Awful start offensively, should have been up 10 after that Philly drought but not hitting anything.

Ibaka and Siakam needs to stuck to their strengths.

Team didn't show up today, and the lineup sucks right now. Disappointing effort, absolutely no killer instinct.

Does any one trust the Raptors to win a game 7 if they don’t find a way to come back?

I don’t. The team is embarrassing. Where’s the killer instinct outside of Kawhi? Terrible shot selection and movement.

It's strange to think a 10-0 run cost a team the game, but it needed to be a 20-0 run. Sixers were ready to fold, but the Raps didn't feel obliged to take advantage.

Aside from Green nobody can hit the outside shot consistently. And green hasn’t been good. So why not be aggressive down low and look to punish? Instead it’s only avoiding Embiid and settle for the terrible mid range where they’re not planted. Terrible game so far.

Philly not playing great again so disappointing the Raps are shooting like ass. So many open misses.

Soo many swings. As a casual fan, is this normal?

It’s an understatement to stay the only way to gain confidence is to hit shots. And when you’re not hitting the low percentage shots you gotta play down low. Seriously frustrating to see the lack of preparation for the game.

I don't think you can have too many qualms about their shot selection, they've just missed a lot of open looks. I don't buy that they should just start attacking the rim, they aren't forcing things here, they just can't shoot right now.

I think I'd just leave Lowry, Green, Gasol, Ibaka and Powell out there for the whole fourth and just have them shoot jumpers every possession to try and find a rhythm for game seven. Whole performance has been terrible tonight, but if they don't find the shooting they won't win game seven and even if they squeak through they'll get blasted by the Bucks shooting like this.

You think maybe he gave them all some sort of drug that makes them miss open shots?

This is sad.

They've shot like #### all series so it's just another poor defensive effort tonight that's the difference between this being close and a laugher.

Well, I mean, to some extent yes, but 20% from 3 point land is going to be a loss no matter how good your defense is.

If they manage to lose this in 7, where do you even go from there as a franchise.
