The NBA Playoffs! Nothing like the sweet smell of Philadelphia 76er mediocrity lasting no more than six games in the first round. It's a new tradition. Really. But seriously, this year, the Sixers, in spite of their strong defense, have to be considered the 16th best NBA Playoff team and while they might be able to win one or even two games against the Bulls, they will not be taking the series.
