Philadelphia's week to avoid ignominy has arrived

To avoid getting off to the first 0-19 start in NBA history, Philadelphia must beat San Antonio, Minnesota or Oklahoma City before Friday.

As if things weren't bad enough, they're mired in a seven-game skid against the Spurs, a five-game slide against the Timberwolves and have lost 10 straight against the Thunder.

The 76ers have lost 22 straight games against Western Conference teams, doing so by a daunting average of 21 points per game.
