    Need the Raptors to win this so Butler can bail and come home to Tomball. :D

    Raptors. Sixers are immature and inconsistent. It’ll bite them against a like Toronto that actually has some talented players around a superstar.

    Raptors in 6 only because Lowry is hurt and it’s still the Raptors, or else I’d say 5.

    Raptors have the deeper team and more mature team. Granted, neither one of them has really done much but Raptors do have Kawhi who has that deep playoff run experience. Plus you know that Embiid's health will come into play and he will probably miss a game due to this.

    This Raptors team has a lot more resiliency than years past, plus they're significantly deeper than the Sixers. With that being said, Philly will be a tough place to play, and the Raptors still aren't a formidable road team IMO. I expect Embiid and Simmons to have big games on their home court to extend the series. Raptors in 7.

    Just look at Simmons numbers vs Kawhi and Embiids numbers vs Gasol.

    Raptors are a match up nightmare for the sixers.

    I really think Raptors will come out the East. Kawhi, Marc and Serge all have lots of playoff experience in the West where things are just tougher. If Lowry has a decent series, they shouldn't have a problem against Philly.

    Should be a good series, but I can't see the 76ers beating the Raps...They've had their number all season and now that Kawhi is healthy they should do it in 5 or 6 games tops.

    Kawhi is so tough...great smooth shot. Sort of Durant-like when he elevates.

    Kawahi too much to handle for Jimmy Butler.

    Tobias Harris is their main guy on the Perimeter.

    Raptors in 6. Jj Reddick is gonna slow down 76ers, and James Ennis off the bench is a laughable option but Ennis is only option off the bench.
