| The Philadelphia Sixers Hope To Stave Off Elimination Against the Miami Heat |
BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the NBA and they have the latest odds on this and all other games on the schedule. Miami gets its second chance to move into the second round on Wednesday night, when it brings a 3-1 series lead over the 76ers back home. The Heat were outscored 10-0 in the final 82 seconds of Sunday afternoon’s Game 4 at Philadelphia, and from that outcome came two predictable mindsets.The 76ers say they’re loose, playing with nothing to lose.The Heat say they’re focused, eager to send Philly home. Should Miami win on Wednesday, the Heat will immediately turn attention toward the long-awaited matchup with the Boston Celtics in the East semifinals.The Heat know the Celtics are waiting. Until win No. 4 against Philadelphia is in the books, they won’t profess to care. Some Philadelphia veterans, Elton Brand in particular, said before the series began that the Sixers’ collective youth would prove beneficial at times in this series. In short, Philly’s younger starters—three of the 76ers’ first five had never started a playoff game before this series began—are still learning the magnitude of the playoff stage. That’s not a bad thing, Brand said. It allows them to just play, even when facing a six-point deficit near the very end of a win-or-get-swept game like the one Philadelphia faced Sunday. So instead of flying to Miami for vacation, the Sixers are returning for Game 5. Collins brought his team in for a light Monday workout, before another practice Tuesday preceding the flight to Miami. The Monday session might have been one of the most lighthearted of Philadelphia’s season, but Collins felt it was necessary to get his players back in the workplace—if for no other reason than to put the joy of Sunday behind them. The message got out to his players and the Sixers will play with a nothing to lose attitude against the Heat and stay alive. Play on Philadelphia Sixers
