The Sixers simply lost ground. The team with such a stellar line-up cannot get involved in the struggle. Even before the playoffs, it was noticeable that the club was far from optimal shape. Brett Brown’s wards got to Boston, which is a tough nut to crack and, as time has shown, knows how to properly build the game. “Fila” lost twice. At first they tried to resist somehow the opponent (101-109), but in the second meeting they were completely defeated (101-128). Philadelphia is driven into a dead end and there is only one way out of this situation, namely to turn the tide of events and beat the Celtics in the third meeting, though they will have to give their best.
Firefighters are an outsider in the league, as the team did not show a stable game at all, although the break could have benefited fire. In the domestic championship, the club is third from the end, which is also not particularly pleasing. Chicago recently tried to prove itself at the MLS is Back tournament, but managed to score only three points and took the last line in Group B. It is noticeable that the team needs strengthening, especially in defense, because this is the weakest point at the moment. Rafael Vicky’s charges are approaching the fight against Columbus as an underdog, which is hard to argue with.
