The 76ers weren't happy enough with second place on this list, so the year after, the same team went and lost 18 games in a row at the beginning of the season to tie the record holders.

While fans were being told to "trust the process", the 76ers didn't seem to be getting any better, even with the hyped up draft picks of Jahill Okafor and Joel Embiid, who looked like great prospects but were riddled with injury issues.

The 18 game streak stayed at just that when the Philadelphia 76ers overcame the Los Angeles Lakers who were going through their own rebuild after the retirement announcement of Kobe Bryant.

The 76ers joined the 70 loss club this season, ending with a 10-72 record, amassing four losing streaks of 12 games or over throughout the season.
