The Doc Rivers guys continue to create problems for themselves. The playoffs are not a regular season where you can afford to make mistakes, so the team needs a more prepared approach to the fights. Recall that the club easily passed Washington in the first series. Of course, the confident victories helped players to believe in themselves. However, it also influenced concentration, as they relaxed before the second round. Philadelphia lost to Atalanta, which was a real sensation, as the match was played at home at Wells Fargo Center (124-128). This defeat was a cold shower for the Sixers, so the next two meetings ended more successfully. In the last match “Fila” had the opportunity to put everything in its place, but allowed the opponent to equalize the score in the series (100-103). Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris did not look like themselves at all and could not decide whether to act first or choose tactics from defense, which the Hawks took advantage of.
Whoever says anything, but the sailboats are great, because they try to act to the last and this helps to stay afloat. The team is having an unstable season, but did not remain without playoffs. The Clippers immediately hit a worthy competitor in the person of Dallas. We saw seven spectacular confrontations and a real intrigue, in which the club from Los Angeles was more fortunate. Tyrone Liu’s side have lost two away games in a row in the second round of the playoffs. This result clearly did not like Paul George and Kawhi Leonardo, who remembered that they were the leaders and helped the team to level the score in the series.
