I took a quick gander at the NBA playoff bracket and something jumped out at me right away. Coming into tonight home teams are an
astounding understandable 15-4. The Sixers accounted for 1 of the 4, the other three all came from the Utah/Houston series.
How about extending that record to 16-4 tonight, Sixers.
Editorial Note: I botched this one. Completely missed the Houston/Utah flip-flop when I was looking at the brackets. I hate Friday afternoons at work. Thanks to the guys in the comments for setting me straight.
Didn't Houston win in Utah in game 3 of their series?
Utah won the first 2 games @ Houston
^^ That too.
I really need to get out of this office. Good eyes, thanks guys.
Yeah basically apart from the Utah-Houston series only Philly has won a road game so far. It says as much about the Pistons as it does the Sixers.
Now that we've awakened the giant it will be a real scrap to win another game. Detroit at their best can beat any team in a 7-game series.
I'll be glad if we can split the two games in Philly.
Well our coach is fired up. Apparently he got fined $25,000. Read it on ESPN. Hopefully our players are too.
I'm sorry, I meant I hope the players are fired up, not that they get fined. Anyway here's the link:

Maybe Mo will earn some home-court calls for the Sixers. Sure would be nice.
