Quote from: MDS on April 22, 2012, 01:24:43 AMi think the play is simple. you wait for the knicks to show their hand. if they win @ atl, sixers then answer and win in nj, then tank the last 2 and lock themselves into chi.

The Sixers aren't tanking any games so they can win two playoff games instead of zero. They might lose those games, but that would be because the Sixers aren't that good, not because they are tanking.

im not saying that are back to where they were in january but last night they really looked like they gave a shtein for the first time in a long time

considering they play chicago well and considering their best player is gimpy, they actually maybe might just perhaps will give the bulls a run. not saying itll happen but there is a chance.

the heat will sweep.

is there an echo in here?

not getting my hopes up for any kind of huge playoff run but common sense says going in on a 4 game win streak will be better than getting in by default.

MDS · April 22, 2012, 02:03:50 PM

they are pros, they can turn it on and turn it off

you cant tell people to lose on purpose but you can go with brackens, voy, nic, et and meeks for 40 minutes and take your chances with that.

and its something they absolutely have to do. they will not and cannot beat the heat. playing them would be utterly pointless.

win streak is gonna be tough as they finish the year with five straight on the road....but if they win at nj it renders the milwaukee game meaningless and at detr0it to finsih the year is easily doable....so its certainly not out of the question that they could go into the postseason with a five game winning streak

but lets be real....that means nothing....they could win five in a row heading into a miami and series where they will get swept....or they could lose two of their last three regular season games and go into a bulls series where they win two minimum and have a legit shot at an 8-1 upset

BigEd76 · April 23, 2012, 10:01:22 PM

If the Sixers get to Game 6 it will be considered an upset.

Bulls in 3

MDS · April 24, 2012, 03:06:55 AM

im going to guarantee game 1. they come back and get 1/2 in philly. that sets up 5 as do or die. if they take 5 they win. if they lose 5, thats it.

ice grillin you · April 24, 2012, 07:24:47 AM

i had sixers in 7 before iguodala got hurt

now its probably bulls in 5 or 6

He'd be playing the last two if they were still fighting for a playoff birth.
