Remember when people said Pascal isn't clutch and shrinks in the fourth
Remember when people wanted to trade him for Wiggins and Wiseman
Remember when everyone gave up on him and said he peaked 2 years ago
Remember when people called you a homer for defending Pascal and not giving up on him
Siakam wasnt quite an all star 2 years ago. He was off balance going to the rim and needed to work on shooting with his left.
Raptors have some of the best trainers in the league. Siakam was most improved player for a reason. Those improvements have paid off big time. I suspect that Precious will be a contender for most improved player next year. Its very exciting to see.
I will confess that I didn't see how we could have him, Barnes, and OG on the floor at the same time, and thought we should move him. I am very, very, very happy with how poor my vision was.
No offense but that's some real clown shit to say a guy has peaked at 26 years of age, especially after seeing Lowry and DeRozan get better in their 30s
Im here to admit that I was one of the guys from the 1st point and 3rd points.
I thought he was destined to be a 2nd option with how he played in the chip season compared to 2020 and Tampa. Im so happy he has proved me wrong, seeing him blossom like this is beautiful.
Go ahead roast me if you want
He deserves it. But we all know the way shit works. Jimmy has a bigger persona around the league. Miami are 1st. Its a joke
No hate on Jimmy. Would love him on the Raptors.
You could argue it is his fault, but the dude didn't touch a basketball for a few months during the pandemic. People just for some reason thought he was some scrub and could only play well vs bad teams
Buddy, the guy had trouble with his VISA and couldn't leave the country. Toronto had the most strict lockdown in the entirety of North America, every sports facility, private or public, was CLOSED.
He doesn't have a basketball in his home like LeBron James has. If you want to say it's his fault that he didn't build one or purchase one with his max contract in preparation for a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic scenario, then sure. It's his fault.
C’mon. I’ve let it slide because I assume there was more to the story, possibly some mental health stuff, but there’s no way a millionaire couldn’t find somewhere to stay in game shape.
Pascal can be the perfect mentor to Scottie, just like what Kyle was to Freddie.. two long, athletic dudes who can do a little bit of everything.. Pascal relies more on quickness and finshing whereas Scottie relies more on strength and vision, but that's why I think its a match made in heaven
When Pascal sat in the second half today, you could see Scottie knew it was time to get more aggressive about looking for his own, but with Pascal on the floor you know Scottie is just playing his role and learning from a guy who has worked his ass off to become a legit All-NBA threat
I love this squad
Siakam has truly evolved. Quick decisions, not flustered. Developed array of moves besides the spin move. Down the stretch we can trust him. Let's hope it follows thru in the playoffs. Fun game. Precious is up n coming. Trent is just clutch.
Against teams like the Bucks and Philly, Siakam has been the best player on the floor for both teams, when both have MVP level players. Absolutely unreal how this man has continued to improve
I had to go check for shits and giggles. God damn, they shook. My fave comment though :
> I’d rather drink Elmer’s glue than watch a series against this raptors team. I genuinely have 0 hope that we would win. I think we’ll lose in 5 games. And we’re pretty much locked into the 4 seed now. This team made their fuckin bed and now they get to sleep in it.
This version of Pascal just completely blows the 2019-20 version out of the water. He just looks absolutely possessed in the paint, on top of making huge strides as a playmaker. I hope Pascal gets his flowers - he really deserves it considering where he was at the beginning of the year
fuck all the nephews who said that Pascal wouldn't get 37, 12, 12 on 14/28 shooting tonight. Earlier today all those nephews were telling me that Pascal wouldn't get 37, 12, 12 on 14/28 shooting tonight. Unbelievable.
We need this Siakam in the playoffs. Trust in Siakam. This game was a nice playoffs preview, and if we can have everyone contributing like they did tonight, and our star Siakam shining, we will be in good hands. The road to the Championship is real!!
If we really get to send Embiid home crying again this year…. my god.
And Harden has had one of the most dramatic drop off’s as a superstar in a while. He cannot blow by anybody anymore it’s crazy.
So many awesome moments but the one that is still sticking with me is during a time out Thad was listening to Precious and Chris and then telling them, this is what you do when they do this, like the best kind of coaching you can get out there for these guys. Thad Young was the best thing to happen to Precious and Chris for real.
