Never mind my local sports teams and their pathetic playoff woes. The teams to watch right now are in Philadelphia.
While I find it unlikely that the Flyers will beat the Penguins in their first-round matchup, the 76ers have a very real chance of making the NBA Finals. They’re the hottest team in basketball right now, and they’re playing like their looking to complete a Philly triple.
Philly triple?
You remember the Super Bowl, no? Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots.
College basketball? Villanova wins it all. (Villanova University is in Philly, by the way.)
Could the Sixers make for the improbable (and I believe unprecedented) Philly Triple?
If it happens, you heard it here first.
