    Not sure exactly what the magic number is but I figure a couple more wins locks up the 3 seed. Once we have that, I would just shut Jo and James down. Give them a couple weeks off before playoffs start.


    Looking at Cleveland's schedule, they should be favored to finish out 5-0 (not saying it'll happen, but their last 5 games are pretty easy), so Sixers don't look to have the luxury of much rest to hold them off. But there's like 5 off days while the dregs do the play in tourney, so Lion Killer and KFC should have plenty of time to rest.

    Sixers are 3 up in loss column and hold the tie breaker with 6 to play. I think they Cavs have a back to back this weekend so hoping they lose one of those.

    Is "Lion Killer" an Africa reference or something? I feel like I've just started hearing that one. Or it could be I've been clueless for the past nine years.

    Joel HANS Embiid kills lions and eats them for brunch every Wednesday during the offseason.

    I imagine that is some lean meat.

    No back to backs, Knicks the only playoff team and it's at Cleveland without Randle.
    5-0 a real probability.

    If they can't get the 2 seed, 3 or 4 aren't all that different. Gotta beat Bucks and Celtics either way.

    Oh okay. I guess I was thinking of the two straight in Orlando. Magic have played well recently. Tough to beat the same team twice in a row. Either way, Sixers beat Toronto tomorrow and they're 3 up in loss column with 5 to play plus tie breaker.....one step closer to this baby!

    Wouldn't you rather play the Nets as opposed to the Knicks? I think there's a decent sized difference between 3 and 4. Not that much between 2 and 3 though.

    Yeah Nets would be easier. Seems like starting at home vs. Boston might provide a boost. That's a long shot I believe.

    No chance of that. They're schedule is cake and they hold tie breaker.

    Damn the refs were really trying to hand that one to the Celtics. Guess we know what the playoffs will look like.

    Everyone brace yourselves for round 2 when the Celtics’ late game strategy when they are trailing is to touch any Sixers player and then aggressively flail to the ground. 

    I try not to complain about other teams flopping, as I’m aware that my favorite team has Joel Embiid and James Harden, but those last few plays were so pathetic. And the fact that one of them actually worked is sad. 

    Anyway, Joel is the MVP finally. If nothing else we can be glad that we get to watch him do this shit on a regular basis.

    That officiating was, let me paraphrase someone from college hoops, "A JOKE".

    Off topic, but as it became clear Connecticut was easily going to win the NCAA, I basically was just watching women's hoops. Also the SD St game was preempted by tornado coverage.

    Has there ever been a tie/co-MVP's in the NBA? I'm pretty sure it's been done in MLB, but not sure about the NBA. Embiid should win but I can see Gianis winning also now.

    Assuming the Celts are at full health if they meet, Sixers won't have to worry about refs. Just where to book tee times after game 5.

    You certainly have bragging rights for now. I want nothing more than the Sixers to figure out how to beat this Celtics team.

    Well as long as Doc doesn't screw anything up, we'll at least see what a healthy Sixers team can do in the playoffs finally.
