Sixers Playoff Seeding Guide
The Opening Tip
Hello and Happy Friday. It's the Corner Three!
9 Regular Season Games Left. Bring her in nice and easy boys.
Last Call For Playoff Shirts
Don't be one of those people who sends us an email in 5 weeks asking if we still have any playoff shirts left when we told you that the deadline was five weeks ago. You can get the official playoff Ricky shirt, or even the safe for work version.
Oh Yeah, The Sixers
Let's preview the next 2 weeks!
1. Race for Number 1
As of this writing atleast, the good guys are a mere one game behind the oddly internal feuding Miami Heat for the East's overall seed. In what guarantees to be a bloodbath of a playoff with a much more even distribution of talent among the conference this year, would be nice to have as many games as home as possible. Also, the weirdest 8th seed ever, Nets await whoever is top dog so we'll find out pretty quickly just who is holding or folding.
2. Embiid/JH PTO
Coincides with number 1. Doc Rivers and staff mentioned load management would kick in for the duo as things begin to wind down, before it's time to ramp up again but I do wonder how being so close to the top seed would effect that. With how close things are, you lose two in a row and you're back to middle of the pack, I say let the Bucks/Celtics fight it out and let's settle in nicely to the 2 or 3.
3. The Quiet Tournaments
Regardless of how we all feel about the backup center situation (we're right) there's a pretty important tournament going on there and for backup wing minutes, so even if we do get a few runs sans Embiid/Harden/Maxey, atleast minor intrigue will exist.
4. Getting Tobias Going
We know what he his/isn't, but regardless where you land in that convo, I think we all can agree that it would be a great benefit for this team to be able to count on him for consistent offensive production in the playoffs. History is yelling at us that that won't be the case, and it's probably right but we atleast gotta try.
