this is the third time this month that we've led by double digits and ended up losing..
-led Trailblazers by 13 points in the 4th quarter....and lost.
-Led Bulls by 10 points in the 4th quarter......and lost
-Led Mavs by 15 points in the 3rd quarter.......and lost.
had we won those 3 games,we would've been over the hills in the playoff race....hell,we would have had 40 wins and just 4 wins short of 3rd place.
dissapointing.
We can't hold on to leads in big games!

Re: We can't hold on to leads in big games!
No NBA team holds big leads. There isn't enough separation between NBA teams for there to be a significant number of blowouts. Basically, large leads are noise in the data and there is always a regression to the mean. Also, somebody posted a pretty good analysis of how teams play from behind and it was pretty eye opening. I think that The 76ers played significantly better from behind than the Warriors did from in front.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.
