VIDEO: 76ers get whooped again, Warriors fans start Marreese Speights 'M-V-P' chant
For the second game in a row, the Philadelphia 76ers lost by more than 40 points, becoming only the second team to do so since, ironically, the 1993-94 Sixers team.
Only team I have losing by 45+ in back-to-back games is 93-94 Philadelphia 76ers. Lost by 48 at NYK on April 21 and by 45 at IND next night

On Sunday they lost 123-78 to the Clippers and Monday they fell 123-80. While Sunday's game resembled a Harlem Globetrotters - Washington Generals game, Monday's looked more like summer league, nothing close to NBA defense or effort from the 76ers.
Golden State fans stuck around for three quarters of the slaughter at Oracle Arena, even chanting "M-V-P" for reserve forward Marreese Speights, who had a game-high 32-points.
Even he was shocked.
Mo Speights, smiling, on Oracle showering him with MVP chants: "I was like, 'Wow. They're really doing this right now?"

Partway through the game, most of Twitter was watching to see if the Sixers could have the worst back-to-back games of all time. Sadly, they fell just short of the mark, losing by a combined 88 points between Sunday and Monday.
Via @eliassports -- 76ers could be headed towards this mark-- worst pt differential in consecutive games-- 1966-67 Pistons-- 95 points

When did the Sixers turn into the Washington Generals? #NBA

But it's going to get better. Maybe.
Philadelphia's next two games are against Utah and Cleveland, so they should only lose those by 30 points each.
