The Philadelphia 76ers sputtered into the 2016-2017 NBA season. But how is the team doing in the grand scheme of things?

The Philadelphia 76ers are in the midst of another losing streak. Right now, that stands at six (the team has not won since an April 5th victory over the New Orleans Pelicans). If the team cannot defeat the Orlando Magic today at 7 PM, the Philadelphia 76ers may be in for a bit of a drought in the success department. The next true chance for a victory arrives on Saturday, November 19, against the Phoenix Suns in Philadelphia.

But right now, losing streaks are the last thing on the minds of Head Coach Brett Brown.

Despite a complete changing of the guard at the front office, the team finds itself right back where it left off to begin the 2015-2016 season. Deja Vu? More like recurring nightmare.

But if you were expecting a fast start to the season, that’s upon you. This team was expected to start slow and finish respectively, and so far the team is on that track.  But what was not expected was the proliferation of injuries to the roster at season’s opening for the second season in a row.  It surprised everyone when Jerryd Bayless discovered disappointing results following up on a wrist injury after being named the starting point guard.   Once more, the team would scramble for the starting point guard.