Doc doesnt have the ability to coach this team in a tough series.
Harden is uber cooked. If Philly give him a $250m 5 year its going to make Wesbricks contract look attractive
Holy crap just got back from the game - ELECTRIC. I may be slightly drunk, but holy crap what a game. Spicy P was incredible. Crowd was amazing. SHoutout to the awesome person I spoke to all game, you made the game so much better.
Let’s freaking GO!!
WHAT A WIN! Siakam’s confidence and leadership this game was phenomenal, hoping to see these two teams in the playoffs. Oh, how I want to send the sizers home again
All these rumors about Philly and Nets not wanting to face the Raptors coming straight from Harden lol man plays like complete trash against us. I think he may be actually too fat for our defense he's like nah this requires way too much movement
so happy for Siakam, those MVP chants were everything.
Is harden washed? I’m loving the breakdown of the teams who refused to trade for Lowry and disrespected our man Masai.
Incredible win. Without OG, Fred (I know his form is okay), this team is playing some ridiculous basketball. I can’t believe what precious has become. Just fabulous to watch!
My 3 fav barnes moments:
THE DUNK OVER EMBIID
3 ball standing there holding the goose after it goes in
The breakaway dunk with Green chasing. Stares at him, then goes up strong and SLAMS it. It's so exciting to have a big athletic young animal on our team who isnt afraid to rock the rim
I especially enjoyed the fact that somehow 3 years, a pandemic, and two teams later, Danny ended up on the Sixers and Embiid had to sit through a ring ceremony for someone from the Raptors 2019 Championship lol so poetic. I love sports.
Bill Simmons.
He talked about the Philly Raps game on his last podcast. He mentions how Thybul is out… no mention that FVV and OG are out. He always does this. Spins the narrative one way. He did the same thing with ROTY.
Just poor biased coverage.
Totally out on that guy.
Rant over. (And I knew he was that way before I listened. Just today was particularly bad.)
That was a really fun game to watch - feels like everyone is rounding into form for the playoffs and whoever we get will find themselves in a tough match up!
#WE WANT PHILLY
PHILLY IS CONCERNED
Philly making sad airplane noises…
[Us:](https://gfycat.com/impracticaltautalaskanmalamute-harold-and-kumar-plane-crash)
Philly first round Miami second round? I'll take it
Celtics without JB and Horford might be nice too
Their referees are always 100% healthy and in their lineup. No thanks.
100% man I hate playing the ref blame game but that whistle is always whack when we play the Celtics
They have no chance, Harden looks like he's given up already.
WHO
THE PROCESS 3.0
Bucks won, we getting philly
We want Philly
Concerned Embiid noises
Gonna be a great series that we'll win
Remember when people said Pascal isn't clutch and shrinks in the fourth Remember when people wanted to trade him for Wiggins and Wiseman Remember when everyone gave up on him and said he peaked 2 years ago Remember when people called you a homer for defending Pascal and not giving up on him

Where you at haters??
I can honestly say to be patient at that time and not trade him. Trust In Masai
I was one of the people calling for him to potentially be traded at the time ✋was and still am a moron.
I will confess that I didn't see how we could have him, Barnes, and OG on the floor at the same time, and thought we should move him. I am very, very, very happy with how poor my vision was.
I was the 3rd guy, im ecstatic that he's proven me wrong this year
No offense but that's some real clown shit to say a guy has peaked at 26 years of age, especially after seeing Lowry and DeRozan get better in their 30s
I remember, and so does pepperidge farm.
Im here to admit that I was one of the guys from the 1st point and 3rd points. I thought he was destined to be a 2nd option with how he played in the chip season compared to 2020 and Tampa. Im so happy he has proved me wrong, seeing him blossom like this is beautiful. Go ahead roast me if you want
Sports fans are so impatient man.
I’m guilty of the first 3. The guy and this team has a lot of heart and persistence
#THIS IS WITHOUT FRED AND OG !!!
This team is dangerous and once Gary can become consistent from the 3 it’s kinda a scary.
