The 76ers entered Sunday's action with the ninth-worst record in the NBA, but guard Rodney Carney says there will be no tanking.

"It's impossible," he said. "You get out there, your natural instincts are to try to compete to win the game. Rather than, 'Oh, I'll miss this shot.' No way."

Losing games would, in theory, give the 76ers a better draft pick in this June's NBA Draft.

"You hear about it, but you don't want to do it. We want to win every game we can, regardless of some higher draft pick we could get. We don't worry about that, and we don't want to think about it, either," Carney added.
