Sometimes you have to give the people what they want. In this instance, what they want are more nationally-televised Philadelphia 76ers games. Maybe folks out there are actually enjoying these contests, like when you rubberneck while driving by a car accident on the other side of the road. Perhaps morbid individuals out there are deriving a stange pleasure in gazing at this absolute 15-car pile-up of a Sixers season. Or maybe the league should just divvy out these national games a little more evenly at the beginning of the season so this sort of thing happens less often.
Anyway, Sixers fans will not have a case of ‘Will the Sixers slip up and accidentally win a game against someone like Portland?
