FILADELFIA (AP) Joel Embiid y los 76ers est\u00e1n felices de haber ganado la ventaja de local para los playoffs, pero est\u00e1n muy lejos de su objetivo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seth Curry anot\u00f3 20 puntos, Embiid tuvo 13 puntos y 11 rebotes y Filadelfia se asegur\u00f3 el primer puesto de la Conferencia Este con una victoria 122-97 sobre el Orlando Magic el viernes por la noche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Simmons agreg\u00f3 13 puntos y nueve asistencias para ayudar a los 76ers a mejorar a 48-23. Filadelfia podr\u00eda haberse asegurado a principios de esta semana, pero perdi\u00f3 en Indiana el martes y en Miami el jueves. Embiid no jug\u00f3 contra los Pacers debido a una enfermedad y registr\u00f3 solo 25 minutos contra el Heat mientras a\u00fan luc\u00eda lento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero estuvo m\u00e1s involucrado en el segundo cuarto contra el Magic, ayudando a Filadelfia a superar a Orlando 39-19 en el per\u00edodo para tomar un control firme. Embiid mostr\u00f3 la ventaja que lo ha convertido posiblemente en el atleta m\u00e1s querido de Filadelfia cuando recogi\u00f3 una t\u00e9cnica para una confrontaci\u00f3n con Shane Bacon con 3:16 por jugar en el per\u00edodo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abEstoy feliz por lo que logramos, pero tenemos un largo camino por recorrer\u00bb, dijo Embiid. \u00ab Ahora es el momento de encerrarse e ir a buscar todo \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los fan\u00e1ticos de Filadelfia reinaron con los c\u00e1nticos de \u00abM-V-P!\u00bb \u00abM-V-P!\u00bb En Embiid en la primera mitad. Y esos aplausos se har\u00e1n a\u00fan m\u00e1s fuertes en la postemporada, ya que la ciudad anunci\u00f3 esta semana que el estadio local de los 76ers puede tener un 50 por ciento de capacidad cuando comiencen los playoffs. Eso significar\u00e1 que alrededor de 10,000 fan\u00e1ticos pueden estar presentes, o aproximadamente el doble de la asignaci\u00f3n actual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los 76ers mejoraron a 28-7 en casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘
Los 76ers se llevaron por \u00faltima vez el primer sembrado en 2001 cuando Allen Iverson gan\u00f3 el premio al Jugador M\u00e1s Valioso, Larry Brown como Entrenador del A\u00f1o y Aaron McKie como el Sexto Hombre. Ese equipo lleg\u00f3 a la final de la NBA antes de perder ante Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal y los Lakers en cinco partidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filadelfia ha llegado a los playoffs 10 veces desde entonces, pero no se ha acercado a la final. El club comenz\u00f3 desde cero con el ex gerente general Sam Hinkie, y se reconstruy\u00f3 a partir de 2013-14. Los 76ers ganaron solo 47 juegos en las primeras tres temporadas de The Process antes de usar selecciones de draft altas en Simmons y Embiid ayud\u00f3 a cambiar las cosas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entrar\u00e1n a los playoffs por cuarta temporada consecutiva, pero la esperanza de un campeonato producido por Process sigue siendo esquiva. Filadelfia ni siquiera ha llegado a las finales de conferencia durante el tramo reciente, y la salida de los playoffs de la primera ronda del a\u00f1o pasado le cost\u00f3 el trabajo al ex entrenador Brett Brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahora, Rivers y el gerente general Daryl Morey, el exjefe de Hinkie en Houston, intentar\u00e1n ayudar a traer a Filadelfia su primer campeonato desde 1983. Los 76ers comenzar\u00e1n esa b\u00fasqueda el 22 de mayo y tendr\u00e1n la ventaja de jugar en casa mientras permanezcan con vida en el Este. Comenzar\u00e1n con una serie contra el sembrado No. 8, que vendr\u00e1 a trav\u00e9s de un torneo de entrada entre los sembrados No. 9 y 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abLo hicimos como grupo, sentimos que todos contribuyeron\u00bb, dijo Embiid. \u00bb Excelente cuerpo t\u00e9cnico, excelente recepci\u00f3n, el grupo que hemos tenido este a\u00f1o ha sido excepcional. A pesar de lo buenos que fuimos en la temporada regular, creo que seremos a\u00fan mejores en los playoffs \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Joel Embiid and the 76ers are happy to have earned home-court advantage for the playoffs – but they are a long way from their goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seth Curry scored 20 points, Embiid had 13 points and 11 rebounds and Philadelphia clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference with a 122-97 victory over the Orlando Magic on Friday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Simmons added 13 points and nine assists to help the 76ers improve to 48-23. Philadelphia could’ve clinched earlier this week, but lost at Indiana on Tuesday and at Miami on Thursday. Embiid didn’t play against the Pacers due to illness and logged just 25 minutes against the Heat while still looking sluggish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he was more engaged in the second quarter against the undermanned Magic, helping Philadelphia outscore Orlando 39-19 in the period to take firm control. Embiid showed the edge that has made him arguably Philadelphia’s most-loved athlete when he picked up a technical for a confrontation with Shane Bacon with 3:16 left in the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bbI’m happy about what we accomplished, but we have a long way to go,\u00bb Embiid said. \u00bbNow’s the time to lock in and go get the whole thing.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philadelphia fans reigned down \u00bbM-V-P!\u00bb \u00bbM-V-P!\u00bb chants on Embiid in the first half. And those cheers will get even louder in the postseason, as the city announced this week that the 76ers’ home arena can have 50 percent capacity when the playoffs begin. That will mean about 10,000 fans can be in attendance, or about double the current allowance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 76ers improved to 28-7 at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 76ers last took the top seed in 2001 when Allen Iverson won the MVP, Larry Brown the Coach of the Year and Aaron McKie the Sixth Man award. That team reached the NBA finals before losing to Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal and the Lakers in five games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philadelphia has made the playoffs 10 times since, but hasn’t gotten close to the finals. The club started from scratch under former GM Sam Hinkie, famously rebuilding beginning in 2013-14. The 76ers won just 47 games over the first three seasons of The Process before using high draft picks on Simmons and Embiid helped turn things around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will enter the playoffs for the fourth straight season, but the hope of a Process-produced championship has remained elusive. Philadelphia hasn’t even reached the conference finals during the recent stretch, and last year’s first-round playoff exit cost former coach Brett Brown his job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Rivers and GM Daryl Morey, Hinkie’s ex-boss in Houston, will try to help bring Philadelphia its first championship since 1983. The 76ers will begin that quest on May 22 and have home-court advantage as long as they stay alive in the East. They’ll start with a series against the No. 8 seed, which will come by way of a play-in tourney between the No. 9 and 10 seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bbWe did it as a group, felt like everybody contributed,\u00bb Embiid said. \u00bbGreat coaching staff, great front office, the group we’ve had this year has been exceptional. As good as we were in the regular season, I think we’re going to be even better in the playoffs.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
