Facts are facts..

Games between playoff caliber teams become more intense, physical and important as the season gets closer to playoffs. Pels have won 3 of their last 14 games against playoff caliber teams who weren’t missing multiple stars. The 76ers and Knicks were a shell of their normal teams on that last road trip. Pels have been quite healthy. During this 3-11 stretch, Pels have had multiple games at home in which they were beaten badly pretty much from start to finish. They are doing a great job against the weaker teams, but haven’t been winning nearly enough of the games against the type of teams they might see in the playoffs. Too many players go into a shell and appear to regress when they get hit in the mouth by teams that keep coming.
