Playoff Round 2: Game 6: Raptors at 76ers!

Deep Breath...

• Raptors have a shot at ending it TONIGHT! With a win in Philly the Raptors would advance to the Eastern Conference Finals to face the Milwaukee Bucks. The 76ers aren't just going to lay down and die though. Need a professional approach
• Serge Ibaka got knocked in the head by Kawhi Leonard and came back with an ugly bump and 3 stitches. Played a great game though and will go tonight
• No word on how Embiid is feeling. Philly fans need a big performance from him tonight for their team to have a fighting chance

Playoff Round 2: Game 5: 76ers at Raptors!

Best of 3

• Raptors return home, where the second round playoff series with the Sixers has become a best of three. Since Toronto won on Sunday the series is now tied 2-2
• Joel Embiid, who will likely play tonight, has been reportedly dealing with an upper respiratory infection. It appears he will be a game time decision
• Pascal Siakam who was dealing with a swollen calf on Sunday will play. OG Anunoby is still out after having an emergency appendectimy.

Elton John - "Philadelphia Freedom"

I meant to pick this one a few games ago, better late than never i guess

Smithwick's

It may or may not have been cheap night for Irish beer at the local watering hole. I may or may not have a few Smithwicks tonight.

Series tied 2-2!

Playoff Round 2: Game 4: Raptors at 76ers! (POSTGAME)

Exhale...

• There will be a game 6. Raptors defeated the 76ers 101-96 in game 4 at the Wells Fargo arena in Philadelphia. That brings the series to a tie once again at two apiece.
• Kawhi Leonard had another monster game with 39 points, including a go ahead 3 late in the 4th to essentially seal the game. Pascal had a quiet night, but was unsure if he would play due to a swollen calf
• Joel Embiid was also questionable due to illness, but he did play and was rendered rather quiet compared to his game 3 domination.

Series tied 2-2!

Playoff Round 2: Game 3: Raptors at 76ers!

Philadelphia Freedom!

• Philadelphia tied the series at 1 game a piece on Monday after coach Brett Brown made some great adjustments dealing with the Raptors' offence and a sluggish performance from said offence. Let's see if Toronto can bounce back tonight like they did against Orlando after a loss
• Greg Monroe left game 2 with a sore ankle and did not return. A welcome sight to Toronto fans as he was torching the Raptors' defence, yes that Greg Monroe. Joel Embiid was dealing with stomach issues. Both are likely to play this game
• Kyle Lowry is a Philly kid first and foremost. He gets +1/+1 when playing here. With a little help form his supporting cast I think the Raptors shouldn't have much of a problem tonight. But the playoffs are a different animal and the 76ers fans are rabid! Should be a blast!

Metallica - "For Whom The Bell Tolls"

Philadelphia likes to ring a replica of the Liberty Bell before games. Hence the inspiration for tonight's song. I have a feeling the bell will toll for the home team tonight

Philadelphia Beer

It's a basic name from a similarly basic-named brewing company, The General Investment Company. It's a boring 5%, without a memorable after taste. It won't fill you up so you're left wanting more...

Series tied 1-1!
