It makes sense for the Sixers to put themselves in the best position possible for the NBA Draft, but they could show a little more fight than they did Monday.
The latest in a season-long series of low points, the 76ers’ 142-110 loss to the Chicago Bulls Monday night elicited a response from some of the leaders in the locker room.
The Sixers trailed by as many as 50 points without Joel Embiid. “We just don’t have the habit of a champion or a playoff-contending team," said Paul George.
The 76ers fell in a massive blowout to the Chicago Bulls on Monday at the Wells Fargo Center. After at one point building up a ridiculous 50-point lead, the Bulls beat Philadelphia 142-110. It marked the 76ers’ eighth-straight loss, which is now the team’s longest losing streak since 2017.
The 2024-25 season has not gone the way that the Philadelphia 76ers had hoped for or imagined. After securing the services of nine-time All-Star Paul George this past summer, the Sixers had expected to become contenders. However, that is far from the case.
