Charles Barkley says the Raptors and 76ers are destined to go to a Game 7 after Toronto's Game 5 win on Monday. It's certainly not going like Shaquille O'Neal expected, as he predicted a Philly sweep before the series.
“Well they’ve got no chance of winning Thursday, it’s a seven-game series now,” said Barkley. “Toronto, the way they played tonight, they think they are going to win the series.”
Suffering their largest loss at home in a playoff game since 2012, the 76ers have now dropped back-to-back contests against the Raptors after winning the first three games of the series. Previously, fellow NBA on TNT host Shaquille O’Neal had stated “Toronto’s getting swept” on the show after Ernie Johnson Jr. and Barkley had said that the series was going to be a battle.
