Lack of consistent effort has been the 76ers' Achilles' heel this week.
As a result, one has to wonder which Sixers team will show up Saturday night against the Phoenix Suns at the Wells Fargo Center.
Will it be the squad that fought hard Wednesday night in a victory over the Washington Wizards? Or will it be the team with lifeless efforts in blowout losses on Monday to the Houston Rockets and Thursday to the Minnesota Timberwolves?
Say what you will about the Sixers (2-10) during the previous three seasons. A roster filled with fridge players, they were purposely constructed to lose, and that they did.
