Not trying to be reactionary but 0-82 might be in play.

That would be the best sports story of all time. B&B mentioned that according to some oddsmaking site, the Sixers are underdogs in every remaining game this year.

the nets went 0-18 5 years ago. but of course...5 years ago may as well have been 80 years ago because no one remembers that anymore.

That and no one remembers the New Jersey Nets. Rumor has it they won the East back-to-back. Can't confirm, though, no Jigga no care

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Anyway, the season is full of meaningless games that I imagine at some point several teams will willingly lose to Philly just to keep legs fresh. (side note: I know Popovich has an older team, but he has it completely right on how to manage the time off. And I'm still pissed off at that bullshit fine from Stern. It's late and I should go to bed, but one of the biggest abuses of being a commissioner that I can think of.)

i watched some of their game last night
i also watched some of the Wolves-Clippers game

the Wolves, while awful, at least show promise and are actually pretty fun to watch- Wiggins had a monster alley-oop in the first half...
but they definitely have some talent
they will lose a lot, but it will be because they're a young, talented team making dumb mistakes down the stretch

the Sixers on the other hand, look absolutely devoid of talent. like there's not even any hope
Noel has looked ok, i guess.....and if Carter-Williams is your best player...
they just look like that have no energy and while i can't blame them for having no confidence, they clearly dont
on a lot of possessions the Spurs were basically just giving them open looks, and they couldn't hit. every other time it was pretty much a dumb turnover
its one thing if teams are playing lock down defense, but if they're giving you open looks and you can't hit , you're really fucked

Sixers are horrendously bad. This game would have tied them for the record for worst start ever. You know they are going to come out with a little more edge than they normally do. Wolves probably walked in their home building and were like "We got this". So, it's a trap game.

Biggie must be taking gambling tips from Dignified Rube.

i was actually somewhat surprised they won
they had a lead about halfway into the 4th quarter but then the Wolves came back and took a 3-4 point lead, i thought at that point they'd fold

they "won", but in reality it was just that they were slightly less awful than the Wolves. it was a brutal game to watch

Two more centers drafted in the first round and they get a free slurpee.

i have to believe they're trading one of those centers they have. but i don't know which one provides the best all-around game for them in the future. i just don't like what they're doing right now...i can only hope it pays off.

Embiid will never amount to anything. Big guys with early injury problems don't have a great history of recovering.

The Philadelphia 76ers will explore trading Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel in the buildup to the NBA draft on June 23, according to league sources.

Sources told ESPN that the Sixers are determined to gauge the trade market for both Okafor and Noel and are increasingly likely to move at least one of them in conjunction with the draft, in which Philadelphia holds the No. 1 overall selection for the first time since selecting Allen Iverson in 1996.

In recent weeks, rival executives have been forecasting Philadelphia to be one of the most active teams this offseason in terms of pursuing trades, with new personnel boss Bryan Colangelo known to be aggressive and openly determined to speed Philadelphia's return to playoff contention.

In an interview with ESPN Radio's "Russillo and Kanell" earlier this month, Sixers coach Brett Brown hinted at the club's desire to be active.

"Think about these types of resources," Brown said during the interview. "We have the first pick. We have the 24th and 26th pick. On our current roster we have Nerlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor, Jerami Grant [and] Robert Covington. We had a [2014] draft class that effectively redshirted in Joel Embiid and Dario Saric.

"For the first time in my four years, we're going to enter a legitimate approach to free agency."

Colangelo, for his part, told Bleacher Report Radio last week that "everybody is thinking about winning as opposed to prolonging the rebuilding process."

‎Sources describe Okafor, at this early juncture, as the most likely of the two to be moved in the wake of his rocky rookie season off the floor.

But the Sixers are known to be considering a wide range of possibilities, given the prospect of fellow lottery picks Embiid and Saric finally making their Philadelphia debuts next season to add to the Sixers' deep frontcourt and the well-chronicled concerns about whether Okafor and Noel can play together.

After winning the recent draft lottery, Philadelphia is in the process of choosing between LSU's Ben Simmons and Duke's Brandon Ingram with the first overall pick.

Among the options the Sixers have is trying to trade Okafor or Noel for another high pick in the looming draft to address their backcourt needs or building a package around either one in a trade for veteran talent, either in June or in July after free agency starts.

The NBA is so weird. Have a draft where no one wants anyone after the first two picks. When you do get the supposed prize like Okafor you trade him then. How can rosters be filled with so little talent?
