Didn’t deserve to win anyway. Getting owned on the offensive boards by the likes of Ibaka and Kyle Lowry.

It is also an easy decision for management to fire Brett Brown. Three possessions out of a timeout and twice they’re called for shot clock violations.

Was Ben afraid to touch the ball that quarter?

Also max Jimmy and let Tobias walk. Trading Landry Shamet for that guy was a huge blunder.

Didn’t deserve to win ?? It came down to one shot ? (frank) that’s a little harsh.

Ratcliffe 4 points in Guelphs 8-3 game 6 win. OHL champions. Ratcliffe has an absolute filthy dangle in traffic for a goal and a between the legs assist
- Just5



4 point game. He is showing he can continue to compete when the games tighten. His stock is booming now.

It's a valid comment. Klaw goes 16 out of 39 and no one on Toronto wanted to do anything, you got to take advantage of that.

Turnovers, bad 4th quarter offense, not boxing out, just really no one stepped up in a big game, they were extremely lucky it came down to a final shot.

Rats is really impressive. I’m thinking at this point , considering his skill and size, he is closer to the bigs than either Frost or Farabee.
- Djapana


Well, he is a different type of player then them. But big with hands like that. I’m very interested in him.

Yet Farabee and Frost are very interesting prospects too. Hope at least one of them can jump into the top six in the next couple years.

Rubs and Cates are guys I think can help our bottom six in the next couple years.

I’d love to get his center Suzuki away from the Canadiens.

Yeah. That kid Suzuki is hard on the puck. But if I had to choose between the two of them for the Flyers pipe line I’m happy to have Rat

You got the feeling that Toronto was a little further ahead as a contender and they knew what they needed to do in crunch time. Sixers have more talent, but the Raptors were better prepared and coached....ultimately that was the difference.

Something about a 6’6” winger that has good hands is very appealing.

Hope he continues to grow as a hockey player. He is getting lots of experience in the OHL playoffs now

Toronto's top players, Leonard and Lowry were simply better down the stretch. Siakhem wanted no parts of the ball. Brown calling for a high pick and roll with Embiid down the stretch didn't work. Much better choice would've been putting Embiid on the block where the Raptors would've doubled down freeing up other players with ball movement.

So weird to see a team have a lead with this many missed shots.

if someone on the team could make a 3 they'd be decent

The 76ers loss came down to a few key things:

Lack of Rebounding, the 3 straight possessions without a damn shot, and coaching. Embiid has no business playing majority of a possession at the 3 line especially when the guy draws fouls. We have the better talent on paper and had this series, and this game.

I’ll gladly take Boldy, Caufield, or newhook at 11

Bottom line is that this draft has some decent talent that will be around for that 11th pick. It would be tough to trade that pick. It is better then most 11th overall draft picks for sure.

Caufield will be long gone before the Flyers make their selection.

Probably. It sucks that the giants aren’t one of the teams picking in front of us

Not sure what a football team has to do with it. But ok. When the Giants championship drought reaches 44 years let me know. I'll be waiting.

Couldn't tell if this was a shot at the Giants for reaching on Daniel Jones or that a team named the Giants would never take a 5'7 player

Sixers at least figured out to stick him under the basket if his defender is going to be there anyway. Reminds me of what my 8th grade basketball coach told me. “Hey kid just go stand under the basket”

Have to be able to make shots. If he's not getting to the rim, he can't score. How is this guy not in the gym 8 hours a day taking 2000 jump shots?

Noel swing and a miss
Okafor swing and a miss
Fultz laughable