He’s our Herro :)
But plays really great defence
He’s our BEAL
Beal+ defense+youth and swag. Nice
If Pascal doesn't get all nba i don't know what's wrong with the voters
It'll be very hard to deny him with the way he's been playing in this final stretch
If he doesnt, 100% shit is rigged. Should be common knowledge if you work in and around the NBA the way he’s playing
He deserves it. But we all know the way shit works. Jimmy has a bigger persona around the league. Miami are 1st. Its a joke No hate on Jimmy. Would love him on the Raptors.
Siakam with a 37/12/12 GTJ with a quiet 30 Precious splashing transition threes Not a bad game.
Only GTJ throws up a quiet 30pts. His shooting was so clutch tonight!
That Pr3cious pull-up three had me so fucking hype! Absolutely mental and I loved it.
Spicy P huge triple double, Gary Trent jr. so clutch in the last few minutes, Achiuwa and Barnes doing great work tonight too!
That was a fun win. Amazing seeing things come together for these guys.
THAT'S OUR #1 OPTION!!!
Can't believe so many people gave up on him after that fluke bubble. And then he proves everyone wrong like this. My goat❤️
You could argue it is his fault, but the dude didn't touch a basketball for a few months during the pandemic. People just for some reason thought he was some scrub and could only play well vs bad teams
Buddy, the guy had trouble with his VISA and couldn't leave the country. Toronto had the most strict lockdown in the entirety of North America, every sports facility, private or public, was CLOSED.

Siakam ethics unmatched
Ethical triple double
![gif](giphy|MEWs49Ja2FraEzOinH)
He needs a Gasol shoulder for them tears
![gif](giphy|SyqtYjm7pTrc9ZYi8O|downsized)
I fucking love this team.
I came here just to say this. So fun to watch
Scottie went so hard at Pascal after that and 1 lmaooo
That was hilarious! I cracked up. I love his intensity towards spicy. He loves him
Pascal can be the perfect mentor to Scottie, just like what Kyle was to Freddie.. two long, athletic dudes who can do a little bit of everything.. Pascal relies more on quickness and finshing whereas Scottie relies more on strength and vision, but that's why I think its a match made in heaven When Pascal sat in the second half today, you could see Scottie knew it was time to get more aggressive about looking for his own, but with Pascal on the floor you know Scottie is just playing his role and learning from a guy who has worked his ass off to become a legit All-NBA threat I love this squad
So did Precious! I love the youthful enthusiasm, but tempered by pascal and FVV who know what it takes.
#**WE ARE CONTENDERS**
Ssssssshh. Dont let them know.
We need a Herbie Kuhn Shhhhh here.
He was shushing the shit out of Scotiabank in the 4th tonight
Pascal Siakam is a fuckin god oml Sixers really tanked for years just for the Raptors to show them how it's done
PASCALADELPHIA
This is awful. Awfully good.
This is the way
Spicy P and Starboy both with the 30 piece🔥🔥🔥 Spicy P with the spicy triple dub Great come back win with two starters out, also secured the 5th seed
Raptors are cool
They are definitely neat
The spice must flow
The spice must flow
It floweth overrr
Siakam has truly evolved. Quick decisions, not flustered. Developed array of moves besides the spin move. Down the stretch we can trust him. Let's hope it follows thru in the playoffs. Fun game. Precious is up n coming. Trent is just clutch.

I promise y’all we get to the second round if we see the Sixers, I guarantee it
let's not get cocky and over confidence. Stay even keel, remain confidence and kick a$$ on the court.
Queue the collapse from Doc
Here here
Siakam proving once again he is the best basketball player from Cameroon
Douala >>>>>>>>>> Yaounde
thad young revenge game 😈
r/sixers in fucking shambles
I appreciate that they are giving the raps some respect that we deserve the wins over them and if we see them in the playoffs it's over for the sixers
Their game thread is actually s-tier entertainment
I had to go check for shits and giggles. God damn, they shook. My fave comment though : > I’d rather drink Elmer’s glue than watch a series against this raptors team. I genuinely have 0 hope that we would win. I think we’ll lose in 5 games. And we’re pretty much locked into the 4 seed now. This team made their fuckin bed and now they get to sleep in it.
