In the 2010-11 NBA season the Cleveland Cavaliers lost 26 straight games. In the 2013-14 NBA season the Philadelphia 76ers lost 26 straight games. These two teams are tied for the longest losing streak in the NBA, but it could be broken quite soon.

With 15 straight losses this year and 10 straight losses to end the season last year, the Philadelphia 76ers are close to breaking their own record of 26 straight losses. The 76ers have been 5 points away from the win this season but have yet to reach it. It has been a tough start for the 76ers and pretty rough for the fans. If it’s not your team these streaks are kind of fun to watch, but once it hits your team, it hurts.

This bad start must be pretty hard for 76er rookie center Jahlil Okafor as well. After having a great freshman year at Duke, winning the NCAA tournament, Jahlil decided to go pro. Duke fans were sad to see their star freshman go and they are not to happy to see what has happened. Duke fans have put together a #SaveJahlil and a little video to go with it. Enjoy.
