Sixers clinched.. Playoffs!

Finally, my lowly Sixers clinched a playoff spot. Now, if they win their last game tomorrow, they have the 7th spot and play Detroit the first round. Now, I've known that we were either going to face Detroit or Miami in the first round, which is why it was so pivital to win the division, but we didn't.

Honestly, I think the Sixers have a chance to beat any team in the league (as does any team really, but more so for the Sixers, IMO). Of course, I've always been biased towards Philly sports, and this is no surprise, but AI has got to be one of the most explosive players in the league. If he has a good game, and some decent support, the Sixers can not only beat any team, but dominate most. This is true for most teams, yes, but AI is special. If Webber gets on a roll, this could be a devastating team in the playoffs.

Watch out!

What support? The Sixers have no backup for AI and C-Webb isn't doing shit since he's been traded, either. Why do the Sixers have a better chance than anyone else? Your answer should be amusing,

For a littler homerism, I can't believe the Pacers have made it into the Playoffs with all the adversity that they have faced this season. We've had ~405 games missed this season with suspensions/injuries of star players. Washington places second with 221. That's a lot of freakin' games.

If the Pacers end up sucking horribly this Playoffs: Go Suns! Shit, those guys can play.

Dalembert and Jackson (as a combo) have put up the best Center numbers other than Shaq and Wallace in the East. Iguodala is a great defender and can make a game with his dunks (it amps our team up immensely), and is easily top 4 in rookies this year, and should be getting some nods for Rookie of the Year (of course not nearly enough to win, or even come close). Korver has one of the highest 3-point shooting percentages in the league, and that is basically all he shoots!

If we are clicking, we are devastating, not humorous. No one is giving the Sixers any love against Detroit. 4-1 across the boards, but I think we can easily win 2 if not challenge for the series.

I agree with the experts. Sorry, man. Sixers lose either 4-1 or 4-0. Not gonna be pretty.

I'm a big time Pistons fan, and I believe from watching their games, and comparing them to the Sixers games I can form a pretty good anaylsis. Detroit completely controls the tempo in their games and that is one of the main reasons why Detroit will beat Philly.

I don't want to get to cocky and jinx my team, but I think the real question is Detroit or Miami. Although I honestly think that Detroit will be the one to advance, a lot of people are mixed.

What do you guys think?

Well I'm a big time Pacers fan, so fuck the Pistons. Nov. 19, remember that!?

Detroit's game is not so much fast-paced as it is based around defense. They probably average like 87.6 points a game. All Detroit has to do is control AI and that's the series.

I believe NJ will give Miami some trouble if not win the series. Shaq is hurt right now and Richard Jefferson is coming back for NJ. Vinsanity can't be fucking stopped and Kidd is plain ol' Kidd.
