Sixers lose their fourth straight

Just when I thought the Sixers were going to end the season on a hot streak, they hit a bad patch. On Thursday night they played the Bulls in Chicago, and, despite being even at halftime, they let the Bulls run away from them in the second half. Last night the Sixers were back at home to take on the Cavs, and that game went pretty much as expected. It's hard to blame them for losing to a team as good as Cleveland. Unfortunately, the Sixers' record has now dropped to 40-39, and they're perilously close to falling under the 500 mark. There are only 3 games left in the regular season, and they need to win at least 2 of them. Of course, technically it doesn't matter because they've already clinched a playoff berth, but I don't like to see them lose. Their final two games are against Boston and Cleveland, so I can easily envision them ending up at 41-41, or even 40-42. I don't know who they're first-round playoff opponent will be, but it's almost assured that they'll start out on the road.
