Doug Collins has begun his return to the sidelines with a 2-10 record as head coach of the Sixers.

"It's tough, very tough," said Collins. "That's why, when you got winnable games, you have to win them."

The Sixers are approaching their worst start since the 95-96 season.

"I don't care if somebody says you are rebuilding or you are starting whatever, still you want to win basketball games," Collins said. "That's how you are judged."
