76ers Playoff Schedule

A few hours ago, the 76ers playoff opponent was determined: The Orlando Magic.

A few minutes ago, the NBA released the game schedule. Here's how it looks: 

Game 1: Sunday, April 19. Philadelphia at Orlando. 5:30 p.m. TNT

Game 2: Wednesday, April 22. Philadelphia at Orlando. 7 p.m. NBATV.

Game 3: Friday, April 24. Orlando at Philadelphia. 8 p.m. ESPN2.

Game 4: Sunday, April 26. Orlando at Philadelphia. 6:30 p.m. TNT

Game 5: Tuesday, April 28. Philadelphia at Orlando. TBD. TBD*

Game 6: Thursday, April 30. Orlando at Philadelphia. TBD. TBD*

Game 7: Saturday, May 2. Philadelphia at Orlando. TBD. TNT*

* If necessary.

With the last seven games, plus the first-round playoff matchup set, there's plenty to talk about during today's Live Chat we're having at 3:30 p.m. Even though the Sixers defeated the Cavaliers a few hours ago at Quicken Loans Arena, the vibe in the locker room afterward was not exactly celebratory. We'll talk about that, Samuel Dalembert's shoulder, Thaddeus Young's ankle, the Sixers chances against the Magic, and everything else that's happened lately. If you have a few minutes, click here: Sixers Chat.

With the Magic's injury woes this could have been a favorable match-up. But the 6ers look so lost and listless that there seems little hope for much fight in them at this point. Even the minimal goal of play-off experience for the young players is mute if the season ends in hopeless surrender.

When Thad Young went down our trouble really started. Once he gets his legs back under him we'll be fine. Not great...just fine. While it feels like a sweep is in the wings I don't see it. Of course I'm the eternal optimist!

So Sam might be hampered? If so, is that such a huge loss?

The Sixers can win two games if Torkuglu and Lewis are not 100% percent. If either or both miss any time the Sixers could push it to the full seven games. I can't see them winning though they just aren't playing well enough right now.

Move Tony to GM and keep the 'committee'. Use Brand at 1 and draft a shooter. Eh Lawrence?
