April 16 Playoffs Open Thread/Live Blog

I will be out early tomorrow afternoon. So unless someone else will be around to take over (and if you are, by all means, do so), the live blog will not start until I return sometime in the afternoon. Today the 76ers open their series against Miami, the Flyers try to even their series against the Sabres, and not playoff related, but the Philadelphia Union will play in PPL Park Lake, all right around the exact same time. It's gonna be a busy day, so enjoy the games and leave comments!
