The Sixers at Five Weeks: Record-Settingly Bad?

0-16. That's where the Sixers are at. Two losses from tying an infamous bad start by the Nets (which didn't land them the top pick). San Antonio is coming in tonight, so it's hard to see the streak stopping before 17. They have some shot against Minnesota on Wednesday, though it's not great, and on Friday they'd face infamy against Oklahoma City. Next Saturday, they'd play Detroit too. That does put three teams with bad records on their schedule this week, but their record is worse.

This all seems like a big joke, and honestly it is. The product they are putting on the floor is terrible. Nerlens Noel appears to be improving as he goes, and MCW is getting back into it. K.J. McDaniels has impressed enough to stick around, as has Tony Wroten. Past those four, nothing is showing enough to stay on this roster. I'm interested in seeing Aldemir get over here from Turkey too. Honestly though, this team is a lot more than that away.

The Sixers have to go 10-56, a terrible record, to avoid being tying their own NBA record for futility. I do not see them achieving that. This team can easily win less than nine games.
