Sixers Are In A World Of Trouble...

...at the worst possible time of the year! They have now lost 5 in a row which is a season high. They have blown their chances to lock up the 5th seed unless a miracle happens. A miracle that would include beating Boston at home tomorrow night in what is likely Kevin Garnett's return and then playing in Cleveland on Wednesday against a Cavs team that just so happens to be 39-1 at home this year. They are falling apart and are now 2-5 without Thad Young. Miller has had to pick up more of the scoring and therefore his assists have dropped, teams have locked in more on Iguodala, and Speights has hit, crashed, and died against the "rookie wall". I can't remember the last time I saw him hit a jumper from the top of the key where he used to be a force. Also, he is getting consistently victimized on defense and found to be in poor positions.

The Sixers better at least get their heads on straight heading into the playoffs if they plan to make any noise whatsoever. Yesterday was a must win if we wanted the 5 seed. Since they lost, I can only assume they are fine with the 6 seed, provided Chicago doesn't steal that from us as well.
