Unbelievable NBA Home Nightmares: Which Teams Turned Their Arenas Into Losing Grounds?

1. 1947-48 Providence Steamrollers – 2-18, .100

Providence had a somewhat unfortunate name given it was the team largely steamrolled in the 1947-48 season, especially at home.

Rhode Island Auditorium was not a happy place for either Albert Soar or Nat Hickey, the two head coaches across the season, as they combined to win just two of the 20 games there. Hickey even played two games at the age of 45, making him the oldest player in BAA/NBA history to this day.

The Steamrollers only recorded victories at home against the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics, and finished with a 6-42 overall record. One of the 11 original franchises in the NBA, the last professional sports franchise to be based in Rhode Island only existed between 1946 and 1949.
