Well, somehow, someway, the Philadelphia 76ers are two wins away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since the 2001 season when Allen Iverson and Dikembe Mutumbo brought a bunch of scrubs all the way to the NBA Finals. The Sixers had high hopes heading into this season, to finish above .500 for the first time in years, and they did that. They upset the top seeded, Derrick Rose-less Chicago Bulls in the first round of the playoffs. Plenty of people only accredit the injuries the Bulls racked up during that series, but the Sixers still played well and did end it in exciting fashion. They now find themselves essentially in a three game series with the arch rival Boston Celtics. The fact they are even here is incredible, unbelievable and inspiring. But what needs to happen in Game 5 to give them a chance to clinch this series at home on Wednesday and find themselves four wins away from the NBA Finals?
Alot.
