The 4 and 44 Nets

[Captain_Kirk]

The countdown is on. 7 - 63 right now.

Need to go 1-11 to become the all time NBA loosers; 2-10 to tie the Sixers.

A winnable game tonight at home against Sacramento who is 7-28 on the road.

 

[novelist_wannabe]

I really hope they beat the Sixers record. They'll probably sell out the last home game if they are sitting at 8 -73.

How in the hell did they ever win eight?

It's a miracle.

They just play so poorly. It seems that on half of the offensive sets, at least one guy is in the wrong place. Harris will come off of a Lopez pick and run right into Lee or Yi. The defense is similary disjointed -- breakdown after breakdown. I'm surprised they haven't won more if only because their smalls should get hot a couple of times.

And they'll never play in Brooklyn. They'll end up in Newark.

isn't ground already broken on atlantic yards? if not for that, it makes too much sense.

How can you watch them long enough to pick up a set. be careful you could go blind

Forced myself to watch a Nets-Knicks game, oh, maybe three weeks ago. Why? Don't know, but as I recall it, the Nets actually won.

 

[amraeder]

Looks like the Nets are going to win. Up 14 with just over a minute to play. Even they can't screw this up.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Best thing about the Nets -- you can take a wide-eyed 9-year-old for 98 cents.

How?

Stubhub.

Still service charges and all that. But we had four tickets for $13 something a few weeks ago.

You'll pay more for Nets-Lakers, obviously, but when it's the Wizards or Warriors or someone like that, you'll have no problem getting cheap seats.

I've seen cheap seat tickets available for 50 cents for some Nets games. They can't even give them away.

 

[Second Thoughts]

As long as the teams Kobe and LeBron are on win, the NBA brass doesn't give a crap about what the other teams do. As long as they don't upset the TV ratings cart by knocking out Lakers or Cavs out of the playoffs.

They are safe from the Nets.

 

[Pancamo]

Wizards have less talent.

 

[Starman]

Barring some kind of cataclysmic collapse/miracle, Nets about to beat Pistons.

 

[goalmouth]

I happily paid $63 for 3rd row baseline (VIP parking included) to watch Yi drop 31 on Detroit, which is a truly dreadful defensive team. And Richard Hamilton looked ready to retire.

 

[Boom_70]

A sad state of affairs when the Nets and Gilbert Arenas are the big NBA stories.

True.

But I really wanted to see the Nets break the 76ers' record. I'm curious to see how they play from here on out now that they won't outright own the record.

 

[rube]

Nets avoid history:
Nets 90, Spurs 84.

Hello win No. 10

 

[spnited]

And now instead of making history, they're just another pathetic team.

 

[Petrie]

And now instead of making history, they're just another pathetic team.

Precisely. If you're gonna lose, lose big. At the very least, they hear about it all summer and use it as motivation to win, oh, about 25 or so next year. But they went and screwed that up...now watch them end up with the No. 4 pick.
