Sixers' coach Brett Brown eager for the NBA Eastern semis

Boston and Milwaukee face off Saturday night in game seven of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series. The winner gets to face the Philadelphia Sixers who knocked off Miami in five games in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Sixers coach Brett Brown said he was "shocked" that the Sixers were able to knock off the Miami Heat in just five games in the first round of the playoffs. That series ended Tuesday with the Sixers advancing to the playoffs' next round.

It was the Sixers' first playoff series win since 2012 so Sixers' fans are hungry for more success from the team. Boston is a number two seed in the playoffs and Milwaukee is a number seven seed.

Brown has been with the Sixers since August of 2013 after working on the San Antonio Spurs' coaching staff for 11 seasons. He has four championship rings to show from his time with the Spurs.

Philadelphia was not a playoff team last season and ended the year with a 28-54 record which makes this year's 52-30 regular season record even sweeter.

Boston or Milwaukee? Who will the Sixers face next? Saturday night's game between Boston and Milwaukee will decide it.

Philadelphia has not won an NBA championship since 1983.
