, Phils win the World series? I am think they can do it!!!
Better chance that all 4 major sports are at least in the playoffs... When is the last time that happened (in Philly)?
It's noon on 4/23, and the Flyers still SUCK! Go Pens!, Phils win the World series? I am think they can do it!!!
An interesting fact is that 1980 was the only time a city had all four major sports teams reach their respective championship game. Of course, in true Philly fashion only one (Phillies) won. But this is still quite an accomplishment that may never be matched again. Philly and Boston are the only two cities have all four reach a finals since 2000 with Boston having won at least one in all four sports (Philly had two).Better chance that all 4 major sports are at least in the playoffs...

Even though he’s from OH, kgilbert78 might know off the top of his head. That guy’s amazing when it comes to stuff like this.Better chance that all 4 major sports are at least in the playoffs... When is the last time that happened (in Philly)?

The west is really, really strong in the NBA. They have two teams, perhaps three, that beat anyone in the east (at full strength).
all good points. And one never knows when you get into a final if an opponents key player isn't 100%. Indy looks really good in the east, as do the sixers, Celts and Raptors. Right now, money is on the Raptors. The Cavs haven't had time to gel, coach doesn't have a rotation he can count on, and the new guys that don't have playoff experience are being overwhelmed by the moment. If they get their feet under them, Cavs will be in the Final. If not, look out for the pacers. What is really amazing is the athleticism of the East this year. Pacers, Raptors, Wizards, Minn, sixers all have excellent athletes that can run and jump out of the arena. Good defenses as well.Actually, I think the East has really closed the gap this year. All 8 playoff teams in the east are relatively solid, and 3 of the bottom 4 seeds are tied 2-2 in their respective series. It isn't like years past where the 7 and 8 seed would enter the playoffs with losing records and lose in 4-5 games.
Regarding the West, I really think it is just Houston and GS who are without question better than anyone in the East. Even Houston trailed most of Game 1 to MIN and got beat convincingly in game 3. Though GS is probably still the clear favorite, they still have the question mark with Steph out. The 3 seed, Portland Trailblazers got swept by New Orleans - looked absolutely horrendous.
As for OKC and Utah - I don't think either are significantly better than Indiana or especially Cleveland. Despite CLE's woes throughout the season, I think they're much better now than the beginning of the season.
Oh, when the Flyers lose, as they have since '75, it's a niche sport. If they were winning the Cup, you would be singing their praises! Typical Philly logic or illogic, as the case may be.We are talking about the big 3 here, not niche sports.
and a selfie??Should Phila. teams accomplish this feat - I promise to insert my car keys into my buttocks
Sad, but true. Hockey is not a national obsession in the US believe it or not.Oh, when the Flyers lose, as they have since '75, it's a niche sport. If they were winning the Cup, you would be singing their praises! Typical Philly logic or illogic, as the case may be.
I think he’s aping your (or a fellow Pittsburgher’s) lack of logic re: pre Super Bowl NFL Championships not counting.Oh, when the Flyers lose, as they have since '75, it's a niche sport.

No, but it’s nice that the teams are trending up. Sixers appear to be on the verge of greatness while the Eagles are the rare team with 2 franchise QBs., Phils win the World series? I am think they can do it!!!
