Stepping away from infamy
The New Jersey Nets took one giant step away from infamy when they won their ninth game of the season last night. Now they can do no worse than tie the 1972-3 Philadelphia 76ers for the worst mark in NBA history. The Detroit Pistons, who have been coming apart at the seams since assistant G.M. John Hammond took off to the Milwaukee Bucks, were the victims.
For perspective, while 9 and 73 might be a historically bad season, at least the Nets will have some company. Had they gone 8 and 74, they would have been all alone at the bottom of the bottom. If they can some how sneak to 10 and 72, nobody but their own die-hard fans will remember just how awful and ugly they were. For the record they lost their first 18 games and hit the midway point of the season 3 up and 40 down.
