Sixers PR man Mike Preston (@preston76) tweeted a link to this article, “Eight Teams that Could Crash the Playoffs Party” (is that like a pants party?), which lists the Sixers as a potential postseason candidate.

How much more can you temper expectations?  Imagine if the Phillies tweeted out a link that gave them a chance of making the playoffs.  We’d be outraged.

It’s not Preston’s fault- he has to make the best of an unfortunate situation.  But when did it become acceptable for our basketball team to celebrate mediocrity like this?
