All hail the Sixers; get your Joel Embiid keepsake page

They say timing is everything.

Today we are all over the Sixers after their big first-round win over the Heat to advance in the NBA playoffs last night in front of 21,000 maniacal fans.

And as it so happens we have a little something extra for Sixers fans in today's print edition of the Daily Times.

In our centerspread you will find a full color keepsake page of Sixers center Joel Embiid.

Who do I feel best for this morning? No question, it has to be Brett Brown.

While everyone else was trusting 'The Process,' he was the one who had to go out there and face the microphones after all those losses.

Under Brown, it was just two years ago the Sixers won a total of 10 games, while losing 72.

The year before that they won 18. Last year they won 28.

This year? 52 wins, that's a 24-game improvement.

Brown certainly looked like he was enjoying the moment after the game.

He deserved every second of it.

Here's columnist Jack McCaffery's take on the team.
