Who Is The Worst Team In The NBA Right Now?
Contents
The Charlotte Hornets are the worst team in the NBA right now with a record of 13-50.
The Cleveland Cavaliers
Their record
The Cleveland Cavaliers are an American professional basketball team based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Cavaliers compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Eastern Conference Central Division. The team began play as an expansion team in 1970, along with the Portland Trail Blazers and Buffalo Braves. Home games were first held at Cleveland Arena from 1970 to 1974, followed by the Richfield Coliseum from 1974 to 1994. Since 1994, the Cavs have played their home games at Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland, which is shared with the Cleveland Monsters of the American Hockey League. Dan Gilbert has owned the team since March 2005.
The Cavaliers opened their inaugural season losing their first 15 games and struggled in their early years, placing last in the Eastern Conference during their first five seasons. The team won their first Central Division title in 1976, which was their first season as a winning team. The Cavaliers were one of the few teams that defeated Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls before Jordan won six titles with them. In 1997, they signined rookie free agent LeBron James, who quickly turned around the fortunes of the franchise; he led them to five straight NBA Finals appearances (2007–2011) and won a championship with them in 2016.
Their recent losses
The Cleveland Cavaliers have had a tough season, and their recent losses have been especially hard to take. They’ve lost four of their last five games, and they’re now in danger of losing their grip on the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Their most recent loss came against the lowly Atlanta Hawks, who are now just two games behind the Cavaliers in the standings. That loss was followed by a narrow loss to the equally poor Dallas Mavericks, and then a blowout loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
The Cavaliers’ problems are evident on both ends of the court. They’re struggling to score points, and they’re also giving up too many points. Their defense has been particularly bad lately, as they’ve allowed opponents to shoot 50 percent or better from the field in three of their last five games.
The Cavaliers are still a talented team, but they’re clearly not playing like a playoff team right now. If they don’t turn things around soon, they could be in for a long offseason.
The Phoenix Suns
Their record
The Suns have the worst record in the NBA right now. They are currently 18-47, and have lost 13 games in a row. This is their worst stretch of basketball in franchise history.
Their recent losses
The Suns have not had the best season this year, to put it mildly. As of February 11th, they have only won 11 games and lost 44. This is good for the second-worst record in the NBA, only ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers. They have lost 14 games in a row, and 23 of their last 24. In other words, they are really struggling right now.
Part of the problem has been that they have not had a true point guard all season. Their leading scorer, Devin Booker, is a shooting guard who has had to play point guard out of necessity. He is not a natural point guard, and it has showed in their offensive production. They have also been decimated by injuries, with several key players missing significant time due to various injuries.
All in all, it has been a very tough season for the Suns. They are clearly the worst team in the NBA right now, and it does not look like things are going to get better any time soon.
The New York Knicks
Let’s be real, the New York Knicks are the worst team in the NBA right now. They’re currently on a 17 game losing streak, they have the worst record in the league, and they just don’t seem to be improving. Ever since Carmelo Anthony left, the Knicks have just been a mess.
Their record
The Knicks have the worst record in the NBA right now.
Their recent losses
The New York Knicks are currently on a five-game losing streak, and they don’t seem to be improving any time soon. In their most recent loss, against the Charlotte Hornets, they allowed 130 points – the most points they’ve given up all season.
This isn’t the first time the Knicks have had a losing streak this season, either. They started off the season 0-3, then went on another four-game losing streak in December. They also had a six-game losing streak in January.
At this point, it’s safe to say that the Knicks are one of the worst teams in the NBA. They have a record of 15-36, which is good for last place in the Eastern Conference. They’re also currently on pace to have one of the worst seasons in franchise history.
