This article is about how the Sixers have a great chance of winning the eastern conference playoffs this year, and why they have a great chance of winning the eastern conference playoffs.
One of the key reason why this article says that the Sixers can win the eastern conference playoffs is because "they have great chemistry", another thing that this article states is "during the playoffs, they've solved an issue that haunted them
throughout the regular season—winning close games. Five of
Philadelphia's six playoff wins have come in tight games."
I also believe that the Sixers have a great chance of winning the eastern conference playoffs this year. The reason why i think this is because even tho the Sixers have no star players they are still a very young, healthy, and talented. Other teams have players that are as no in the best shape, like if the Sixers win this round they will have to play the Miami Heat and there star "Dwayne Wade" has knee problems and bosh is hurt.
Another reason why I think the Sixers have a great chance of winning the eastern conference playoffs is because they are a very fast team and they can get rebounds, if they get a lot of fast break points then it will be easier for them to win.
One thing that I think is holding the Sixers back is a star player, because if they had a star player to make big shots in close game situations I think they would feel a lot more comfortable in close game situations. But because they don't they will have to relay on what they do have, which is speed, defense , and there ability to get it in and score close to the basket.

To Be the Best Humans We Can Be
This article is written by a police man named Tim Wilson and it is about how he feels to say that actions speak louder then words, and he wants his kids to feel the same when they grow up.
Some details from the article are "live in the moment, do not attach yourself to physical things, treat others the way you would like to be treated, find happiness in the service of others, make the most out of today, follow your dreams, don’t take yourself too seriously". One more example is "But for me, it’s not enough to write down my beliefs. I try to be the best person I can be every day—even in very difficult circumstances, even with offensive people."
I agree with his statement that actions speak louder than words. The reason why i agree with the statement is because people can talk all day about what they want to be in life or what their going to do, but if you don't prove it with your actions it will just be another "Belief" that you have.
For example, I can walk around school and walk around the streets saying that I will be the best basketball player in the world one day, but if i don't put in the time in hard work it will just be a lost dream.
I think that if more people thought that actions spoke louder than words then there would be a lot more people who would go forward and do things with their life, and not just sit around, watch T.V, play the game, and talk about what their about to do but never do what they say.
I like to take action in things that I feel as tho i would like, and feel comfortable doing for the rest of my life.

New Fashion Wrinkle: Stylishly Hiding the Gun
"New Fashion Wrinkle: Hiding the Gun" is a article from New York Times, written by Matt Richtel. This article tells you about how clothing that has gun concealed pockets are starting to become a new trend.
Some evidence from the article is "Several clothing companies are following suit, building business around the sharp rise in people with permits to carry concealed weapons. Then Shawn Thompson said, "Most of the cloths I used in the past to hide my sidearm looked pretty sloppy and had my girlfriend complaining.
I think this is a good topic because many people feel the need to carry a gun because they think of the streets as not so safe, and if they had a piece of clothing they could just put their gun in without no one seeing it more people would feel safer. One other thing I think is that the law is a little to soft on the gun law, because just because you have a permit to carry a gun that make you any better then some one who has no permit. Permit or not you can kill someone for no reason just as others do.
I also think that if people have guns then it would make them feel like they could do any thing they want to people just because they have a weapon. If someone does something to someone that has an gun and they do not like what that person said then it will most likely end up in shooting and killing.
Some questions that I have is what does the government think about this situation? Or, do people think that this clothing will cause a rise in the crime rate?
This is some of the things that we should ask are self before creating and making new things to keep or hide guns.