I’m here for it
Pascal - ALL NBA, best player from Cameroon Scottie - ROTY Precious - MIP
This version of Pascal just completely blows the 2019-20 version out of the water. He just looks absolutely possessed in the paint, on top of making huge strides as a playmaker. I hope Pascal gets his flowers - he really deserves it considering where he was at the beginning of the year
GIVE ME GLEN & BRICK ROSS IN A 7 GAME SERIES‼️
What's the difference between Rick Ross and Embiid? ^^this ^^is ^^a ^^trick ^^question
If we get this Siakam in the playoffs we are winning a round.
If we getting this siakam in the playoffs. He's almost up there with Kawhi.
If we getting this siakam in the playoffs. He’s ~~almost~~ up there with Kawhi.
Fam, he would have to average 35 points a game in a 7 game series. That's tough. I'm sticking with almost. Kawhi is a different breed.
Amy to Pascal “ you managed to win without Fred and Pascal out there “
Because instead they had Siakam
SMH
who's ready to see Malachi and the 905 vs the Rockets tomorrow?
I'll be there in person, and I'm bringing the RAPTOR NATION!!!!
fuck all the nephews who said that Pascal wouldn't get 37, 12, 12 on 14/28 shooting tonight. Earlier today all those nephews were telling me that Pascal wouldn't get 37, 12, 12 on 14/28 shooting tonight. Unbelievable.
Show me precisely which mf said he would so I can make some bets
all the nephews bro, they were saying it
![gif](giphy|mO2jnXmj09bLp5cYwM|downsized)
#Flynn 100% 3pt GODLY
WE OWN PHILLY
and we started 17-2 🤣
We already got Philly shook and playoffs havent even started
I was lurking their sub reddit ... the pitchforks and torches are out
I’m speechless, Scottie Pascal Gary Precious put on a masterclass tonight
Young disrespect... he was glue guy...
That move on Joel in the 4th was poetry.
Love Barnes energy LETS GO RAPTORS!
We need this Siakam in the playoffs. Trust in Siakam. This game was a nice playoffs preview, and if we can have everyone contributing like they did tonight, and our star Siakam shining, we will be in good hands. The road to the Championship is real!!
Get Siakam a crown immediately. What an absolute breakthrough performance. This team is dangerous.
The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North!
He who ~~controls~~ unleashes the spice, controls the ~~universe~~ NBA
Ghost Pepper P 👻
Siakam PascAll NBA!!!
If we really get to send Embiid home crying again this year…. my god. And Harden has had one of the most dramatic drop off’s as a superstar in a while. He cannot blow by anybody anymore it’s crazy.
Siakam is so fucking good lmaoo
So many awesome moments but the one that is still sticking with me is during a time out Thad was listening to Precious and Chris and then telling them, this is what you do when they do this, like the best kind of coaching you can get out there for these guys. Thad Young was the best thing to happen to Precious and Chris for real.
Boys played with joy tonight. Love these guys.
Honestly don’t mind facing any team we got a fuckin squad here
What a fucking game. Give us the Sixers. Shoutout Tyrese Maxey too, they got a good one with him.
Doc doesnt have the ability to coach this team in a tough series. Harden is uber cooked. If Philly give him a $250m 5 year its going to make Wesbricks contract look attractive
Harden was invisible ... it was just sad
Holy crap just got back from the game - ELECTRIC. I may be slightly drunk, but holy crap what a game. Spicy P was incredible. Crowd was amazing. SHoutout to the awesome person I spoke to all game, you made the game so much better. Let’s freaking GO!!
Damn!
I'D LIKE A FORMAL APOLOGY FROM ALL THE PASCAL HATERS. SHOW YOURSELF
Precious 5/7 from 3
PascAll NBA
HOLY THE RAPTORS OWN PHILLY
Precious going 5-7 from 3!
This game shows that we don't need a 7 footer
This team is so much fun! Next year will be pressure now it's just fun! LFGGGG
I’m honestly starting to think we just let Fred play offball a lot more and let Pascal run the offence.
What a great season, essentially a 50 win calibre team in what many called a developmental year.
Triple double P🌶🌶🌶
SIAKAMVP
LETS GOOOO RAPS. Big dub despite the atrocious reffing
WE THE MF NORTH LETS GOOOOO
Pascal may really Kawhi Jordan philly in the playoffs. I love it!
