They had a successful regular season, going 14-3 as they secured the second spot in the NFC. They beat the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams and Washington Commanders on their way to Super Bowl 59.</p><p>It was there when they faced the Kansas City Chiefs for the championship. Kansas City looked to achieve a three-peat, while Philadelphia wanted their second in franchise history. The Eagles ultimately succeeded, taking down the Chiefs 40-22 to secure the title.</p><p>George was present at the Eagles’ Super Bowl parade, which he recalled during a May 26 episode of the Podcast P with Paul George show. He encountered a fan who told him that Philadelphia could have kept Harris if they knew George was going to underperform throughout the season.</p><p>Harris <a href="https://x.com/tobias31/status/1927111825293750735" rel="noopener">caught wind of the video</a>, and responded to it by posting a photo of him with a cigar and had the text refer to the 76ers’ struggles with George.</p><p>“After the parade…4-27 ⏰🏀➡️😂,” Harris said.</p><h2><b>How Pistons’ Tobias Harris, 76ers’ Paul George did this season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/76ers-news-Tobias-Harris-clowns-Philadelphia-for-post-Super-Bowl-struggles-.jpg"><figcaption>Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>What Tobias Harris meant by his post is that Paul George and the 76ers went 4-27 in their last 31 games to end the regular season. Certainly a brutal shot to take at the franchise he presented for six years.</p><p>Harris finds himself in a better spot, unlike the 76ers. In his first season with the Detroit Pistons, he averaged 13.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in 73 appearances. In the playoffs, the team’s first since 2019, he produced 15.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in the six-game series against the New York Knicks.</p><p>While Harris succeeded as a veteran on a rising Pistons squad, George went through a turbulent season with the 76ers. He only played in 41 games, averaging 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists. Philadelphia shut him down in March as the team finished 24-58, their worst record since the 2016-17 campaign.</p><p>Injuries ravaged the 76ers roster throughout the season, including George, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and rookie sensation Jared McCain. They will hope for the best as they regroup next season, especially while <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/76ers-news-the-player-favored-to-be-no-3-pick-will-divide-philly-fans">having the third pick of the 2025 NBA Draft</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-brian-windhorst-drops-harsh-take-disastrous-season">2024-25 season was an unmitigated disaster</a>. The 76ers finished the year 24-58 and broke their seven-year postseason streak. George struggled heavily in his first season in Philadelphia, averaging 16.2 points per game on 43% shooting from the field.</p><p>While PG-13’s production wasn’t up to par, the main disappointment from the 76ers was this group’s dismal health situation. Joel Embiid was practically injured the entire season, Tyrese Maxey played just 52 games, and George only took part in half of the games. In addition, star rookie Jared McCain’s stellar start was squashed by a season-ending meniscus tear. Still, George was the 200 million dollar man last offseason, so he got most of the blame for Philadelphia’s dip. The future Hall of Famer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d04V6i82024&amp;t=3401s" rel="noopener">broke down</a> on his podcast an interaction with some fans during an Eagles’ celebration.</p><p>“I had to roll down the window because I was doing a run around trying to get to the building. So finally I had to hit up the officer like I’m trying to get right here. I had been in traffic for about an hour and a half, I’m trying to get to right here, can you all please let me get through the street right here. As soon as I rolled the window down, they were like, ‘Yo that’s Paul George, that is Paul George,’ he said, ‘Yo we could have kept Tobias.’ Shout out TB, it ain’t no joke at TB, ‘Yo, we could’ve kept Tobias if you’re going to do this s—t.’ It was funny but it was some s—t you take to the heart, like you’re right, facts, I got you.”</p><h2><b>The 76ers have a chance to redeem themselves in 2025-26 if they can have some semblance of health</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/76ers-Paul-George-Joel-Embiid.jpg"><figcaption>Bill Streicher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Despite the poor season, Philadelphia still has an encouraging outlook if this group can get moderately healthy. The franchise has the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft and will likely select a highly dynamic wing to help Paul George with major defensive assignments. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-the-player-favored-to-be-no-3-pick-will-divide-philly-fans">Ace Bailey and VJ Edgecombe are two options</a> with this selection, or Dylan Harper, who also has the size to guard multiple positions at the NBA level.