The Philadelphia 76ers arrives in Toronto, Canada sitting in the #3 slot in the NBA East with a lot of games to be played. The Toronto Raptors sitting with the best W-L in "Logo Watch" has been stellar not counting that last home home an "L" against Mile High Basketball.
For Philly their time is now and "Here They Come" and with the acquisition of one Jimmy Butler is that roster built to make a deep run in the #Fight4Larry dba Larry O'Brien Trophy? They think so as I think they still need one more player in that rotation.
The Raptors are built and folks are seeing what all the rave was with Kawhi Leonard and him being mentioned as one of the Top 5 players in "Logo Watch" and now you get confirmation as he is spectacular specially on how he changes the Raptors from a defensive perspective.

Playbook
Philly's "D" will get tested as the Raptors like to get out but their half-court execution is one of the best in "Logo Watch" and will Jimmy Buckets get the "Klaw" on most possessions?
The Raptors will come out flying especially after that home loss Monday to a Nuggets team that is 50% on the rise and 50% already arrived as the Sixers must be able to sustain a Punch from the home team that could last two frames into intermission.
Sixers Extras vs Raptors Extras as both teams are still experimenting but the Raptors have the edge as they are deeper an Philly at the trade deadline needs to ad a vet or two on that 2nd unit thats a glaring weakness right now in Philly's Armor.
Will the Raptors go with the "Klaw" on Ben Simmons or Siakam and Green among others as stopping the Spalding orange has a whole new meaning with Simmons leading in transition!
Embiid will get a heavy dose of both Serge Ibaka and Jonas Valanciunas and this might slow the big fella down a little as the Raptors as you see match up across the boards with Philly.
"Hustle Board" and Intangibles who wins?
Charity Stripe as this should be a physical game...who wins?
Can JJ Redick among other guards on the Sixers check K-Low 7 as i look for him to get off an get off early!
