    IF D comes through, the 6ers could surprise some of these tougher teams. Jrue,AI, Lavoy could make people really work for shots. If they do so, Phila. fans will be very pleased and I will bet, surprised how good this young team is.

    The postseason success of the 6ers will depend upon their health, the health of their opponents, who plays whom in each round and if Collins still has this team playing the kind of ball they have been playing this year.

    This game is important but not as important as the bulls game was, we know where we stand with the Heat we aren't there yet we are trying to get there but we are there yet. it takes time no rush. So i don't think we should put alot of enphasis on this one. I hope they win but if not it won't hurt as much as would had the Bulls beat us.
