Gary Trent master class: 27/0/0 on 16 shot attempts

Surely there’s a Doc-less light at the end of this tunnel right

PaulTheOctopus · 2022-10-27T02:05:27+00:00

6-76ers by end of year

doctorwormactualworm · 2022-10-27T01:43:27+00:00

Always a fun light hearted matchup between these two teams!

Turbo2x · 2022-10-27T01:44:32+00:00

Sixers transition defense is atrocious

CounterInsanity · 2022-10-27T01:43:35+00:00

The Raptors had an answer for every little run the Sixers tried to put together. Well played by them.

YesWhatHello · 2022-10-27T01:43:30+00:00

Leave Doc in toronto

Sixers might have chemistry issue. Full of individual talents but not getting d W...

shanmustafa · 2022-10-27T01:43:51+00:00

can Maxey just not go left, it feels like everytime he does he picks up his dribble pretty quick

they need to trade Tobias, makes no sense for him to be on this team if this is his role, esp when you can get someone better fitting

JilJungJukk · 2022-10-27T01:47:40+00:00

Embiid must really hate Toronto lol

DEastman · 2022-10-27T01:46:30+00:00

It may be time for another Tobias Harris conversation

Goalnado · 2022-10-27T01:43:57+00:00

Tyrese Maxey is a fucking stud, he's the only reason this was even a contest

slamdunk23 · 2022-10-27T01:44:12+00:00

Point pascal is legit

guffzillar · 2022-10-27T01:53:02+00:00

I think the takeaway was Philly can't defend the Raps When u get Embiid/Maxey and Harden scoring 80 pts and your team shot 50% from the field and u had a 9 foul advantage and you still lose by 10 you've got some team-wide problems

drewk1993 · 2022-10-27T01:49:49+00:00

Best part of the game was siakam talking to pj

pagonator · 2022-10-27T01:44:25+00:00

I've never seen a team look so clueless on rotations and this bad in transition defense

drcanadax · 2022-10-27T01:46:51+00:00

Does GTJ ever pass up a shot? 27 points. 0 assists. 0 rebounds.

enantiornithe · 2022-10-27T01:55:09+00:00

This isn't even the first 13-assist game from Siakam this year
Honestly for a team that struggled with consistency all of last season and through the start of this season, this was just a very heartening game. Not giving up big runs, no moments where the half-court offense just ground to a halt for a whole quarter. They took a 10-point lead and then basically just held that for practically the rest of the game, and every time Philly made a run they were able to figure it out and find (and make) a good shot
Siakam made four straight pull-up threes
Embiid was playing well on offense and absolutely cooking but he did not look like a happy man out there
His level of effort and mobility on defense on the other hand... catastrophic honestly. Barely there as a rim protector, that's on the possessions where he wasn't just not involved at all due to not getting back in transition.
Gary with the double-nothing

Vip_Pwner · 2022-10-27T01:44:55+00:00

Brett brown had a shorter leash with a worse roster than Doc river

kobbled · 2022-10-27T01:55:35+00:00

The raptors played great defense (sixers did not) and the sixers couldn't punish when the ball was doubled out of Harden's hands. Well played by the Raps.

Myrese_Taxey · 2022-10-27T01:44:13+00:00

At this point, I want to lose.

kevpsp101 · 2022-10-27T01:46:10+00:00

13 assists with 1 turnover is a crazy stat line, prime point god numbers as a first option

iamjaydubs · 2022-10-27T01:44:39+00:00

Man, who knew the 76ers sucked this bad without Danny Green.....

SamiMadeMeDoIt · 2022-10-27T01:44:11+00:00

Siakam has been unreal to start the year man

His scoring cooled off in the second half but he was still dropping dimes all game long

bigkeys11 · 2022-10-27T01:50:12+00:00

Every loss is one loss closer to Doc’s last game 🙌

mMounirM · 2022-10-27T01:43:21+00:00

The Sixers are now 1-4. That is all

HamstersAreReal · 2022-10-27T02:00:47+00:00

Raptors elite transition offense vs. 76ers putrid transition defense. Raptors had this in the bag.

soldaboy · 2022-10-27T01:47:59+00:00

It's quite sad how far you have to go into this thread to find the 2 most obvious problems on this sixers team

Doc rivers and tobias Harris

cjmaguire17 · 2022-10-27T01:46:38+00:00

I’m not watching another Sixers game until woj tells me doc is fired

beaverlyknight · 2022-10-27T01:48:45+00:00

Anyone who ever put Ben Simmons ahead of Pascal Siakam in a redraft since 2019 should submit their apology forms here

Maxey is really good, also. Hate that guy.

