This is a good point. Augustine is playing better, creating more, hitting shots and starting to resemble the guy that can get you 10-15 points and 4-5 assists in a pinch.
I think Philly is definitely in the mix- but they’re still the same team and you do have to wonder why everyone’s memory for this team is so short. Ben Simmons is having a good year- but like Giannis has experienced, if you can iso and knock down a jumper, you’re exposed. Nothing has changed- he still isn’t shooting the ball.
