The Sixers coughed up 21 turnovers against a Washington Wizards squad that barely applied pressure. They got a horrid performance from their frontline players. At 7-7, they're just a .500 team at the moment.

Based on their recent performances, the Sixers are rife with mediocrity. Predictably, after watching film and conducting a two-hour practice, coach Larry Brown took time out to detail every single one of the Sixers' deficiencies.

"We're not getting a lot of shots," Brown said less than 14 hours after Jordan dropped 30 points on his crew to lift the 4-10 Wizards to a 94-87 victory on Wednesday night.

"We're not shooting a good percentage. We're taking a lot of bad shots, which doesn't allow us to set our defense. We're turning it over a lot, which creates scoring opportunities. And it's hard for big guys to go 94 feet and not touch the basketball.

"We had a really good practice today, but we've got to get everybody on the same page, where we execute and where the ball moves. We're averaging 16 assists a game. It's horrible.

"It's probably the lowest in the league. We're one of the league leaders in turnovers. We're one of the worst in causing turnovers. And we've always been the best at that. So there's a lot of areas we need to address and get better."
