Sixers should have just seated Embiid this game and had him treated and rested. That should have put him ready and 100% in game 6. Raptors are currently eating them alive even with him, not in 100%. Now if they lose this game, they have embiid not rested, may not recover from his upper respiratory infection before game 6 and will be facing elimination.
Good point, they should have rested Embiid, but I guess the urgency is their for the team to win this game that's why they take the risk, sadly though it backfired on them.
For 76'ers, it was the worst franchise loss in recent history, since losing game 1 of the 1982 Conference Finals vs Boston by 40 points.
Lowry and Siakam stepping up, while Ibaka, Gasol and Danny Green also contributed good numbers.
