    the season isn't over so it's hard to say where this year's team fits in.

    Maybe you know this already, but the Rockets went 14-68 in 1982-83. That was the worst by far. This club with half its team missing would still beat those guys.

    Edit: It looks like you've got the roster from 82-83 there, with the 83-84 record. So I'll vote for that roster.

    1983 easily.

    I went to a few of those games that year as a kid, and watched the Rockets get blown out by the Bullets and I think the San Diego Clippers and an arthritic Bill Walton.

    We made Jeff Ruland look like Bob Petit. It was pathetic.

    The 82-83 season was not that bad.

    SAR hasn't been to the playoffs in over 700 games, that's worst than the WHOLE CLIPPERS ORGANIZATION.

    if you ask that question 5yrs from now I'll probably give a different answer.. :(
