    The entire league has stopped playing defense, with an assist to the rules. If you breathe on a guy shooting a 3 now its a foul.

    There was a really bad call on Harden giving George 3 late FT's on Saturday.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Do teams even try for offensive rebounds anymore?  It seems like every possession is shoot then retreat.

    THIS!

    I've noticed that too.  No second chance shots.

    most guys take hurried 3's without giving players a chance to get down the court. Those that do get down the court are mostly beyond the 3 anyway.

    I keep saying that the Sixers aren't playing together.  They have another half of the season to get right.

    @23scidoo every time I see your handle I think of the ghost town out in Cali.

    Give me an example of how they're not playing together? Because Tobias Harris has fit in seamlessly so far. There's nothing in the three games he's played in to suggest otherwise, unless I am missing something. They're 2-1 and only lost last night because of an off night for Embiid...and they still had a shot at the end.

    They are 12-15 vs +500 teams. 24-6 against sub 500.

    They just lost to the Celtics minus a Kyrie.

    If they play any sub 500 teams in the playoffs they will be just fine.

    Very similar to last year when they ended the season on that 69 game winning streak where they played Atlanta, Brooklyn and the Knicks 23 times each and suddenly they were seen as the team to beat in the east then the Celts pantsed them.

    Cmon...  The ones that matter and the ones I think will be in the finals are Raptors and they have a 17-13 record.

    The Celtics without Kyrie aren't going anywhere though...  I might choose my pick to the Bucks because of that.

    Kyrie has a knee sprain, he's not out for long.

    The Celtics are 10-12 against 500+ teams. The numbers you are citing are consistent with most good teams in the league. You beat up against the scrubs and then hold your own against the better ones. That usually ends teams up with 50+ wins.

    And your argument doesn't make a lot of sense anyway. You keep saying they need to play together since the trade which just happened three games ago....yet you're citing numbers that includes games since before even Jimmy Butler got here?


    My question was, what in the last three games indicates they are not gelling well together? Because I think the exact opposite is true.

    Which is better than 12-15.
    And Celts are 3-0 against their current projected first round opponent.
