COACHES Mo Cheeks has arguably done more with less talent, than any coach in the league this season. He has found a way to get his players to believe not only in his system, but also in themselves. Flip Saunders had a hefty 'to-do' list at the start of the season. And if you look at his body of work, you have to give him credit for achieving all that they set out to do in the regular season. • Advantage: Sixers
