00:00The Philadelphia 76ers in the Washington Wizards.

00:03The Wizards entered last night with the second-worst record around the NBA, 17-62 straight up.

00:09Philadelphia entered with the fifth-worst record in the association, 23-56,

00:15but Philly riding a 12-game losing skid.

00:18The only issue, DRS, your 76ers were booked as a three-point road favorite in D.C. last night,

00:25and they won 122-103 over Washington.

00:31You sound like you're okay with this, are you?

00:34Yeah, because I don't think the Mets can actually catch them as being a worse team at this point.

00:39I had the Sixers winning yesterday as a favorite and loved the game

00:42because understand what the Sixers are doing.

00:44They are professionals at tanking.

00:47Once they get below that limit and understand, like,

00:49now we can actually coach and play to win in the fourth court against bad teams,

00:52they're going to win basketball games, as they did last night with the 33-24 final.

00:57Understand this when the marching orders are correct,

00:59and I'm talking to you out there at New England Patriots and New York Giants.

01:03When the organization says, you know what, this is a lost cause, we go all in on this.

01:06In the fourth quarter, you're not drawing up the best plays,

01:09you're not taking the best players out here.

01:10You are actively tanking but still playing the basketball game.

01:13Once those restrictions are off, it's okay to win, and the Sixers did that.

01:17Like, understand this.

01:18The Sixers' starting lineup was Marcus Bagley.

01:20Yeah, Bagley was in the starting lineup with Bona, Butler, Grimes, and Lonnie Walker, the fourth.

01:25It's unrecognizable.

01:27But still, if you coach them to win against a bad team,

01:29they're going to have an opportunity to do that.

01:31Why?

01:31Look at the Wizards' starting lineup.

01:33Sar, George, Champagney, Carrington, and Johnson.

01:36Like, this is maybe the worst starting 10 between two basketball teams

01:40you might ever see in an NBA game because, quite honestly,

01:43how many of those guys are actually NBA players that were in the starting lineup?

01:48But the spot was great for the Sixers because all the restrictions were off.

01:52Hey, guys, go have fun and play to win the night.

01:54And they won.
