Seven games left, four against teams below .500 (home and home against the Hawks and games with the Pacers at home and the Bobcats at Charlotte) and three against teams above .500 (Pistons at home, Wizards in Washington, and Cavaliers at home). I'd love to see the Sixers finish strong here, going 5-2 or even 6-1. The fifth or sixth seed is still in play, heck even the fourth seed is (though I think that's a bit of a pipe dream).
Last night they played a good game in Jersey, with basically everyone contributing (with the exception of Reggie Evans, every starter had 10+ points) but Dalembert has to be the stand out in my opinion, going 5-8 with 15 points and grabbing 13 boards. Iggy and Miller also had double-double nights. I know that two game losing streak put a little damper on their efforts in March, but seriously, they still went 11-4, which is still great. I think they have a real shot to finish very strong heading into the playoffs and hopefully do some damage there.
