The lowly Detroit Pistons are poised to equal an infamous record of all-time consecutive losses should they drop their looming tilt with the Boston Celtics this coming Thu., Dec. 28, but former Celtics player and assistant coach Evan Turner had some thoughts on epic losing streaks based in his own experiences as a player for the Philadelphia 76ers, who hold the record for the most consecutive games lost in a streak spanning the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
Speaking with cohost Andre Iguodala on his “Point Forward” podcast, ET related that he was part of a different iteration of the Sixers which nearly reached such ignominy with 26 straight losses. Turner breaks down what such a rough ride is like for the players — as well as the motivation behind some of those long losing streaks from a front office point of view.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what Turner and Iguodala had to say about epic losing streaks from the perspective of the players on the team.
