MIAMI - Good luck, Philadelphia. Nike Air Max Just Do It Kopen .The 76ers will need it to avoid NBA ignominy.To avoid getting off to the first 0-19 start in NBA history, Philadelphia must beat San Antonio, Minnesota or Oklahoma City before Friday. As if things werent bad enough, theyre mired in a seven-game skid against the Spurs, a five-game slide against the Timberwolves and have lost 10 straight against the Thunder.No, the odds are not with Philadelphia right now, and the sheer magnitude of the losing is staggering.The 76ers have lost 22 straight games against Western Conference teams, doing so by a daunting average of 21 points per game — which isnt a good sign for a team that will play its next three against teams from the stronger side of the league.The 76ers have seven wins in their last 65 games. The Philadelphia Eagles have seven wins in their last 10.At 0-16, the 76ers already have the fourth-worst start in NBA history. Lose to the NBA champion Spurs on Monday, and the 76ers will tie the 1999 Clippers and 1988 expansion Heat for the second-worst, 0-17.The New Jersey Nets are the not-so-proud owners of this particular record, going 0-18 to start the 2009-10 season.Finally, while all this is bad, things could actually get worse for the 76ers.If they lose all 14 of their games in December, theyll finish 2014 with a 10-72 mark. That would surpass the Dallas Mavericks, whose 11-73 mark in 1993 represents the worst full-calendar-year record in NBA history.Winning once would save Philly from that dubious distinction.___Besides Philadelphias quest to avoid making history, heres some of what to watch in the NBA this week:PIERCES WEEK: Washingtons Paul Pierce gets to renew acquaintances with Kobe Bryant on Wednesday when the Lakers visit the Wizards, and Pierces third trip to Boston as an opponent is on Sunday. Pierce enters this week 52 points behind Reggie Miller for 16th on the NBAs career scoring list.SPURS-GRIZZLIES: The defending champions go to Memphis on Friday night, a matchup of two of the Wests current frontrunners. Memphis comes into the week an NBA-best 15-2, and the two losses — both on the road — were by a total of five points. The Grizzlies led both of those games in the final moments.SKIDDING EAST: Its not only Philadelphia thats in a freefall in the East right now. Charlotte enters the week on a nine-game slide (including four losses by 20 points or more), and Detroit has dropped its last eight games. Its possible that when the 76ers and Pistons play Friday night, Philly could have lost 18 straight, and Detroit could be on a 10-game slide.CAVS IN CANADA: Preseason Eastern Conference favourite Cleveland heads north on Friday to take on East-leading Toronto, which will be without All-Star and leading scorer DeMar DeRozan because of a torn left groin tendon.GETTING HEALTHIER: Even with DeRozan out for presumably a few weeks, some star power is back. Derrick Rose has appeared in four straight Chicago games (he did leave one early) for the first time in just over a year, and Dwyane Wade returned to the Miami lineup at New York on Sunday night after missing seven games with a strained left hamstring.___STAT LINE OF THE WEEKStephen Curry, Golden State: He had 40 points against Miami on Nov. 25, finishing with at least five assists and five 3-pointers made for the 51st time in his career — one more than the previous NBA record, held by Ray Allen. For good measure, Curry eclipsed five assists and five 3s the next night at Orlando, as well. Air Max 2019 Goedkoop . Yup, he definitely needed this one. Craig homered twice and had three RBIs Wednesday night to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 7-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Craig went 4 for 5 and Yadier Molina added three hits for the Cardinals, who salvaged the final game of a three-game set in hopes of staying within shouting distance of front-running Milwaukee in the NL Central. Nike Air Max Sale Nederland . In the late match, Shinji Okazaki scored two goals to pace Mainz to a 3-2 victory at Werder Bremen. Goals from Milan Badelj, Maximilian Beister and Hakan Calhanoglu ended Hamburgs two-match losing run and kept Hannover winless in seven games. http://www.airmaxkopennederland.com/uitverkoop-air-max-720.html . The 7-foot-1 Hawes, who is in the final year of his contract, is averaging 13 points and 8.5 rebounds, both career highs, and shoots 40 per cent from 3-point range. The 25-year-old Hawes is in his seventh NBA season.Marit Bjoergen lived up to her billing as the hot favorite by winning the womens 15-kilometer skiathlon at Sochi on Saturday, giving the Norwegian cross-country skier her fourth career Olympic gold medal. Bjoergen pulled away from Swedens Charlotte Kalla on the final straight to win in 38 minutes, 33.6 seconds and defend her title from the 2010 Vancouver Games. Kalla was 1.8 seconds back. Heidi Weng of Norway took bronze. Bjoergen was the most successful athlete of the Vancouver Games with three gold medals, a silver and a bronze and showed right away she has the ability to match that feat in Sochi. With a group of five skiers staying together until the last kilometer, Kalla tried to pull away in the final tough uphill section and decide the race before the final sprint. Only Bjoergen was able to match her pace going up the hill, and the Norwegian then went in front as they entered the stadium. Kalla had no answer for the strong finish by Bjoergen, who had time to turn her head and then raise her arm in celebration as she crossed the line. The skiathlon event starts with 7.5 kilometers of classical-style skiing before switching to freestyle, making it a tough test of the athhletes all-round abilities. Nike Air Max Kopen. Kalla won the 10K freestyle event in Vancouver four years ago and showed she has vastly improved her classical style skiing since then. She has never finished on the podium in a skiathlon on the World Cup circuit and celebrated as if she had won on Saturday, raising her arms to celebrate as she crossed the line behind Bjoergen and then jumping up and down holding her skis in the air. She prevented a Norwegian sweep of the medals, with Therese Johaug finishing fourth. Aino-Kaisa Saarinen of Finland was fifth. Justyna Kowalczyk of Poland, a three-time overall World Cup winner who has been struggling with a foot injury, was with the leading group of seven skiers at the halfway mark but slipped and fell just as she was about to enter her station for the ski change and lost several seconds. She exited the ski change 7.4 seconds behind Kalla, and never came any closer during the freestyle. Entering the last lap, she was nearly 19 seconds behind and she finished sixth, 58.1 seconds back. The next womens event is the individual freestyle sprint on Tuesday, when Bjoergen is again among the favorites. The mens 30K skiathlon is Sunday. ' ' '
