Sixers currently 7th seed and 2 games behind Celtics for the 3rd seed

The Sixers beat Cleveland on Friday103-98 to move into the 7th playoff spot in the East. They maintained the 7th seed and moved closer to the Celtics with another win Saturday over Washington 112-106. This win was huge, because it was an away game without their two stars, Allen Iverson and Chris Webber. Willie Green stepped up huge to fill Iverson's shoes.

The Sixers' next game might be one of their biggest games this season. They play the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, and if they win, they will be 1 game behind the Celtics for the 3rd seed in the playoffs. The bad news is that they might be without Allen Iverson again because of his two sprained thumbs. Willie Green will need to step up again if the Sixers plan to win without Iverson.
