The Sixers welcomed the Detroit Pistons to the Wachovia center tonight as they continued to play out the rest of this lifeless season. This one was another total drag. Sammy Dalembert and Elton Brand each played only about 12 minutes, so there wasn't much defense for the Sixers to speak of. In fact Detroit shot a whopping 62% from the field and 47% from the beyond the arc with 8 treys. You're not going to win very often when the other team can't miss and the Sixers didn't tonight. In fact they got blown out by 21, 124-103, against a team that had lost 12 in a row. Only the Sixers could do something like that. It's just another clear sign that they've given up and perhaps that they're throwing games to improve their draft positioning.
If nothing else the Sixers did score tonight. Jrue Holiday was solid with 11 and 9 assists, Andre Iguodala chipped in with 12, and the Sixer bench combined for 61 points(21 from Mo Speights, 19 from Jodie Meeks, and 12 from Lou Williams who finally returned from the DL tonight). So that at least kept things somewhat exciting, but that's about all there was to cheer for the Sixers tonight. With the loss they drop to 26-51 overall, incredibly still good for 12th in the East.

The lack of depth in the Eastern Conference is pretty crazy. The Sixers are so bad yet they are in 12th is pretty crazy. Hopefully they keep up the losing to get a solid draft pick.
