Things have gone from bad to tied for worst for the 76ers.

There’s little doubt that Mark Cuban was right about teams attempting to tank. Some teams like the 76ers have tried and succeeded. Others tried to win and then realized they sucked too bad to give a damn like the Milwaukee Bucks. I’m not sure there’s any fix to stop teams for tanking for more ping pong balls, but it’s a shame when fans of any franchise have to suffer like this. – AL
