No matter what happens in Game 7, the 76ers have already won

Even if Boston advances, the 76ers should consider forcing a game 7 a win. They started out the season red-hot, but took a huge nose dive after the All-Star break. 76ers entered the playoffs as a 8th seed having to go through the #1 seeded Bulls. Lady Luck has been wearing a '6ers jersey ever since. Injuries to Derek Rose and Joakim Noah helped pull off the upset. Now an injury to Avery Bradley and Ray Allen has helped push this series to 7 games.
For Doug Collins and his young team to get this kind of playoff experience together will be phenomenal for the organization and the players for years to come. The NBA is a "rite of passage" sport. First you make the playoffs and exit in the 1st round. Then you get the second round or conference finals to lose a close series in 6 or 7 games. Only after that, you finally build the mental make-up of a champion. Luckily for 76ers fans their team and coach get to do this together.
