Ya 6.5 is a pretty big cushion but don't think 1st is completely out of the realm of possibility. We still have 3 games head to head (2 in T.O) a sweep can make up 3 games. They still have to play the 6ers 3 times, celtics pacers and heat twice. Then still have laker, nuggest, rockets mavs as tough western confrence games. Dont think they are going to win at the same pace after the all-star break.

Lots of pressure in Philly right now....If you go waaaay back in this thread there was a lot of discussion around Philly being different from last years team. Not necessarily better but different. Well one out of two as Philly limps into the AS break.
They don't have much in the way of outside shooting and the pairing of Simmons and Embiid still hasn't hit any kind of a sweet spot. Last year they had no one to come in off the bench to play for Embiid when the easily winded King of Cardio was subbed out and generally had a negative point differential as he sat. They fixed that by adding Al Horford for that role. At 100M$ thats a pretty high end backup. They of course play him more but its still an odd fit with Simmons Horford and Embiid at the same time.
There is still time for them to right the ship but so far it hasn't worked out the way the Hinkies had hoped it would.
Tough times in Hinkie-land right now. If they are still in 6th by March 1 I expect they stay there.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.
