NBA:  

 

The Philadelphia 76’ers are in third place in the Eastern Conference, behind #2 Boston and #1 Milwaukee Bucks.

 

The Sixers team continues to struggle with player injuries.  If we had at least nine consistent, healthy players we would be in first place in our division with all the talent we have.  The team has clinched a playoff spot, however how far we go remains to be seen. This season may be Harden’s last season with the Sixers.  Harden is a free agent with a player option.  Rumors are swirling that Harden may return to Houston next season.   I am encouraged to know that the Sixers have the talent to make it to the finals, if the team stays healthy throughout the playoffs.

 

The NBA Playoffs are set to begin April 15, with 9 regular season games remaining.
