The 2011-12 Charlotte Bobcats endured a historically challenging NBA season, setting a record for the worst winning percentage in league history. They finished with a 7-59 record, equating to a .106 win percentage. This was a lockout-shortened season, comprising only 66 games instead of the usual 82. The Bobcats’ season was marred by poor performances on both ends of the court, ranking last in the league for points scored per game and defensive efficiency.
Under head coach Paul Silas, the team struggled to find a consistent rhythm, often losing games by double-digit margins. Key player Gerald Henderson provided some bright spots, but the team’s youth and inexperience were evident. The Bobcats’ season concluded with a 23-game losing streak, emphasizing the need for a rebuild. This dismal performance led to the Bobcats securing the second overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, aiming to revitalize the franchise.
- Regular Season Record: 7-59
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
