Cooney: Sixers still showing their usual flaws

YOU SEE IT for the umpteenth time, and it's still not easy to find a solution. On Tuesday, the 76ers lost yet another winnable game down the stretch, this time to the lowly Orlando Magic. There were defensive letdowns, sloppy offensive possessions and head-scratching decisions.

It was kind of a microcosm of what this team has been about during its rebuild, but it also told a lot about where the Sixers might be headed, what they'll need moving forward and how these types of games might play out once the roster is healthy.

When Sergio Rodriguez hit a three from beyond the hash mark with eight minutes, 31 seconds left in the game, the Sixers took what seemed to be a commanding lead at 94-84.
