new-jersey-nets-were-good-onceThe New Jersey Nets lost again today. To the cross-river rival Knicks. That drops the worst team in the NBA to 0-13. Now, things get interesting. The Nets will have two days and a long plane ride to put the game in historical perspective. Can they reach 0-18 and claim the mark for worst start in league history? They start a West Coast trip at Denver Tuesday, followed by Portland Wednesday. Assume losses. Sacramento is six days away, and that could be New Jersey’s best shot. It seems unlikely that they’ll beat the Lakers or Mavericks after that.
