76ers Playoff Hopes

Our Philadelphia 76ers have just clinched a playoff spot as of April, 23. After beating the Bucks from Milwaukee the kicked them out and put themselves in. Now the only challenge is getting a higher seed. The first couple are locked down be the Heat, Bulls, Spurs, Lakers, and Grizzlies. So they 6ers have to settle for a lower or middle seed, and hopefully get on a wave of momentum and carry them to the playoffs. If so there is a possibility they can make it through the playoffs. My best bet for them is the Semi Finals. Which is good for a formally mediocre team, a lock out, and new coach, the cards were stacked against them, but the overcame and got to the playoffs.
