The Philadelphia 76ers are bad right now. Real bad. So bad that they've lost 22 games in a row. And unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's an end to the losing in sight. The Sixers haven't been able to beat teams like the Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic, or Utah Jazz during their current losing streak, so we're betting that they won't be able to beat teams like the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, or San Antonio Spurs, either. And those three teams just so happen to be the next three teams on the Sixers' schedule.
The Sixers' woes aren't completely unexpected. When the team traded away Spencer Hawes and Evan Turner last month, released Danny Granger, and essentially committed to tanking sucking for the rest of the season in order to get a solid selection in the loaded 2014 NBA Draft, their fans knew that they would be bad. But they probably didn't count on them being this bad. So you really have to feel for anyone from Philly who is still keeping up with the Sixers' season or, worse, paying good money to catch Sixers' games at the Wells Fargo Center. It's hard out here for the Sixers' faithful fans.
How hard? Well, to show you just how bad things have gotten over the course of the last month and a half for Sixers' fans—the team's last win came against the Boston Celtics back on January 29—we found a bunch of Phillie Phanatic GIFs (don't worry, it's almost baseball season, Philly fans!) that illustrate exactly how Sixers' fans have been feeling during the losing streak. Hopefully they'll help a few Sixers' fans out there laugh through their tears.
