Philly spanked Toronto last night. No other way to put it. It was a bloodbath. Outside of Kawhi and another 30+ point effort, the Raptors got completely out classed. They handed Toronto it’s fire wire to wire loss of the season. If you’re like me, you can’t wait for Sunday at 3:30. I just don’t see how the Raptors get back in this series. They look like a team that is about to come completely unglued, if they didn’t already last night.
Game 4 is key though, this is step on the throat game. Win on Sunday and Toronto folds in game 5 and it’s on the the ECFs. So since we don’t have a game until Sunday I thought I’d put together some of the best from Sixers Twitter and just overall highlights/appreciation.
Enjoy Sixers fans

Jimmy Butler telling Joel to shot the 3’s and take us home was a moment for sure

“Take us home. Take us home”
For all those who said Jimmy Butler was a lockeroom problem 🤷♂️ he is this team’s leader

Would love to have been in the locker room when a hyped up and most likely half buzzed Allen Iverson bursts through the doors
