Worst of the Night: December 16, 2008

The Sacramento Kings: From Basketbawful reader Eric G: "The Kings lost by 32 last night despite the fact that the Blazers only shot 41.4 percent and 4-for-15 from three. Why? Because the Kings were 13-for-61 (21.3%) from the field in quarters 2-4. At one point they went on a 7-47 stretch from th...

Worst of the Weekend: Man love edition

The Houston Rockets: Remember how I scoffed at T-Mac's Friday night success against the Warriors? I did so with good reason: He shot 5-for-17 on Saturday. In fact, as a team the Rockets shot 35 percent, leading to a double-digit beatdown. To the Clippers.

Worst of the Night: December 9, 2008

NBA.com: Basketbawful reader Dan was quick to point out a snark-inducing snafu after last night's Lakers-Kings game: "At the end of the 113-101 Sacto win over the Lakers, NBA.com has its usual team names, logos, and final score posted as well as a list of players who produced, but in Sacrame...

Worst of the Weekend: Birdmas weekend edition

Washington Wizards: When I gave their record, I should have preceded it with "an Eastern Conference worst." Oh, this is the first time the franchise has been 3-14 since the 1966-67 season, when they were the Baltimore Bullets. The Golden State Warriors: The losing streak reached eight aga...

Worst of the Night: December 3, 2008

The Washington Wizards: Well, they lost to the Portland Trail Blazers at home last night, which is no shame in and of itself. After all, in case you haven't noticed, the Blazers have quietly won six games in a row and accumulated a 14-6 record...second-best in the West and fifth overall in the le...

Word of the Day: dead coach bounce

Another notable dead coach bounce happened in 1994 when Magic Johnson took over the head coaching job in L.A. The Lakers -- who were 28-38 when Johnson took over -- won their first Magic-coached game 110-101 against the Milwaukee Bucks and even managed to win five of six (including a 101-88 v...

Worst of the Night: November 24, 2008

The Orlando Magic's free throw shooting: Admittedly, I didn't watch the Bucks-Magic game, but I will always find a 54-21 advantage in free throw attempts for the home team a little eyebrow-raising. But whatever. Here's the crazy part: The Magic missed 16 foul shots...which they had almost as...

Worst of the Weekend: The Twilight of Suck

The Sacramento Kings: Despite making their game against the Lakers semi-pseudo competitive, they still suffered through a winless weekend that saw them get give up 117 and 118 points (respectively) and get outscored by a combined total of 31 points. GO KINGS!!

Worst of the Night: November 19, 2008

The Houston Rockets: They looked nearly helpless without Yao, scoring only 86 points on 37 percent shooting. AT HOME. Said Rick Adelman: "When you don't have Yao, you've got to move the ball and you have to create situations. We don’t have a lot of guys who can break you down off the dribble." No k...
