Owner Michael Jordan might want to consider renaming the franchise the Bob-Kitties, because Charlotte's failures are reaching epic proportions.
With a 15-point loss on Leap Day, the Bobcats now only trail the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers for worst win-loss percentage in a single season. The Sixers historic 9-73 season (.110 winning percentage) is in jeopardy of falling.
That only tells a part of how bad Charlotte has been. This team has not been competitive at all.
The Bobcats have lost 10 game by at least 20 points, and just one team, 1992-93 Dallas Mavericks, had a worse margin of victory.

Charlotte has the second to worst defense in the league, and its offense is worse, averaging just 86 points per game. Its three leading point scorers have a total two full NBA seasons under their belts. That offers a glimmer of hope for the future, but not the present.
In the meantime, this team does not have to try hard to go for the gold and become the worst team ever. At least that would be something.
Once you hit rock bottom, there is certainly no place to go but up.
