Lil Wayne takes full responsibility for Sixers loss to Kings

Rapper Lil Wayne issued an apology for his role in the Sixers’ loss to the Kings on Sunday afternoon after several members of the team attended his concert the night before.

“I accept full responsibility for what went down on Sunday,” Lil Wayne, aka Weezy, said during a Tuesday press conference. “I should have been more aware of the affect my rhymes have on the outcome of NBA games. In the future, I promise to be more careful.”

Of the Sixers’ 36 losses this season, Lil Wayne’s silky flow and taunt rhymes have accounted for 35 of them, while the team’s poor play could only account for a single loss to the Cavaliers back in November.

Sixers turn to more convenient Strayer University offense

After struggling for much of the season to get anything going with Eddie Jordan’s Princeton offense, the Sixers’ head coach will switch to the more accommodating, but less popular Strayer University offense.

“Our guys are pretty overwhelmed and obviously can’t keep up with the Princeton offense,” Jordan said of his team after a 106-95 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. “I think going to the Strayer University offense would allow everyone to slow down and work at their own pace.”

The Strayer offense typically allows teams to run plays in a supportive, stress-free environment but very few franchises recognize it as a legitimate offensive option.

“We’re not really concerned about what others think about what we’re doing here,” said point guard Lou Williams. “We need an offense and can’t afford to keep failing with Princeton. We may not make it to the playoffs with Strayer, but it’s an offense we can still be proud of.”

Williams’ layup with 47 minutes left sinks Bobcats

The Charlotte Bobcats were unable to overcome a game-opening layup by Lou Williams with 2,877.4 seconds left on the game clock, giving the Sixers their fourth win of the season.

Williams finished with 19 points, including the game’s final bucket with 3.1 seconds left, but it was ultimately his first basket that proved to be the difference in the game.

“It’s just one of those things where you look up at the scoreboard, see that neither team has any points yet, and you try to get that perfect shot off,” said Williams of his first-quarter game-winner. “I had a great look at the basket, rolled it off the glass and that was the game. I don’t want to say that the rest of the game was a waste of time…but it kinda was.”
