Who Expected This?

I really don't understand what is going on. The Sixers, despite finishing last season strong, making the playoffs, and adding Elton Brand, are not a good team. They lose winnable games all the time. Wednesday they had a chance to beat Orlando but once again they left Lewis open in the corner for another 3-pointer. I understand losing to Boston right now but I wish they stacked up with them better. Yesterday's loss at home to Chicago was simply ridiculous. They once again failed to guard the 3-point line and pretty much dared players to make shots. Professional NBA players will normally make wide open shots. They are last in the division despite hopes to make noise in the Eastern Conference. They have the worst home attendance in the Eastern Conference despite all the hype around adding big players. They have a newly re-signed SG who is shooting under 40% from the field despite shooting over 46% for his career. Pretty much not a lot has changed since this time last year except Elton is taking some of the other players' scoring load. Something has to change fast or this team will quickly find themselves needing to make up wins against teams that are far superior.
