Time Is On Their Side

The smoking gun. And yet, nobody is looking for it. You see, this is a team that is losing, but not trying to. This is a team as injured as last year, but not on purpose. This is a team that is NOT tanking because… well… because a Colangelo said so.

As of today, the Philadelphia 76ers have seven wins and twenty losses. That is last place in the current NBA rankings. Say it’s not tanking, call it competitive effort, call it a young inexperienced team. Whatever you call it, the results are in and they are still the same.

For all the bravado of a father touting the basketball mind of his beloved son, the outcome is undeniably the same. The Philadelphia 76ers entered this season limping, again.  The Philadelphia 76ers have a major player out for the season, again.
