Did Lil Wayne Play A Role In Beating Sixers Yesterday?

76ers backup shooting guard Lou Williams let the information out by accident and couldn’t get it back even though he went out of his way trying. A number of the Philadelphia 76ers went to the Lil Wayne concert on Saturday night and played terribly during their Sunday morning game against an awful Sacramento Kings team.

“It was a combination of things, and it doesn’t seem we came out ready to play,” he said. “We took a chance last night by going to the Lil Wayne concert.”

“There were guys who went to the concert who played well, and guys who went who didn’t play well,” he said.

“For me it was a bad day at the office. Now we have to get ready for the next game.”

Williams went 1-12 coming off the bench against the Kings.

I think the Sixers may have been distracted by the concert because there’s no telling what time they got home. They may have gone out to the “after party” after the game with Lil Wayne and his hangers on.

Sixers coach Doug Collins didn’t think his players going to the concert was part of the reason they didn’t play well against Sacramento, but he admitted it didn’t look good.

“It’s the perception more then anything else,” Collins said of his four players’ decision to take in the concert. “Just use good judgment – that’s all. I think the fact that it was a Noon start really magnified it, and when you have a guy that doesn’t play well it magnifies it more.”

“We talk about the continuing growth of our team. It is not only how you play but everything you do to give yourself the best chance to win. I told the guys to address it amongst themselves. Get together and discuss what you think is important coming down the stretch, how we need to do things and I am here for you. I am going to be that guy that always looks for a way to give us that edge.”
