The Philadelphia 76ers lost Game 5 of the series against the Toronto Raptors at home in a decisive fashion. The crowd even started booing the players during the match.

Former NBA player, Hall of Famer, and current analyst on TNT Charles Barkley doesn't believe the team stands a chance in Game 6 either.

"Any time you get a chance to close the game out... It's two times to close out - one on the road, and one at home. When you get a chance to close out at home, you better freakin' do it," Barkley explained.

"They aren't going to win Game 6 in Toronto," Chuck told after the game. "Let me tell you something. By the time they get to Game 7, their sphincters are going to be so tight."

According to Barkley, the 76ers would face immense pressure both from the public and from themselves if they lose Game 6. "There is going to be so much pressure on the boys for Game 7 in Philly," he says.

Game 6 of the series is set to take place Thursday night in Toronto. The 76ers currently lead 3-2.
