Sure, there are a small handful of teams that have just as bad or an even worse record as the Pelicans. And from a talent standpoint, New Orleans does possess a tantalizing collection of pieces for the future. But after getting embarrassed by 46 — a margin that still sounds fake — against the Mavericks Saturday afternoon, it’s hard to find a team currently worse than New Orleans.
The Pelicans didn’t compete on Saturday, that’s their words not mine, and the current eight-game losing streak has reached its apex. Surely it can’t get any worse?
For my sanity, it better not get worse than Saturday because if it does it’s going to be a long winter and spring.