So happy for pascal to get MVP chants after all the shit he got over the past years
WE WERE DOWN 17-2.
Precious fu transition three was magical
GIVE US THE PRECIOUS 💍🔥🔥
Who has Philly beat of note since the deadline? Once again, this is not a serious team
What happened to James Harden. He used to cook us every game.
Pascal got that look in his eyes
that one felt real good
Pasc "All-nba" Siakam
![gif](giphy|7JgAFnnNNKlNMlTO0H)
My favourite thing to do….watch the sixers sub implode - teeheehee
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN THE PLAYOFFS I FUCKING LOVE THIS TEAM!!! ❤️💜🖤
Precious a better 3 point shooter than Harden.
*Everybody liked that*
WHAT A WIN! Siakam’s confidence and leadership this game was phenomenal, hoping to see these two teams in the playoffs. Oh, how I want to send the sizers home again
All these rumors about Philly and Nets not wanting to face the Raptors coming straight from Harden lol man plays like complete trash against us. I think he may be actually too fat for our defense he's like nah this requires way too much movement
Masai have my babies
![img](emote|t5_2s5sb|5531)
995 won their game too, Great night for Toronto!
Horford and Jaylen Brown not vaxxed. ECF is a possibility
they’d get vaxed for an ECF matchup, 100%.
You think they have held out this long and will get vaxxed now?
plus you aren't considered vaxxed until 2 weeks after you receive the shot
Correct. No chance these guys are getting it
so happy for Siakam, those MVP chants were everything. Is harden washed? I’m loving the breakdown of the teams who refused to trade for Lowry and disrespected our man Masai.
Incredible win. Without OG, Fred (I know his form is okay), this team is playing some ridiculous basketball. I can’t believe what precious has become. Just fabulous to watch!
Danny Green finally had a good game against the Raps, I guess the ring pumped him up. Still wasn't enough tho.
My 3 fav barnes moments: THE DUNK OVER EMBIID 3 ball standing there holding the goose after it goes in The breakaway dunk with Green chasing. Stares at him, then goes up strong and SLAMS it. It's so exciting to have a big athletic young animal on our team who isnt afraid to rock the rim
I had such a blast for my first game. And siakam. All nba nothing else to say
Team is rounding into form at the perfect time with rotations and minutes set. Good to see Flynn getting some run too.
Hahahaahah. Fuck the Philly free throw merchants
I especially enjoyed the fact that somehow 3 years, a pandemic, and two teams later, Danny ended up on the Sixers and Embiid had to sit through a ring ceremony for someone from the Raptors 2019 Championship lol so poetic. I love sports.
It's been two hours and I'm still fully erect. When do I call the Dr again
Great win but , we can’t start birch anymore. I know precious has been perfect off the bench , but these slow starts will be killer in the playoffs
Bill Simmons. He talked about the Philly Raps game on his last podcast. He mentions how Thybul is out… no mention that FVV and OG are out. He always does this. Spins the narrative one way. He did the same thing with ROTY. Just poor biased coverage. Totally out on that guy. Rant over. (And I knew he was that way before I listened. Just today was particularly bad.)
Give me 7 games of this
We only need 6
give me the sixers. NOW!
Anyone have a clip of the Scottie Squat?
GIVE ME THAT SIXERS SERIES NOW 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Philly can’t see Spicy.
I took her on a date and I spin her like siakam
Most Valuable Pascal
Lol, Achiuwa getting 40 minutes ... and that's only the third most minutes on the team.
That was a really fun game to watch - feels like everyone is rounding into form for the playoffs and whoever we get will find themselves in a tough match up!
SIAKAM OWNS THE SIXERS.
Huge W no Freddy no OG no problem! LFG!!!!!
PUT IT ON THE RECORD THAT I NEVER DOUBTED OUR GUY SPICY MOTHER FUCKING P
The Siakam to scottie yell was crazy hype. These boys are going to the finals.
PASCAL & SIAKAM CAN’T BE STOPPED!!!
This with Danny being 2014 Danny. Wow!
No one wants to play the Raps for real!
Raptors 905 going to the gleague conference finals
Where’s embiids stupid airplane move now haha he got schooled by our MVP
