Losers of eight straight games, the Philadelphia 76ers are now so far into tank mode that the United Nations is investigating their status as a hostile aggressor. The craziest part is the Sixers are emerging from a relatively easy stretch of games. They just lost to Toronto, Chicago, and Brooklyn twice — teams that have circled the date of the NBA draft lottery on their calendar for months. Now, Philadelphia has a much tougher portion of the schedule coming up, facing the Knicks, Warriors, Blazers (playing relatively well lately), Wolves, and Celtics. If they were sinking against the dregs of the league, they’re about to go subterranean.
