Siakam deserves a statue just for that
Would the statue just be of his elbow?

He just doesn't want to play because he knows he's gonna lose anyways.... Just excuses piled on top of excuses.
100% he would have played a Game 7.

Its funny seeing Philly fans crying and calling Raptors fans classless because they cheered when Siakam unintentionally injured Embiid. (Especially when in the same breath theyre all calling for Siakam's head next time the Raptors are in Philly)
As if they are some respectful fanbase who has never booed or cheered against an opponent. Philly as a city is definitely not known for doing that...
Anyway, not losing any sleep that Embiid is injured after that series. Couldn't have happened to a better person

Been reading a lot of the end-of-season stuff from the players. Everyone has so many good things to say about the Raptors and playing in Toronto. It's awesome to hear after being such an undesirable place for many players over the years. Obviosuly some will still favor playing in LA, NY, etc; but at least we are seeing a little bit of a culture change.
Yeah I feel we had just started to get that after the championship, but then Covid/playing in Orlando hit so we lost a lot of that momentum as a destination for players. Good to hear its coming back

Yeah, the fans in the building were cheering that Siakam got an and-1 (as called on the floor lol) and got louder because they realized it was Embiid he yammed on. I don't think anyone in the stands realized Embiid was hurt in any way.Its funny seeing Philly fans crying and calling Raptors fans classless because they cheered when Siakam unintentionally injured Embiid.

Now, Jack basically implying karma's a bitch as Embiid was getting iced and treated and as he got the benefit of watching dozens of replays? That, I didn't like. He's better than that and it's fair to hold broadcasters to a higher standard.
But what happened with the fans? Overblown. But of course, after what happened with KD (which I'm not going to bother defending because it was bad), no one is going to be giving us the benefit of the doubt and everyone's just gonna assume that we gleefully cheer solely for player injuries. The solution here is to just not give a rat's ass what others think. Besides, this'll blow over in a week or two.

Can we not give commentators the benefit of the doubt too? Embiid walked it off. Nobody knew he suffered an orbital fracture.

I let some time pass before commenting cause that second half hurt. The 17-0 run, damn. We were right in it at halftime.
Successful season, nice fight shown by the team to rally and win games 4/5. Scottie looks like an absolute gem, hell of a bounce-back season from Siakam. Lots of good things happened this year. Wish it ended on a more positive note but the team shows a lot of potential.
I'd be looking to add some scoring and another ball-handler this off-season. I'm not as keen on a big. Gobert I really don't like as a fit on this team, we don't need someone who can't score even if he is very good on D. If there's a good fit out there, sure, but I wouldn't be forcing it.

Here we go. Lakers have asked the Raps permission to talk to our assistant ?

Report: Lakers ask Raptors for permission to speak to Griffin - TSN.ca
Masai Ujiri might not have any intentions of letting Nick Nurse leave for the Los Angeles Lakers, but Adrian Griffin might be another story. The Athletic's Shams Charania reports the team has asked the Toronto Raptors permission to speak to their assistant coach about their head coaching vacancy.
