The Philadelphia 76ers will be fighting for their playoff lives on Thursday night in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference semifinal against the Toronto Raptors.

After winning Game 2 on the road and following up with a blowout win at home in Game 3, the Sixers have lost each of the last two games amidst some porous shooting performances.

Philly shot under 30 percent from beyond the arc and committed 19 turnovers in Game 5, as both Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid have become practically nonexistent on the offensive end.

For a team coming off a series-high in giveaways, it might be natural for the Sixers to slow things down and get into their offense. But head coach Brett Brown wants his team to leave it all out on the floor:

Brown may have a point in addressing his team's pace. The Raptors outscored the Sixers 33-8 in terms of fast break points in Game 5, and Toronto also had a decisive advantage in their Game 4 victory in Philadelphia.

Despite his combination of size, speed and athleticism, Simmons has failed to make his impact on this series. Despite shooting close to 55 percent from the field, the 22-year-old playmaker is averaging under 10 points and barely more than eight field goal attempts per game for the series.

According to Basketball-Reference, Simmons' 14.0 percent usage rate is the lowest among Philadelphia's starters and even sixth man James Ennis.

With Joel Embiid still battling illness and offensive inefficiencies, Simmons and co. would do well to get out and run against the Raptors in Game 6.

After all, it is do-or-die for the Sixers on Thursday night.
