I have few words for the Philadelphia 76ers’ Game 5 performance against the Toronto Raptors. Philly’s offense versus Toronto’s defense looked like a first-time chess player against a grandmaster. The Sixers’ defense was somehow even more pathetic, with players not even getting back after makes, let alone in transition. It was the third time in this series that the Sixers have come out completely flat, seemingly without any game plan whatsoever. The Raptors outclassed the Sixers in just about every aspect. (I turned the game off early in the 4th quarter.)
And the bookmakers in Vegas took notice.
