What happened
The Kings spent the week on the road and came home 0-6. San Antonio opened with a 103-130 drubbing, New Orleans offered the closest call at 120-132, and Memphis delivered the verdict, 105-136, the moment fans stopped hedging and called it "the worst team in NBA history." Blame split between Doug, possibly "the worst coach in the history of the NBA," and Vivek, whom one fan hopes an 0-82 season will shame. In Sacramento, rooting for a perfect losing record now passes for optimism.
What fans said
“We are watching the worst team in NBA history.”

“I don't think people realize how fucking horrible of a coaching job this is. This team has TWO multiple time all stars and a rookie who is playing like an all star and we are winless. We all know Doug is bad, but he might be the worst coach in the history of the NBA, no joke.”
