    Just beat the Bulls by 16 and I know they were missing two starters but the 6ers were also missing their starting center.

    I think you're seriously underestimating how valuable Luol Deng is to the Bulls in terms of defense. Hawes for Deng is NOT an even tradeoff. No one is disrespecting the Sixers' talent, but look at who they've faced so far and tell me they had a tough road to 16-6.

    Good win from them tonight, but if they played a 7 game series, you'd see a lot of tight games, not blowouts.

      Still not giving credit yet without deng and Hamilton ... Deng is the 2nd best scorer/defender on that team...

        76'ers are this years feel good story, no denying, but how many best of seven playoff series can they win come April?

            Sixers are very solid esp at home... yes the bulls were without deng, but both hawes and vucevic being out is a pretty close comparison. Hawes has played like one of the top centers in the east this season. Without him and vucevic the sixers are very thin down low. Deng is a big loss, but being without their top two centers is a big loss too

              Next week they got the lob show, the lake show and the spurs back to back to back at home.
              Win 2 out of those 3, then I will be impressed.

              Sixers end the season with 6 consecutive cupcakes, so they should be in line for at least one, probably two home court best of seven advantage series.

                Beat the 5th seed Hawks for the second time both by a ton of points. Beat the lake show and did both without Elton Brand.

                  76ers are good, but I just don't see how they keep up in a 7 games series with the Heat or Bulls. Sure they can win during the regular season, but I don't see them getting past the 2nd round in the playoffs.

                    getting to the second round is actually a big step for this team...but obviously they are still one piece away.. if they can bring in one of the big name free agents within the next yr or two, watch out