Yankeedud3 · 2022-10-27T01:50:20+00:00

The Sixers perimeter defense is awful. They have an all-nba defender who they are not giving minutes to. This seems like a common sense fix, which is why Doc won’t do it.

xCTRLxALTxDELx · 2022-10-27T01:48:14+00:00

Philadelphia 76ers look like the team to beat. Something the Doc ordered. Harden taking a pay cut to fill the roster with marquee veterans. GM Morey should have a statue of himself built.

zgamer200 · 2022-10-27T01:49:12+00:00

In 99% of games where the Sixers and Raptors square off I'd be rooting for both teams to somehow lose, but not gonna lie, really wanted to see the Sixers fall to 1-4 and TOR has delivered for me.

So just for tonight, thanks Raptors.

ESF-hockeeyyy · 2022-10-27T01:45:09+00:00

Man, Sixers fans really hate Raps fans lol

Tacitus_99 · 2022-10-27T01:44:17+00:00

Who is fired first, Dr Glenn Rivers or Steve Nash?

noturaveragesavage · 2022-10-27T01:48:00+00:00

Sixer fans I don’t know how you listen to them consistently but your announcers are TERRIBLE. They’re up there for worst in the league for sure.

SPC54 · 2022-10-27T01:47:23+00:00

Somehow not as close as the score suggests, yet I don’t think we ever had a lead bigger than 14 points.

Raptors took control of the game towards the end of the 1Q and Sixers were stuck playing catch-up all the way to the end.

Sixers defence is fucking putrid.

See you Friday, Philly.

Edit: Biggest lead was 17 points, my bad.

Significant-Media-91 · 2022-10-27T02:02:08+00:00

After this Harris performance we can’t laugh at Simmons for at least four days.

LARGEYELLINGGUY · 2022-10-27T02:59:29+00:00

Was this the most people from cameroon ever in an NBA game?

CaskJeeves · 2022-10-27T03:16:04+00:00

Ric Flair at the game because he's made a career out of watching 280 lb men go flying across the stadium after pretending to be hit

KillerMemestarX · 2022-10-27T04:09:04+00:00

One thing I really love about this Raptors team is how much it feels like every member of the starting lineup is ready to step up for whatever they’re needed for. This game Gary led in points, Pascal led in assists, Barnes led in rebounds, OG led in steals, and FVV of all people led in blocks. I feel like you could swap most of those players for a different one of those stats and it would make sense. There isn’t a definitive top tier superstar, but it feels like there’s not a single weak link in the starting lineup, and it feels like they’re all willing to do whatever’s necessary to contribute to winning.

WiseguyD · 2022-10-27T01:51:53+00:00

I have no notes. Everyone played their role perfectly. Gary with 27 points and no rebounds or assists is hilarious.

Embiid and Maxey always cook us, but the defense on everyone else was great.

Sixers looked a bit lazy out there, I won't lie.

SCOTTlEBARNES · 2022-10-27T01:43:51+00:00

I honestly don't think there's a team I feel happier beating than the sixers

Electronic-Elk8917 · 2022-10-27T01:46:24+00:00

May be that's on Doc, but the Sixers should just trade Harris for role players if they don't use him. Just wasting 30+ mil for someone who is an average defender and is not even touching the ball on offense.

volantredx · 2022-10-27T01:49:30+00:00

I asked this in the game thread but it bears repeating, how did the 6ers win the Ben trade and end up worse?

Par25 · 2022-10-27T01:50:13+00:00

Don't worry Sixers fans, I'm sure Doc is working on some big adjustments for Friday
