The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the biggest stories in the NBA world for all of the wrong reasons. The franchise has (still) yet to win a game during the 2015-2016 season, and as a result, we still lack an answer toĀ last week’s questionĀ concerning when Brett Brown’s team will actually tally a victory.
