It’s official, the Raptors are going to the NBA playoffs and they’ll be meeting a familiar foe: the Philadelphia 76ers.
With Pascal Siakam’s all-NBA season, NBA All Star Fred VanVleet and rookie Scottie Barnes, heralded by many as the Rookie of the Year — and including praise from Inside the NBA’s Charles Barkley, fans are trending the cheer ‘Raps in 6’ on social media.
Standing in their way are the 76ers, and the superstar duo in MVP candidate Joel Embiid, who became the first centre since Shaquille O’Neal to lead the league in scoring, and former MVP James Harden who made the move from the Brooklyn Nets.
