I dunno. The Bobcats have been historically bad but teams nowadays seem to coast way too much for a historically bad team to win less than 9 games. No one would bat an eyelash if the future-Hornets caught the Heat, Spurs, Thunder, whomever at home and beat them, teams taking nights off against shittier clubs, coming off x amount of games in x amount of days, or resting guys means that no team will ever lose less than 9 games.
The Bobcats were on pace to do it a few years ago I think during the lockout season but if it was a full 82 games they would've caught enough teams towards the end to push themselves far above 9 wins.
