The thing with the Sixers is, they had a 3-2 lead and took us to 7 games last year with Doc Rivers and that loser James Harden. Now they upgraded big time at coach, dumped Harden, and have a more complete team with a deeper bench. So yeah... to me it's Philly. Then Miami. I'm not so sure Philly is "fodder" for us anymore, all the recent matchups have also been tight and well-played.
It's why I root for MIA to finish at the 6 or 7 seed. Let all of PHI/MIA/MIL cannibalize each other while the C's hopefully play a sacrificial lamb in the 1st round, then a 2nd tier team in the next.
