Bad News comes in Threes

Yes, it's true. Bad news comes in threes. It was the Sixers three game left coast swing. They needed to win two of three to continue leading the charges for the eight and final playoff spot in the eastern conference.

Instead the Sixers suffers two straight loses to end their jet lag jaunt through LA, Sacramento, and the land of the Suns, Phoenix. So that's (1) a loss to the Kings (Kings 118 76ers 109) the Kings shot 73% from the 3 point line (11-15), five straight in the fourth and deciding period. (2) a loss to ... no ... a thumping by the Phoenix Suns (Suns 116 76ers 87) and (3) The Sixers loose Chris Webber to a shoulder injury. Webber is expected to miss the next 7-10 days.
