Has there ever been a season when there were so many teams have been sinking fast taking water like this season? Not a single team in the bottom 8 has won more than 4 of their last 10 games with one team at 0 wins, one at 1 win, one at 2 wins, and two at 3 wins. That's a lot of teams playing spectacularly bad at the same time and several of them were playoff teams last season. Anomaly or influence of new lottery?

I think it just seems like more teams are talking because we're involved
