<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PHILADELPHIA, April 18 (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Bucks never figured out a way to slow down Allen Iverson this season. Someone else will get a chance in the postseason. Iverson collected 39 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds as the Philadelphia 76ers cruised to a 122-106 triumph over the Bucks to clinch their sixth playoff berth in seven seasons.</div><div align="center">Link</div>We are now in. Great and easy win last night against the Bucks. Man Iverson really loves facing the Bucks this season, dropping 40+ in each game. He did get 39 though. I`m pretty sure AI has now secured the scoring title for the year...Iggys dunks were once again amazing to look at, he`ll be a great factor in the playoffs. Congrats to the Sixers, we`re back!
The 76ers have got to get that 6th seed I don't like the idea of having to play Miami or Detroit, even though Philly will probably have to play them eventually. Regardless everyone has got to step it up come playoff time because consistancy is key in the post season.
Forget about the 6th seed, we're fine with the 7th seed. Why? Even though we would have to play Detroit or Miami in the first round, it's better than we play them now while our legs are fresh. It makes sense to me, why would we want to play them in the 2nd round with tired legs if we were to beat the Celtics in the first round. If were to play the Celtics it would go to a Game 7 IMO, and next we would have to play the Pistons with tired legs. So it's best we just get this over with. Just think about it, defeating the the defending champions. Hmmm, MAJOR confidence and momentum. If were to pull this off, we could even potentially beat the Miami Heat as well. And as a side note, the Pistons are a little beat up. Richard Hamilton suffered a cheek bone injury(?), I'm not to sure on his case. And Rasheed Wallace on the other hand has a bad hammy. So who knows in what condition they will be when the Playoff's begin.
Wow I actually haven't looked at it that way. However, I don't really think we can beat Detroit. Even with Hamilton or Rasheed out, Detroit still has a pretty good lineup with Billups, Wallace, and Prince. However, I do think that weakens them so of course be a bit easier to play against them. The best I think that we can do against them is probably push it to a seven game series. Awesome if we can pull off a win in the series but I don't really think our guys except for Iverson and Webber have the playoff experience to do much damage. The pressure and momentum of the games are elevated and it would definitely take a few games for our young guys to adjust. I would just rather Philadelphia take Boston to get to the second round and then take Detroit that way. You have to remember too that they will be playing against Indiana, which will probably tire them out. I mean Jermaine O'Neil is back and its only a matter of time before Pacers get their game going. So if we beat Boston in the first round then get to Detroit, they will most likely have tired legs as well.

I agree, I would love to see the Sixers get that 6th seed...they are really rollin right now, and I think this can be a dangerous team come playoff time...I think the Sixers can give Miami trouble but they'll definitely have problems with Detroit...I hope Webber steps up his game come playoff time, and give AI another 20 point scorer...
