To say the Philadelphia 76ers first round matchup against the Miami Heat is physical is an understatement. Technical fouls have been a major storyline through four games, as each team has drawn the eyre of the referees on several occasions. In just four games the Miami Heat have figured out how to push the Sixers buttons, and while the Sixers have a 3-1 lead in the series each game feels like a war. The Heat have seemingly embraced the role of the villain, and by doing so have forced the Sixers to grow from a young team with their first taste of playoff basketball to a group who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty in order to win.
