I don't want to jinx anything but Detroit are currently on pace for 6.8 wins.

Could we be dethroned as the WOAT team?

I think between them, the Wiz and the Spurs, there is a good chance for one of them to have the lowest winning % ever.

Spurs playing Sochan at the point instead of tre jones is literally intentionally tanking. I don't blame them. Get as much talent around Wemby before he blows up as possible.

The Heat, who beat us twice in a row, are currently losing 21-5 to the Bulls.

They are SO bad, but even still the odds are incredibly slim.

I think the Bobcats record will stand for a very, very long time.

It’s smart tanking too, they think sochan playing point guard now will make him a better wing later.

Putting development over everything else knowing they can’t compete

Feeling pretty good about the Pistons taking our record away from us.

I went to the game when the comfortably beat us early in the season. I remember looking at my friend and saying "This team might actually be a playin team; they made us look like kids." .... Now im worried we will be the team they end their historic L streak against.
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

Really like OG as a player but this feels a bit lateral.

At least the knicks are trying to do something we are content to just keep on losing, what is it now 10 in a row :banghead: .
I'm fed up with the excuses we've got injuries we've had that for 2 years straight now. Mitch just do SOMETHING

Haliburton with a 23 assist, 2 TO night. Last game he had 20 assists, 0 TO.

Really hope Melo learns to protect the ball like that.

I feel like they'll go on a winning streak now.

I hope they don't win many games, that 7 win Bobcat season needs to go away.

Good to see Perth boy Duop Reath make his way into an NBA team, he didn’t have Thon Makers hype machine and he had to work for it

Ive been watching most Portland games and hes been a fun surprise. Not much of an athlete, but has solid length for a center and can really shoot it from deep. Portlands offense is pretty awful and Reath helps grease the wheels a bit with his spacing whenever he is out there. You wish he was a bit stronger inside on both ends, though.
