Coach just trying not to get fired for winning
No..Money..Mo..Problems
it is what it is
I said it before and I'll say it again being a bad team is one thing throwing games on purpose is just fukin sad. Why even play the game when everybody knows u are trying to lose just forfeit. This is the same team that scored 0 pts against the bucks in the last 8 minutes after being up for most of the game.

What's funny his how people don't give a shyt here, including the usually ruthless Philly media.Let me take a quick drive to philly and showcase excellence
If it wasn't for the majority-black population, the Sixers would be volleyball status in Philly.
It's unfair to the fans and for the league as a whole. And keep in mind this is still a business. What kind of business move is it to intentionally put out a shytty product just for the small chance that a once in a lifetime player like a LeBron, Duncan, or Anthony Davis falls in your lap? And it makes a mockery out of the league. It's supposed to be a league of professionals and the best players in basketball and you have a glorified D-League team masquerading as an NBA team. Oh hell no.

I thought nothing could beat the fukkery of 1984 but the Sixers are really trying 
The wacky ending to that regular season was tied to the Akeem (later Hakeem) Olajuwon Draft - though it would also famously produce such consolation prizes as Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and John Stockton. By the time the teams involved were finished tanking games in 1984, David Stern instituted a draft lottery for the 1985 draft.
Tanking paid off in '84, big time. The Bulls got Jordan by dropping 14 of their last 15 games that spring, including their final five. The Rockets earned Olajuwon by losing 14 of their last 17, nine of their last 10, and their final five. Aging Elvin Hayes, a shadow of his old self, played a full 53 minutes of an overtime game for Houston during a 129-128 loss to San Antonio in the 81st game of the season. As one local Houston reporter, Fran Blinebury, recalled, "He looked like he needed an IV stuck in his arm out there."
In Dallas, coach dikk Motta fumed because his Mavs owned the Cavaliers' first pick in the draft, and Cleveland therefore had no incentive to tank like Chicago or Houston.
The same was true with Indiana, which had traded its pick to Portland, and with the Clippers, who had dealt theirs to the Sixers.
"Weird things were happening," recalled Pat Williams, who was GM at the time in Philadelphia, and would choose Barkley at No. 5. "A lot of funny stuff going on, leaving a dark mark on the integrity of the game."
Frank Layden, the former Jazz coach and executive, said years ago that he had been told by a Rocket executive there was, in fact, a conspiracy of failure at hand in 1984.
"They were losing on purpose," Layden said. "It was a business decision."
The league's board of governors instituted a lottery system weeks after the 1984 draft to make certain this nonsense would never happen again. Because of that decision, Patrick Ewing ended up on the Knicks in the 1985 lottery, even though the Pacers and Warriors finished with worse records.
