Philadelphia 76ers – Loser
We already know Sam Hinkie has no problems with building for the future and making Philly fans suffer through season after season of ineptitude. This time around, the NBA has helped push that along by dropping the most brutal schedule on the Sixers.
They have 19 back-to-backs and are one of five teams to have four games in five nights…..TWICE! They’re also one of only two teams to be burdened with multiple 6-game road trips. Yes, they play in the East, but what good is that when you’ve got a schedule like this.
