The Philadelphia 76ers will face the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals tonight. The game will take place in State Farm Arena, in front of a host of rabid, success-crazed Hawk fans who want to see a team from that city do the improbable. Not long ago, the Sixers were up 2-1. Now, on the heels of two historic collapses, they find themselves in a 2-3 hole.
Nobody has been a harsher critic of the Sixers in recent days than the Sixers’ fanbase.
