Fuzzy math

Pi Press sports gossip Charley "Shooter" Walters has this nugget in today's column:

The Timberwolves, 3-21 this season after a 111-98 loss to Golden State on Wednesday, are on pace to become the NBA's all-time worst team. That 61-year distinction currently belongs to the Philadelphia 76ers, who finished 9-73 in the 1972-73 season.

Which is somewhat interesting, but not quite accurate. Elementary math will tell you that the squad currently has a winning percentage of 12.5 percent. Over an entire 82-game season this works out to 10 victories--one better than the storied 1972-73 76ers! Show the team some respect Shooter.
