In the last four NBA seasons the worst team lost 15 (COVID-shortened (projected 19 over 82 games)), 17 (ditto; projected 21), 20, and 17 games.
This season, through 29-30 games, there are three teams who do not project to match the worst one of the previous four seasons:
The Army of Northern Virginia: 14-68
San Antonio: 11-71
Detroit 5-77
The Association is more uncompetitive this season than in any of the recent past. That’s a big problem.