</p><p>A core of Embiid, George, Maxey, Bailey, and McCain isn’t exactly discouraging heading into 2025-26. But the pressure is on for this franchise to contend, especially in an Eastern Conference that could be more open than usual due to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s uncertain future in Milwaukee and Jayson Tatum’s torn Achilles. There are certainly plenty of threats in the conference, such as the two teams facing off in the Eastern Conference Finals right now, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and rising franchises such as the Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons, but there’s a window here for the 76ers to be a threat again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After confoundingly trading away Luka Doncic in early February, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/lakers-news-lebron-james-hilarious-reaction-nba-draft-lottery-results">Mavericks have somehow been granted a mulligan</a>, as they are on their way to drafting another franchise cornerstone in Duke’s Cooper Flagg — raising eyebrows around the NBA, including that of Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris.</p><p>Harris, much like nearly everyone else in the NBA, found this turn of good luck for the Mavericks rather interesting and even inspiring, with the Pistons veteran firing an <a href="https://x.com/tobias31/status/1922071997699252421" rel="noopener">ironic inspirational remark</a> that pokes fun at how the Mavs have fallen upwards.</p><p>“This goes to show why faith and always believing are so important folks 😂🤣,” Harris wrote on his official account on X (formerly Twitter).</p><p>If anything, Mavericks fans who were distraught by the disastrous turn of events that befell the franchise to end the 2024-25 season needed to at least find a glimmer of hope after seeing Doncic, the man who led them to the NBA Finals just last year, don the Los Angeles Lakers’ purple and gold.</p><p>Nonetheless, some find it a bit suspicious that the Mavericks would overcome such infinitesimal odds to win the number one pick during the same year that they traded Doncic in an inexplicable deal to the league’s most famous and marketable team in the Lakers. Some have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/dallas-mavericks/mavericks-news-ceo-conspiracy-confession-lottery-win">put their conspiracy hats on</a> and have theorized that this is a reward of some sort from the NBA for gifting Doncic to the Purple and Gold.</p><p>But if there’s a fanbase who deserves to experience some happiness, it’s the Mavericks’, especially after the franchise’s indefensible actions and remarks in recent months.</p><h2><b>Pistons are free from lottery drama</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Pistons-guard-Cade-Cunningham-2-celebrates.jpg"><figcaption>© Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>For the first time since 2020, the Pistons don’t have a pick in the lottery. They made the playoffs as the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, and this was no fluke, as they have a true superstar in Cade Cunningham leading the way and a burgeoning young core stepping up in support of him.</p><p>It’s no coincidence that the Pistons have managed to become a playoff team after bringing in solid veterans such as Tobias Harris, Malik Beasley, and Tim Hardaway Jr. The midseason arrival of Dennis Schroder was quite helpful as well. And for now, they are free from lottery drama after being blessed with the likes of Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Ausar Thompson, and Ron Holland in recent years.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With the Pistons making a surge, veteran forward Tobias Harris got into it with Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns. Harris <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1916564925184409775" rel="noopener">was yapping it up</a> in KAT’s grill, and Towns took exception to it.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Tobias Harris and Karl-Anthony Towns exchanging some words here in the 3rd quarter 🍿👀<a href="https://t.co/f04Zzf5scS">pic.twitter.com/f04Zzf5scS</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1916564925184409775?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 27, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Detroit suffered through a mostly ugly first half and trailed by as many as 16 points late in the second quarter. However, the game flipped heading into halftime and into the third quarter, with the Pistons roaring back and taking a lead. Detroit outscored New York 28-14 in the third quarter to take a seven-point lead into the final frame, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/knicks-news-jalen-brunson-locker-room-injury-game-4-pistons">Jalen Brunson had to leave the game</a> momentarily with an apparent ankle injury. Brunson has since returned and is trying to will his team back.</p><p>Tobias Harris is helping lead the way for the Pistons so far despite foul trouble, scoring 18 points to match Cade Cunningham’s output through three quarters. Towns had 19 points to lead the Knicks through the first three frames.</p><p>This series has featured plenty of drama, with all three games being competitive. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-rip-off-insane-21-0-run-to-quiet-pistons">New York used a 21-0 run</a> in the fourth quarter to win Game 1, but Detroit answered in Game 2 and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/detroit-pistons/jb-bickerstaffs-immediate-reaction-to-pistons-stealing-game-2-road-win-vs-knicks">won its first playoff game in 17 years</a>. Game 3 brought a bunch of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/knicks-news-jalen-brunson-reacts-chants-pistons-fans">NSFW chants aimed at Brunson</a> and a controversial ending that resulted in a close Knicks win.</p><p>Now we’re getting another banger in Game 4. The Pistons’ season looked to be on the ropes when they went down 48-32 late in the first half, but they turned the tide. They’ll now try to hold on and tie this series at two games apiece heading back to Madison Square Garden for Game 5. If the rest of this series has been any indicator, this one will come right down to the wire.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
