Worst team you have seen in action? 

Post#1 » by photek » Wed Apr 16, 2008 10:54 am

Can the Memphis Grizzlies or Miami Heat without wade and marion qualify as the worst teams you have seen play basketball. Not only their roster is abysmal but their team play or lack of it make them put dismal performances night after night. I mean if they was a seal of quality for teams to play in the NBA this teams wouldn't qualify.

I saw the Grizzlies against my Pistons this year and how man were they woeful. Rudy Gay missed 3 dunks in a row. They couldn't even keep the ball in their hands. It was over before half time.

Note:This was BEFORE they traded Gasol

present day knicks.

at least with the grizzlies and the heat you have a reason for sucking. the heat is in an obvious tank and full of dleaguers. the grizzlies have tons of young players and brian freaking cardinal who makes brian scalabrine look like jordan.

the knicks on the other hand are loaded with "talent" and still suck. it's just depressing to watch.

Bucks lost to the Knicks twice and the Heat twice. It's the Bucks people. Open up your eyes. But, next year it won't be. Next year we WILL be relevant again.

Knicks either last year or maybe it was the year before.

Those teams have NBDL players playing.

That Knick team just had souless bodies on the floor occasionally moving around. It was like some kind of poets acting out what mass depresion would look like playing basketball.

against those same Raptors :lol:

It's obviously Memphis... Miami has a bunch of NBDL players playing out the season... they have an excuse to suck. Memphis has a bucnh of lottery picks playing for them and they still are horrible. Mike Miller has my condolences.

when I was a kid my dad took me to a Celtics game vs the Clippers back in 1987, that Clippers team has to be one of the worst teams I have ever seen in person. I think they had like 13 turnovers in the first quarter of the game...they somehow ended up with over 100 points, but back then that was common for bad teams...

more recently the 96/97 Celtics were god awful and surprisingly worse than today's Knicks (on the court at least), Grizz and Heat. The Hawks team that landed them Marvin Williams (04-05?) was horrid.

However the absolute worst team I have ever seen on the court was that 92-93 Mavericks team...just utter garbage, horrible in every area really. Derrick Harper was their #1, they were rewarded with Mashburn however, and that yielded them another 2 or 3 wins the next season...

pre bron cavs were the sorriest excuse for a team ever. They were like the heat - wade/marion/haslem. Funny thing is Ricky Davis was on both of those teams.

The team the heat has been suiting up for the last month or so has been horrible. Chris Quinn is probably their best player. Otherwise the heat aren't that bad, they're just tanking.

I went to the Raptors vs. Heat 2 days ago and I have to say that this was one of the worst games ever.

People always say how superior the NBA is to the Euroleague, while in this case even a middle of the pack Euroleague team would have manhandled both of these teams.

Absolutely awful.

I think I may have just ended this topic.

http://www.basketballreference.com/team ... =n&yr=1997

The team started Anthony Goldwire, Bobby Jackson, Johnny Newman, Laphonso Ellis and Dean Garrett.

Fun facts:

They scored 89.0 points per game and allowed 100.8, a differential of -11.8.

They shot .417 from the field while opponents shot .473.

Johnny Newman, their highest-percentage shooter among starters, shot .431 from the field. Bobby Jackson, by comparison, shot .392.

Newman, starting at small forward for the team and playing 29.4 minutes per game, averaged 1.9 rebounds per game.

This was good for 11 wins.

Need I say more?


This clip will never, ever get old. I can never decide which is better -- the fact that Randolph violates about 15 different basketball principles on a single play, or Isiah's reaction. He looks like his face is about to split in half.

Honestly, this is no insult to the Hornets because they are a good team and very dangerous.

But their two games in Utah this year were seriously the worst games they played all year.

The first game they shot .329% from the floor, scored 71 points and committed 18 turnovers while it seemed like the Jazz could do anything they wanted.

Their second game in Utah they played a little better, but still turned the ball over 19 times, and Pargo was the only reason it wasn't a 40 point blow out.
