"I still have to say the Eagles. Top to bottom, they’ve still got a lot of good players, and the draft is coming up soon so they can fill holes."
Dave Gambacorta,
3100 block S. Juniper Street
"I think the Sixers have a better chance than all of them because of Coach Brown, with his knowledge and experience with the game. And he has a good nucleus of players."
Al Payton,
2200 block Watkins Street
"The Sixers as opposed to the Flyers. I’m looking at experience. They’ve got a more experienced coach … and the nucleus of the Sixers is more intact than the nucleus of the Flyers."
Jamin Muhammad,
23rd Street and Oregon Avenue
"Flyers. I think they’re doing pretty good. They’re scoring more goals [than last year]."
Deanna Young,
Broad and Jackson streets
"I’d say the 76ers because of their experience. They seem to be more jelled — it’s not aimed at one player."
Winfred J. Mayo,
2200 block S. 23rd Street
"Since the Eagles fell in January, that ain’t happening. Flyers don’t have a shot, so I have to pick the Phillies. They’re the lesser of four evils."
Mike Piccolo,
