Place: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA

Oh, boy. We don't want to be the first team to lose to these guys. However, our team is doing their best to fire them up:
Suns guard Eric Bledsoe told Sirius XM NBA Radio this week that Kentucky, where he played in college, would beat Philadelphia 4-1 in a series.

Go Suns!!!

The Suns are not exactly setting the league on fire. Just quit making comments like this or Kieff's about KCP. Play, win and shut up.

I think play, win and shut up is a good motto no matter how well or badly you're playing

The Sixers are really, really bad. The chemistry is also becoming really toxic. MKW is getting into it with the coach even. I think tanking carries a lot of hidden costs. Turning your players sour and building a losing culture is hard to get back out of. I'm glad that even when we were bad, we still tried hard and showed some pride.

The 76ers are the league's youngest and most inexperienced team. Nine undrafted players have been with them this season. They rank last in points per game (88.6), field goal percentage (40.2) and free throw shooting (64.3), a stark difference from a Suns team that thought their 88 points in a Wednesday win at Detroit was ugly.

This was interesting:
* The last word goes to Shawn Chapman McDaniels, the mother of Sixers rookie K.J. McDaniels. Chapman McDaniels, who tweeted in October that the 76ers were a "screwed-up program," was apparently upset after her son scored eight points in 11 minutes of Wednesday's loss to Boston and is believed to have tweeted, "They are tanking the season (expletive) over my son and yes I and KJ fans are livid."

Four minutes into the game and we've yet to put the ball in the bucket. (Our only points are from a goaltend on a shot that would not have gone in). Down 10-2. Kentucky would have a better start.
