The Philadelphia 76ers have not won a game since late January, piling up 15 losses in a row, and coach Brett Brown says he’s legitimately worried his club, now 15-46, won’t win another game (the Vegas over/under was 16.5).
“All the time, I tell them that,” Brown said, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. “This is the truth. … I think there is wins in that locker room if we get back in transition and we just have a chance to guard and we play together.”
Um, has he looked around that locker room?
The flagrantly tanking Sixers dealt leading scorer Evan Turner (along with Spencer Hawes and Lavoy Allen) at the trade deadline. What’s left is a collection of talent so marginal and oddball that reviewing Philadelphia’s boxscores becomes an almost fun game of “Who’s he?” and “I didn’t know he was in the NBA!”
On Tuesday night, the Sixers used 12 guys in a 125-92 loss in Oklahoma City. See if you can pick them out from this alphabetical list of 24. The real Philly rotation is revealed below the photo.
