Cymerman Chronicles: Sixers- not playing with heart

5 straight losses. That is what the Sixers have done lately. The rumor about Eddie Jordan getting fired is getting more like reality. The losing streak goes back to last Tuesday night when Philly took an 11 point lose at the hands of the Pacers, who were without their leading scorer Danny Granger, who was serving a one game suspension. Things didn't get much better when they came home to not only lose but get blown out by Charlotte by 15. After that loss that's when the coaching change rumor started to get really heavy. A 5 point loss two days later to Lebron James and the Cavs just adds to the disappointment. Can you see a trend here? I do it's called heart and that is exactly what the Sixers are lacking. This would all continue on Sunday when Philly traveled down south to take on the Miami Heat. Dwayne Wade would score 38 in a 13 point win. Philadelphia would come back home the next day and was hoping to end the drought when the Knicks came to town. This was probably the worst of any of the games. When Iggy shoots 0-7 from behind the arc and you only score 29 points in the 2ND HALF, you will not win. A 94-84 Knicks win isn't what the Sixers were hoping for.

    It looks as though the Sixers have given up on winning games this season. They are playing Kapono, Smith, and Meeks. I guess Eddie Jordan wants to see what he has for next season. I don't know if he knows it yet, but he will not be back next season. That is if I was Ed Snider. The next two games are against the Nets and the Knicks. You have to think that if they lose both that Jordan could be on his way out. Let's see what happens with the Sixers. The season is almost over. Are they just playing for a better draft pick? I think they are. The draft is not as deep, which could be why they are starting to play the bench more. You can check the Sixers on Wednesday as they take on the Nets. It will probably be a loss, but what the heck it could be entertaining. Probably not.
