In front of their largest home crowd of the season, the 76ers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies last night, 102-97, which was a little like tripping while walking across a stage.

Only minutes after the game, Sixers coach Eddie Jordan walked to the news-conference podium. His words, without provocation, were scalding.

“There were two different teams out there tonight,” Jordan said. “One sort of rallied around each other, and the other fragmented. That’s just being honest, like I like to be. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. We had five individuals on the floor. We didn’t rally around each other. We should have won this game.”

Jordan said “no leadership” existed.

He delivered a similar message to his team.

“He said something like that when he came in here,” starting forward Thaddeus Young said. “That doesn’t do anything when a coach is telling you stuff like that. That doesn’t do anything but make us go back to the drawing board.”
