    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">While the 76ers are a long way from where they thought they would be after their 50th game of the season last night, they say they're having a little more fun these days.

    "It's hard to have fun when you're struggling like we were," Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks said before the game against the Charlotte Bobcats. "But I thought their attention was still there, trying to win games, trying to play hard and do all the things the right way. Fortunately for us, the last few games, we've shown the result of those things.

    "I thought they still came out and tried and did all the things we wanted them to do before. Now we've won a few games, so obviously it's going to be a little more fun."

    The Sixers had won six of their last 10 games entering last night.

    After the Sixers defeated the New Jersey Nets Monday night in overtime, forward Kyle Korver talked about how much he is enjoying the game.

    "It's just fun playing basketball on this team," Korver said. "It really is. Going to practice is fun. Playing the games is fun. We're turning it around. We're not winning as frequently as we'd like to, but we're doing much better. Everyone is just growing and finding new roles. It's a lot of fun to be a part of."</div>

    Start losing,I assure you that you will have more fun next year at the same time with Greg Oden or Kevin Durant playing with you.

    Sports are always a lot better when you're just having fun. Like winning, is fun.

    Its always fun when there's no pressure on you to win. None of these Sixers are going to be blamed for anything this year. They're just having a paid vacation.

    Yeah, and sometimes, it makes the game easier for you. It's like, always when a championship contender is playing against the worst team in the league, the bad team han no pressure on, but the greatest teams have pressure, cause they know that their fans are waiting for a easy win.
