All season long, the Philadelphia 76ers had one game shown on ESPN/TNT. It was a game against the Celtics. Before Christmas. And they lost.
That is not to say that the Sixers should not have gotten more attention. Despite their solid season and exciting young talents, Philadelphia does remain one of the worst NBA markets in the country. But only one game does seem a bit much, although that will quickly turn into a lot more as it is now official. The Philadelphia 76ers will begin their post-season much the same way they began their regular season. By playing LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, and six or seven other guys wearing Miami Heat uniforms. There are few instances in life where a Philadelphia sports team becomes a sentimental favorite in America. I think we have found one of those occasions.
The Heat swept the Sixers in the regular season.
And while the Sixers are facing a team that everyone knows about, the Flyers on the other hand are facing a team that people here very little about: the Buffalo Sabres. I'll post the NHL playoff schedule once Versus reveals their selective information about broadcasts tomorrow.
