Yes, there have been worse teams (Wiggins and Walt), but not versus expectations.

Unless we lose both remaining games, I'd say this season was far less disappointing than 1997, when a team widely expected to win the conference lost five of its last six to finish under .500. I know there were some people on this board who were "all in" on this team and expecting it to make the national playoffs, but they were delusional and few. Most of us were in the 8-4/9-3 ballpark. This is disappointing, very disappointing, but nothing like that 1997 collapse, which is still inexplicable to me.

Looking back at the preseason discussion (in a "worst-case" thread), several posts mentioned 6-6 as an abysmal result, although one poster did mention 5-7 as a tiny possibility.
