Who here is betting the raps will overtake the 72-73 76ers?

^ u misinterpretted that quote.... it says "worst 82-Game NBA Records in History (Through 17 Games)", meaning, worst record to end the season.... I didn't realize that the Clippers were 0-17 during the lockout season, but Orlando did in fact start with a 1-19 record: link Just last season the Bulls started with a 3-14 record and that too is not found on the list: link

iunno...but we're already a third from breaking the record..no way we get the record...if we do...i'm gonna make all the raptors cry in the corner
The season is still young, i think the team can turn it around (a bit). Im certainly not expecting the playoffs (for a couple of seasons) though. Things can only get better..........
yeah...toronto got an awful team but i don't think it will be degraded into "one of the worst team in history" at least not yet i am pretty sure toronto can get more wins than Burnett, if they don't...then...OK...they are one of the worst teams in history
