The Philadelphia 76ers lost again on Monday evening, easily taken down 142-110 by the Chicago Bulls.
This was just the latest embarrassing loss for the Sixers, who now have a 20-37 record and sit as the 12th team in their Eastern Conference.
The team knows they aren’t performing like they are supposed to, and Paul George spoke about that recently.
“We just don’t have the habits of a champion or a playoff-contending team,” George said, according to Yahoo Sports.

What are the habits that George is looking for?
It’s not entirely clear, but the team has become an easy win for a number of other squads.
They have now lost eight in a row and have been taken down by teams like the Miami Heat, Brooklyn Nets, Toronto Raptors, and more.
George came to the team in the summer, and people thought they were about to turn a corner and start a brand new exciting chapter.
Instead, things quite literally started off on the wrong foot as Geroge, Joel Embiid, and others faced serious injury problems.
Those injuries haven’t gone away for either of them or others in the lineup.
Although George is playing once again, he has admitted he is still trying to recover from a finger injury and Embiid has consistently missed games.
Things have gotten so bad that some people are calling on the Sixers to shut Embiid down for the season and just start making plans for next year.
Maybe it is time to give up on Embiid and try to find these championship habits George is talking about without him.
