Game 81: 76ers at Raptors

Last home game of the year as the Philadelphia 76ers come to town. Raptors already have the Atlantic Division locked up, but it's another Division rivalry game on a Tuesday night


  • Dwane Casey says he's not resting anyone tonight except James Johnson who has a sore foot. That means Scola is back and Carroll is playing too. Casey is likely making sure everything is firing properly when the Playoffs roll around on Saturday.
  • The Philadelphia 76ers recently announced they've hired ex-Raptor GM Bryan Colangelo as their new General Manager, after their previous one stepped down. Colangelo walked away from Toronto after Masai Ujiri was brought in to replace him, even after BC was offered another role in the organization. Quite a few fans speak real low about Colangelo but he is the one who drafted DeMar DeRozan, Valanciunas, Terrence Ross and brought us Kyle Lowry. Though he hung on to Andrea Bargnani too long and tried to wedge Rudy Gay into an already imperfect setting.
  • Philly fans are hoping for a new approach next season as lately their "lose now draft high" strategy has seen them at the very bottom of the league again. Maybe Bryan Colangelo can make things happen where Henkie couldn't

Boyz II Men - "Motown Philly"

This is an obscure, more upbeat than usual song for the Philadelphia natives Boyz II Men. Note the spelling on those please. Though they would become more widely known for their emotional ballads about love and heartbreak, it's good for them to show they were capable hip-hop artists as well.


Raptors 2nd in East 54-26! Sixers 15th in East 10-70!
