Avoiding Infamy

On Friday, March 26, the New Jersey Nets defeated the Detroit Pistons 118-110 bringing their record to an unimpressive 9-63. However, this record avoids great embarrassment as the New Jersey Nets avoided having the worst record in NBA history held by the 72-73 Philadelphia 76ers at 9-73. The New Jersey Nets on paper are not a terrible basketball team. They have great back court talent & a franchise center in Brook Lopez. They should have a better record than the one they currently have. The Nets suffer from poor chemistry & lack of discipline to the worse degree. They fired a terrific coach in Lawrence Frank at the beginning of the season, there are issues in their front office & half of their roster is full of underachieving talent. They will need one more win to avoid a tie, but New Jersey faces quite an uncertain future. At least they avoid infamy.
