take. For some reason, Toronto only won by 13 last game but it was a 20 point game once the starters came out so that is a red flag but I think Phili will try to control the game with their most effective weapon Embiid in the post. In the Brooklyn series, they didn't do that in Game 1 and then flipped a switch the rest of the series and made getting Embiid the ball an emphasis. Embiid should be dominant in this game. Philly's talent should keep it close enough and I don't think they get held under 100 again. Butler is still a good defender and believe it or not I don't think he's overmatched this series. That's how I see it plus I actually have faith in Brett Browns coaching from what he did in Round 1 and I don't think Philly gets run off the court again. I still don't think they're going to win but I'll take the points. Hoping it moves to +7 though then I'll like it almost as much as my other plays. Should be a good close game in my eyes an_popcorn

Have to agree it’s just unfortunate that embid is not at full strength or else philly would be going to the finals.

You can’t be serious packers philly not a contender in the east? a healthy philly team would even scare the dubs a bit and even with a half embid this series is far from over but I ain’t complaining cause this just makes it easier for the city

Philly has the talent don't get me wrong but they don't mesh well together at least we haven't seen them mesh well but when you look at the big picture it's only year 2 of "the process" so they haven't reached their full potential yet but I got Phili +6.5 because of the talent so I'm on your side haha.

Just wondering people who backing philly game 2. 

Do you guys live in the US? 

And possibly how many raptors games have you tuned into even if its just for 5 minutes during the game?

Because watching regular season and first game in the playoffs it looks like the same story phily just cant figure it out against the Klaw

A healthy Philly would definitely not scare the Warriors

They should watch and limit Embiid's minutes that sounds crazy but I think Philly is better without him sometimes. The smaller guys can run and create space and Emiid always drags his ass getting back on D and he's a liability sometimes. Game 3 at Brooklyn was a good example of them rolling without him

I am serious...Philly has practically no bench compared to Toronto...and Kawhi will show the league just how great he really is over the next 6 weeks...you will see.

The easiest bet in the world tonight is TOR - 3.5 in the first half.  Sixers were down by 9 in game one at the half.  They will be down by 9 or ten at the half tonight as well.  Make your rent money tonight with that play.  It's a 100% winner.
I'm going against the public today with Phili and Denver. I don't care about Kawhi's record against the 76ers this is the playoffs. Gasol might not have been a good matchup in Game 1 but Embiid is good enough to severely outplay Gasol. To your point about Simmons and Redick that couldn't be more wrong. If that was true how did Redick get off 12 3's and Simmons will get his. It's a good thing your bet is 1st half because I can see Phili winning the 1st quarter today.

Kawhi & Siakam shot 75% Game 1, everything dropped. Regression to the mean is a bitccc. Don't tell me the don't have an answer, no one is immune to defense.

The entire league aint ready for Playoff Kawhi...your Philly team just isnt deep enough and has far too many flaws to win this series...keep trusting your process until they bottom out again as soon as Embiid gets out of dodge.
