Philadelphia started with a victory the renewal of the season. In the first leg, the Sixers left no chances for Memphis (93-80). Tobias Harris was the best member of the Pennsylvania ensemble. On account of this player are 15 points scored and ten rebounds. In their second match, Philadelphia was defeated. This time, the seventy-sixths could not cope with Oklahoma (97-102). The Sixers played this fight without Joel Embiid. The Cameroonian was sorely lacking in the team, so there is nothing surprising in this defeat.
The New Yorkers clearly didnt deserve to play in the playoffs, but they were lucky to have Inter Miami in their group, which lost all three matches, including to Ronnie Dale’s team (1-2). New York City does not look like itself at all, because in the opening match they lost to Philadelphia (0-1) and then failed to do anything in the match against Orlando (1-3). As you can see, the team scored only twice over the entire period. It will be difficult for the townspeople with such a game to oppose Toronto, as the team looks depressed and toothless in attack. The impression is, that players are not ready just physically.
