Seth Gupwell spent two years as an online journalist covering culture, lifestyle, and sports in New Zealand, and is now in his first year writing about the Sixers for Liberty Ballers.

So, Chicago must falter for Philadelphia to prosper to the postseason.
As each game of the Sixers’ brutal January schedule ends as a loss, the case for a tanked season grows stronger.
