Can The Sixers Seal The Third Spot In The Eastern Conference?
They can definitely own that third spot, when they host Milwaukee at home. The game that marks the final round of play in the Eastern Conference will be slated for Wednesday.
Sixers Coach Gave His Verdict
Head coach Brett Brown believes his team’s record winning spree would serve as a catalyst during the postseason games. After their last game, he told reporters that “we have high momentum, we broke club records and that is just a start."
“We are an old club with awesome records, we are not young. Moving with this pattern of play and momentum to the playoffs is essential. It doesn’t assure us a win but it’s definitely a good place to start. The team has been incredible and I am happy to be part of the team."Holding a third place in the East offers the Sixers better chances of playing in the conference finals. The Boston Celtics, who hold the second position, are battling with cases of injury, which makes them less of an opponent in the second round.
