The Philadelphia 76ers took in their sixth consecutive loss and continued to be awful on the defensive end. Here are a few of the players’ post-game grades.

The Philadelphia 76ers keep looking bad, and they’re not showing fans that they are making much progress as the season progresses. We can only hope that this team is just in some sort of a defensive slump that will work itself out soon, because over the last several games they have given up well over 100 points and failed to put up equal amounts of points. They are improving themselves offensively, but playing incredibly lazy defense.

The grades aren’t highlighted very well, but there are a few shining faces amongst the losses. This list doesn’t feature any big men, but there wasn’t a whole lot to rant and rave over there. Nerlens Noel ended the game with just 3 points, and Jahlil Okafor did well as usual with 13.

Isaiah Canaan hasn’t been anything special, but that’s not exactly new.

Ish Smith has been falling a lot lately.

Hollis has been going crazy.

The team has a lot to work on, and we shouldn’t have expected a win with the awful play they were coming off of just the night before in Philly.
