Thread-relevant excerpt from ESPN article on Sixers-Raptors Game 5 last night (link to full article at bottom):
"Sometimes, the Philly fans, they're tough," said Raptors forward Thaddeus Young, who spent seven seasons with the 76ers to begin his career. "I think that's one of the reasons I loved being here for the seven years I was here, they're a tough crowd.
They're gonna let you know when you're doing great, they're gonna let you know when you're doing wrong and they wanna see their guys play hard. This is a blue-collar city and that's what they believe in -- blue-collar work and making sure you're bringing your 100% maximum effort each and every night."

Embiid: 76ers 'fine'; want more aggressive Harden
Joel Embiid said the 76ers are "fine" after letting the Raptors claw back into their first-round series, but also noted that James Harden -- who took only 11 shots in Monday's loss -- needs to be more aggressive, something coach Doc Rivers must enforce.
