The Sixers‘ blew a 26-point lead in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, marking the biggest collapse of the last two postseasons. Doc Rivers and Ben Simmons took center stage in the worst way, while Joel Embiid and Seth Curry were unable to elevate a slew of teammates who went M.I.A.

Naturally, we jumped on the podcast to air out our post-game thoughts. The Sixers are down 3-2 to the Atlanta Hawks, a good-not-great team who should not be leading this series.
