Are This Year's Los Angeles Clippers Going to Be Historically Bad?

I was flipping through the pages of ESPN.com when I noticed there was a "Playoff Odds" page for the NBA created by John Hollinger.

It lists every team's projections for this season. To do this, a computer simulates the rest of the season and playoffs and lottery picks 5,000 times. It includes their likely record, best chance record, and worst case record. After that, it goes into odds of making playoffs, winning division, being number one seed, making the finals, being the champs, and winning the lottery pick. The article is here.

I looked through it with interest and then finally found my beloved Clippers. Then I cried a little inside. Their projected record is 15-67. Easily the worst in the NBA. Their best hope is 35 wins. But the two figures that caught my eye the most were playoff chance and worst case scenario.

Every team has a chance to make the playoffs, right? Apparently not.

The Clippers have 0.0% chance of making the playoffs this year. Every other team has at least a chance but the Clippers supposedly have none.

The other figure is the worst case scenario. Since the projection is already bad I thought it could not get much worse, then I saw that worst case scenario, the Clippers lose outright the rest of the season. 1 win, 81 losses. Really? I mean a computer actually generated that? I really did not think that was possible to do.

So this pretty much ruined my day. I watched the Clipper game on ESPN.com and they won by 20, so our 1-81 season will only be 2-80.

But still, I cannot think this team, or any team, will ever be that bad. What do you guys here at Bleacher Report think? Which record is most likely?
