They won 17 in a row heading into the playoffs last season. Didn't mean squat. That's preferable to not playing well down the stretch, but I'm not sure there is much of a correlation in the NBA. Playoffs are a total reset.
Brown in a tight games scares me far more than anything else at this point.

I agree with you and meathead. If you aren't going to try or care, then rest Simmons, Butler and Harris, and let the Bluecoats play.
However, all I keep hearing from Brown is "this team needs more time to gel".
It seems to me that this team has had enough time to "gel." They're professionals. I'm not concerned with how they finish the regular season, but I think excuse time is over. They have the talent to win right now.

They are talented enough to win the East, although that isn't necessarily my marker. My expectation is Eastern Conference Finals. I think that is a very reasonable for this team right now. Anything less would be disappointing.
Let's be real... Milwaukee is arguably the best team in the NBA, so if the Sixers are good enough to win the East, they are good enough to win the whole damned thing.
I don't think Milwaukee is as good as GS or Houston. I don't think Milwaukee or Toronto are anything special. Sixers are arguable a more complete team than either. I would actually fear a hot Boston team more than either of those. Just my opinion.
All that said, I still don't think we get out of the East. Just my gut.
