Terrible, more properly pronounced “turrible,” by Charles Barkley, a legend of the Philadelphia 76ers. That word describes the Sixers’ performance in Game 5, tonight. Going into Toronto, the Sixers knew they’d have a tough time.
But, a team that has gone through all they have, lifting the “curse,” one would think they’d actually try. On paper, the Sixers are an unstoppable team. Led by Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, the Sixers also boast such names as JJ Redick, Jimmy Butler, and Tobias Harris.
None of that was any good, once Kawhi Leonard got cooking. He has formed quite the tandem with Kyle Lowry and their Raptors put the Sixers to sleep. The game was a blowout, as Twitter trashes Philly, blaming Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons for the loss, and if Brett Brown loses his job, that’s on them, too.
