The Sixers have now come played two games against the vaunted Boston Celtics. Won one and lost one. Both by a single point. In Boston.
Now they come home to what should be a raucous Wells Fargo Center for Games 3 and 4 on Wednesday and Friday.
For some reason the Sixers always feel like the stepchild of Philly sports. We live and die with the Eagles and Phillies. There is a fanatical core of die-hard hockey fans for whom the sport is religion. Then there are the Sixers.
I think that’s about to change.
Anyone else remember the feeling you got when Allen Iverson stepped over that fallen L.A. Laker as the Sixers took Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Yes, it was 2001, more than a decade ago.
But it felt damn good.
I think it’s about to feel that way again.
Give the credit to Doug Collins. He’s the manic, driven coach who has willed this group – that plays as a team without a superstar – to this point.
