Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again.

Welcome to and I use this term very loosely, a special edition of the Ringer NBA Show,

Instant Reactions from Game 5 of Sixers, Raptors.

I'm your host, John Gonzalez, Isaac Lee is here per usual and I am joined by Staff

Writer, extraordinaire host of the Ringer MLB show.

From my Philly brother, Michael Baumann who is doing this both under duress and protest,

the Sixers and Raptors haven't even wrapped up Baumann, we decided to start the pod early

because what a shit show.

Yeah, this edition of the Ringer NBA Show is brought to you by looking at this can right

now, short spruing company of Elk Rapids, Michigan.

Yeah, that's about right, I was going to say bleach this episode of the show is brought

to you by bleach.

If you're a Sixers fan, drink bleach.

Not good for the Sixers gang, like I thought Baumann that this series was pretty much decided

in game four, I thought it was right there for the Sixers, they had a chance to take a

commanding three one lead.

Literally if Tobias Harris hits two more threes, they're up three one, they go back to Toronto,

I think maybe the proceedings are a little bit different and it didn't go that way and

then they go to Toronto and it could not have gone worse from the very beginning, especially

and including the fact that Joel and Beat and Ben Simmons were alternately terrible and

invisible, they combined for as we're recording this, who knows they're not coming back

yet.
