5. Memphis Grizzlies
Although the Grizzlies have talent, they haven’t been able to translate that talent into wins. They’ve lost nine of their last ten games and there’s growing noise that head coach Mark Iavaroni is on the hot seat.
4. Sacramento Kings
Things may actually get worse before they get better for the Kings. They are last in the league in point differential at -9.0 and they don’t have much of a team concept at this point. Sacramento is in desperate need of a trade to spice things up.
3. Oklahoma City Thunder
Not too long ago, the Thunder were regarded as the worst team in all the land. But they’ve played much better recently and there are signs that they might be starting to get their ship turned around. Winners of half of their last ten games, the good news is that they have a young, talented core that appears to be dedicated.
2. Washington Wizards
With the second worst record in the NBA just ahead of the Thunder, the Wizards are already looking forward to the ping pong balls. The team is so bad that Gilbert Arenas and the decision makers are questioning whether it is even worth it for Arenas to make a comeback this season.
1. Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers earned this spot in the rankings because they don’t have much of an excuse. While they are battling injuries, they have a roster of veteran players who should be able to find ways to win. Right now they are horrible and they are headed for another Clippers-like finish.
