Sixers are even as Flyers go up 1

As I’ve recently mentioned, I am excited about playoff hockey. I actually almost watched a game that the Flyers were not in. I’m not sure if my enthusiasm will continue once the Flyers get eleminated, but I can try.

I am baffled as to why the Sixers lost game 4 at home. Going into halftime, they had a lead that any good team should be able to hold onto.

Out of the 2 teams both playing clearly superior teams (at least in the regular season), I think the Flyers have the best chance to move on to the next round.  As much as I would love to see the Sixers upset the Pistons, I just don’t see it happening.  So go ahead Mo Cheeks – please prove me wrong.  If they sneak past Detroit they might even be able to win another round going against a weaker team then the Pistons.

How are the Phillies over 14-12?  Rollins and Victorino are hurt; every free agent they signed other than Lidge is doing horrible; Ryan Howard is on the bench; Brett Myers has not yet adjusted back to his starter role – and yet, they’ve had the best April this decade of any Phillies team.  I think this year is going to be one of those years.  I love how that can happen in baseball.
