The time is nigh. Later tonight, the Sixers will play the Detroit Pistons in their final game against a team they are chasing to the bottom. At the same time, the Warriors will be playing the Wizards. Detroit, Golden State and Washington all have 23 wins, three fewer than the Sixers. A loss tonight will give Philly a fighting chance at moving up as high as the fifth-worst record. A win and you can forget about it. If there was a day left to circle on your calendar, this is it. Excited?

A troubling benefit of rooting for a disaster of an NBA team is that what is really a pitiful docket of games turns into a night full of viewing pleasure. Check out tonight's NBA schedule, and my best-case scenario for the night after the jump.

If you look at the teams who have tanked successfully, without having a roster devoid of talent, traditionally they've had injuries to grease the skids, if you will. The Sixers have had some injuries this season, but none to the players who really matter when we're talking about winning and losing games. Heading into tonight's game against the Nets, perhaps quantity will make up for quality, where the injury bug is concerned.

ESPN UPdate Fractured Thumb for Young - no timetable for return I say done for the season ...

We've had a nice back-and-forth in the comments over the past month or so regarding the "blow it up" option. The logic goes that the Sixers are stuck in a vicious cycle as long as they're drafting in the teens and they'll never truly turn the corner until they become bad enough to get to the top of the draft. I've consistently fallen on the other side of the argument, for several reasons. One of those reasons is simply that we've been there before, I lived through it, and it wasn't pretty.

Yeah, my question was if you think we should blow it up, then why draft for a need?...
