But the Sixers have shown that you can eventually claw your way out of the bottom. As long as you don't suck at drafting with your high picks like the Browns in the NFL.

The Suns are bad because they can't develop their high picks so they end up being worthless, and they go to other teams, where they are sometimes better.

I missed the game, I'm watching it on game replay.
I can't help but notice that the Celtics either had a lot of injuries or, stupidly, rested a load of players.
