Seth Gupwell spent two years as an online journalist covering culture, lifestyle, and sports in New Zealand, and is now in his first year writing about the Sixers for Liberty Ballers.
After beating the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers last week, the Philadelphia 76ers are knocking on the postseason door. Wedging that door closed with a stale and cracking bun are the Bulls, who hold just a single-game lead over Philly.
It leaves a simple equation now: If Chicago keeps on losing, the 76ers will make the play-in. If the current form and turmoil of the teams in seeds 7-9 continue, Philly may even get higher than the 10th seed.
