I just started this thread to get all the discussions for the playoffs, seeding in the same place, not scattered all over the forum. As of now they're only a game and a half behind the Pacers for the 6th spot, and 3 behind the cavs. I believe both these teams will struggle (without jo and the cavs have been 3-8 last 11 games) for the remainder of the season, or at least for another 5-10 games. If possible it's stilll possible the 5th seed, if not 4th. I don't like the idea of having to face the Heat in second round though(for both the 4th and 5th seed)
We're playing well right now. The thing is the Celtics keep winning. If we don't win our divison we'll still have a chance to get good a solid seed in the playoffs. Here is a feature from the 76ers website to keep a closer look on the playoff race. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">INCLUDES GAMES OF FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 2005 CONFERENCE STANDINGS, TEAMS SHOWN IN PLAYOFF-ORDER EASTERN CONFERENCE GAMES REMAINING VS.

No problem. I'll make this thread a sticky. And let's try to keep this thread active, but I don't think we'll need to try because these upcoming games will put us up and down the seedings in which will generate a lot of discussion. Also, I'll give my input on this later. Let's see what other members have to say about this for now.
