the notorious S.A.C.

The subtle fact we would be in 2nd now if we lost the two games we won and even possibly have a shot at #1...just a thought.

A good example of why Philly is better than us.....it even looked lopsided years ago. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orlando-magic/magic-basketblog/os-mbb-orlando-magic-philadelphia-76ers-payton-trade-20140629-post.html In Henny we trust...lol.

lol....and in fact we drafted Saric FOR THEM....AND TRADED THEIR FIRST BACK TOO....for the awning Elfrid Payton. Priceless. If that doesn't demonstrate the differences between the franchises nothing does. It was astute management versus a 6th grader.

Going to make a late season playoff run.....then figure out were out of the playoffs.

Fans can figure it out pretty easily but after nearly a decade our management cant figure it out....and they're paid to figure it out....go figure.

No we needed to learn to not win meaningless games late in the season. God knows we are going need to tank again next year....might as well learn how to get it right this year.

Id rather get #1 or #2 and trade down to #6 and pick up a first or two next year instead.

it would have been a hell of a lot better to just lose the two games we won. We had a real shot at #2.

Microphone drop moment....two in a row now....it just sucks to be correct sometimes.

Wait for it....weve got another two wins in this streak.... could you imagine being the Dallas Mavericks in April beating the Orlando Magic 102-89. You break the tie with Orlando leaving Orlando as the 2nd worst team in the league. A meaningless win no doubt.....anybody remember Jimmy Jackson? He is the guy Dallas got after that tie breaking win....we got Shaquille O'neal....and its even worse the heat jumped them and got Alonzo Mourning. Laettner went to Minny leaving garbage for Dallas. Anyone want to know why Mark Cuban is deliberately tanking need only ask how much losing Shaquille O'neal cost the Mavs.

Grant Hill and his 7 year albatross contract say hello.

Yes I do...I havent enjoyed the last decade of gross incompetence and mismanagement by our team. Ive pointed out two late season 3 game win streaks which would put us in a substantially worse position than 3 meaningless losses would. I am aware that our picks didnt drop substantially for 2 of those 3 years but this year is quite different as I have said. Quite frankly when we knew we were horrible which was usually about mid January we should have gone full tank rather than half tank. I know no one likes to lose but Id damn sure rather be in the Sixers shoes than ours and its not even remotely close. They are probably 5 years ahead of us best case. Truthfully who the hell wants to watch a 20 win team or even a 30 win team with bare bones assets. Its just not fun period. Here is to losing out until years end...great loss to the Hawks today.

Lets see we won 2 of the last 4 last year which dropped us from a tie with Philly one spot The year prior we won 6 of the last 10 (including a meaningless 3 game win streak) dropping from 5 to 9 The year prior to that we won 3 of the last 7 (including another meaningless 3 game win streak). We are winning over 50% of these meaningless late season games...for what? Does it really inspire the players or fans for the next year after losing 50-60 games and being the worst team in the league? Prior years haven't been as bunched up as this group of tankers either. Another 3 game win streak and we drastically reduce our chances in the lottery and if we don't hit the lottery we probably drop 4 spots from where we are. A higher pick is a better asset period...if we move up one more spot we may get an Embiid or Porzingas and not a project talent like Mario.

Im waiting for the usual meaningless 3 game win streak at years end that screws us every year but it hasn't happened despite Vogel playing our starters way too much for proper tanking. These next few games are so meaningless to this season but so meaningful for our future rebuild. Hopefully someone in our organization values the tank accordingly.

No the team has been crap for one hell of a long time regardless of him....although he does help.
