This will be the final Benedict Arnold Saboteur Poll of the season. It has been an up and down year, full of promise and disappointment, and I hope everyone had fun with the B.A. award and used it as a fun way to blow off steam when our team didn't give it their all and came up short. This seems like a good time to put this column to bed because the Sixers are now on the precipice. They will either fold on Thursday or show some grit and force a game seven. If they lose, and lose badly, another Arnold will be like beating a dead horse, and if they win they will have earned a reprieve for the rest of the season no matter the outcome of game seven.

Which player is most responsible for tonight's blow out loss to the Toronto Raptors in game five? Here are the suspects:



1.) Joel Embiid: 8 turnovers is the only stat you need to see. Joel should have stayed in bed back in Philadelphia and chalked this one up to health management. Joel has been sick or hurt it seems since the all star game, and I hope he can bounce back by Thursday, because its going to be a long summer. Joel gets five Union Jacks.

2.) Ben Simmons: 5 turnovers, just like Joel is the only stat you need to see. Ben has looked lost on offense since Brett finally made the correct call to put the ball in Jimmy's hands during this series. We all know that Ben has a massive hole in his game, but he has enough talent and athleticism to still contribute, just not tonight. Ben earns five Union Jacks.



Which player should be tarred and feathered as the fourth and final playoff Benedict Arnold Saboteur of the game?
