The Flyers and Sixers have work to do for a playoff berth.
So the 76ers are in the playoffs, kind of, and the Flyers still might be, and if only everything were that simple.
But the mood at Flyers practice Monday was not one of nerves and stress. The Flyers instead were loose and kept the mood light despite the high stakes in front of them. As John Tortorella said:But while the Flyers’ playoff pulse is still beating, it’s not as simple as win and you’re in. That was the scenario in 2010 when Danny Brière, Brian Boucher, and the Flyers hosted the Rangers in the most dramatic of season finales.
The Sixers compete in their first NBA Play-In Tournament game against the Miami Heat on Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center .J.T. Realmuto expected a down-and-away slider. Instead, Yunior Marte uncorked a sinker, 98 mph and tailing in to the right-handed batter. Realmuto moved his mitt at the last second. But the pitch clanked off the outside of his left wrist and skipped away.
