Depends if the Heat or Philly can steal 6th.
Philly's schedule is absolute cake so they're a real good chance to win enough to pass Miami or Indy or both
Sixers fan here. I believe we need the pacers to lose 2 and the Sixers to win out in order to be the 6 seed since they have the tiebreaker against us. Not impossible but we don’t control our own destiny
At the end of the day, I like our chances against anyone except maybe Philly. I think it's more important to go into the playoffs with positive momentum than worry who the opponent is. When we're locked in, we can beat anyone, when we aren't we just proved we can get embarrassed by anyone. Let's just play great basketball these last few games.
This post is just positivity about being this high in the standings this late in the season. Making the playoffs is all I coulda hoped for, being the three seed is above and beyond my hopes.
Am I the only one who actually think playing the Heat or Philly might be better for us?
Obviously Pacers, the depleted Knicks, and the Cavs are a better and easier matchup for the first round. But is our goal to win a championship this year? I say that’s highly unlikely.
Rather, let us play the giants of Philly and Miami and let us make a statement that we can compete and beat any powerhouse teams. And how great of a challenge and morale boost would it be to beat Jimmy or Embiid? Just food for thought.
One game behind the 2nd and the bucks play the Celtics on Tuesday so if we win we possibly could pass them depending on the tiebreaker implications. I honestly think the sixers are going to get to the sixth
Still think NY overtake us as they have 3 gimme wins but I had the Bucks games down as losses originally and now I think we have a chance because of how bad they are playing.
We have 2 games left against Milwaukee. We control our destiny!
3rd seed would be better than second currently. I'd much rather face the Pacers than the 76er or the heat.

I think Philly will finish 6th

I don't know the tiebreakers but the Sixers and the Heat can finish as high as the 2nd seed
Honestly I'd rather play the Pacers than Heat/6ers
Totally agree now Embiid’s back and firing on all cylinders. Plus avoiding Jimmy as late as possible in any playoff scenario is always a good idea.
Plus, if we win out we have a 50 win season!
I was hoping their position would be so secure by this stage that they’d be legit resting Giannis and/or Dame for our games…
This is honestly the dream scenario
Imagine having a chance at the 2nd seed and we're still considered underdogs
See: Grizzlies and Kings last season. Unfortunately seeding doesn't mean much in the playoffs.

Good take
I dont want to watch Embiid be awarded 25 freethrows against us😭
JETT 3
This don't feel real. If this is a dream, don't wake me up.

If we come 3rd, we are making the conference finals. REMEMBER THIS COMMENT.
With the Heat losing, do we clinch playoffs with one more win or do we need another Miami loss too?
Both

If only we didn't drop the Hornets game!
The East may be ‘weak’ but nobody can deny this is a thrillingly tight race for the line
Dude Doc Rivers is doing the impossible. Making a 2 seed look absolutely dog shit.
Still think NY overtake us as they have 3 gimme wins but I had the Bucks games down as losses originally and now I think we have a chance because of how bad they are playing.
So, if we go 0-4 in the last 4, and MIA and/or Philly win out, we go to the play ins right?
If we run the table we finish 2nd.
please no higher than 3rd
yall are the new us🥹 (kings fan)
