Sixers = playoffs?

Am I getting ahead of myself? Yeah, probably. In fact definitely. But, I can't help but be excited about this nifty 5 game winning streak going into the All-Star break. And if the season ended today, we'd be the 8th seed in the East. That's pretty cool, considering what most experts predicted of us this year.

With the Flyers in struggle mode, it's nice to see the Sixers streaking toward a possible playoff push. And now since it looks like the Nets are shipping Kidd off (I don't know the details of the whole Devean George deal), they probably aren't going to get better. 3rd in the division and 8th in the conference ain't too far-fetched when you've got a bunch of equally-mediocre teams around you.

Here's to hoping we keep Andre Miller through this season and make a serious run at getting into the postseason and then losing to Boston or Detroit in the first round! You know, I hope we get in and play the Celtics in round one. If the Warriors can top Dallas, I see no reason why we can't do the same to Boston, especially given the heated rivalry where anything can happen. Good luck to the Sixers in the second half. Let's do it for Mo Cheeks.
