 Charlie Bell is having the worst season in NBA history  Links10
That’s not hyperbole. After Monday’s “ho hum, another road blowout to a good team … lets make it by 45 this time” exercize in futility, Bell has seen his role increase to that of starting point guard. This is the reward for an 8 game stretch in which he has played 176 minutes and shot 5-39 (.128). Bell is now shooting .267 this season, and has managed to ... [link]

Charlie Bell: Worst Season Ever
Published 1/2/2008 by Tom Ziller at FanHouse
... hotly pursued Milwaukee back-up Charlie Bell this summer; Bell, angry with Milwaukee's offers, flirted with a Greek team before signing a five-year, $18 million offer sheet with Miami. Milwaukee, of course, matched, further angering Charlie. (Dwyer notes this is likely the most contract drama a back-up point guard has ever engaged in.) What'd all the fireplay amount to for the Bucks? Possibly the worst NBA season for a player ever, as The Bratwurst tells it. Bell is now shooting .267 this year, and has managed to play 594 ...

Something happened to Charlie Bell

... offer sheet he signed with the Miami Heat, but by all accounts he had put his personal frustrations behind him by the time training camp came around, and (to these eyes) wasn't in any worse shape than his first two seasons in Milwaukee. So why is he knocking in just slightly better than one in four shots this season? And how does this season stack up with the all-time worst shooting seasons in NBA history? I'll let Brett from the Bucks blog The Bratwurst take over from here: "Since the NBA was founded, only ten times has a player seen ...

Thebratwurst.com -- Charlie Bell Headed For Worst Shooting Percentage Ever
Published 1/2/2008 by HM at Hoops and Other Pop Culture
http://thebratwurst.com/?p=247 Excellent work on this. I only wish I had uncovered this amazing factoid of suckiness myself. While Bell apparently (as my dad would say) "cannot hit a bull in the ass with a barrel of full of nickels," his per-48 OVERALL statistical production is STILL superior to the production of 7 mostly-former Timberwolves so far this year. Bell is #370 in the NBA in efficiency per 48, better than: Darrick Martin -- 380 Mark Blount -- 394 Juwan Howard -- 395 Trenton Hassell -- 398 Richie Frahm -- 400 Troy Hudson -- 401 ...

Bucks 103, Heat 98: Recap
Published 1/3/2008 by frank <info@brewhoop.com> at Brew Hoop
... Charlie Bell (12 points) and Bobby Simmons (11) each scored in double figures. Not a big deal, right? Considering Simmons averaged 13.4 ppg and Bell 13.5 in their last full seasons, that should be happening all the time. Well, 31 games into the season this marks the first time those two guys have scored in double figures in the same game. Maybe Charlie got the memo that he's having the worst season in NBA history. Simmons meanwhile showed some rhythm for the first time since leaving the team for his personal absence. After a difficult start to the season on many levels, ...

Free Udonis Haslem: "We're probably going to end up playing zone the whole game, because we can't guard anybody one-on-one. It's how many games into the season, and we haven't guarded anybody?"
