08:11 AM ET 04.23 | At least Charlotte won't have to endure a full schedule this season. The Bobcats need one more victory to avoid the worst winning percentage in NBA history. ... Having extended a team-record losing streak to 20, the Bobcats don't appear to have much left with which to fight. Their best healthy scoring option, shooting guard Gerald Henderson, was held to nine points on 3-of-11 shooting. Rookie point guard Kemba Walker finished with 13 points and 11 assists, but coach Paul Silas said he's wearing out Walker in the absence of injured point guard D.J. Augustin. Any chance Augustin (right knee tendinitis) plays in any of these last three? "I'm not really sure," Silas said. "I'm hoping that he plays, because we need him."

to avoid being the worst team ever at least in terms of winning percentage.

Doubt Augustine will make any difference tho

While teams like my Raps will be hurt by winning one of their last couple games, the Bobcats will be #1 in lottery positioning either way so they better be going all out to get that last win

And embarrassing for the Raptors. They have given the Bobcats 2 of their wins this year and lost the season series to them lol

On the other hand, Jordan will get "Executive of the Year"

April 23, 2012  11:28 AM ET

Michael Jordan does not want to pay the players! He has gotten rid of all the high profile guys who were making major dollars on the Charlotte team and now he has what he wanted; a low budget team that can't win but will qualify for the lotto.

Perhaps Silas is just eternally optimistic . . . or his current coaching gig has rendered him completely delusional.
