Nets lose NBA-record 18th straight to start season
By BRIAN MAHONEY, AP Basketball Writer

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)—All those losses in what’s now the worst start in NBA history had already beaten down the New Jersey Nets.

So when the Dallas Mavericks hit them with a 49-point second quarter, the Nets simply had no fight left.

New Jersey was pounded into NBA infamy Wednesday night, falling 117-101 for its 18th straight loss to start the season.

“I think what happens is you know it wears on you,” interim coach Tom Barrise said. “It’s not a two-game losing streak. We play four games a week in this league and it’s every day and every other day, and you know you hear it and you start to feel it a little bit.”

:wtf:

Do we have any Nets fans here who would care to explain this?

1. Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson really escaped a sinking ship didn't they? n/t

2. Cheer up! The Nets still haven't caught up to the 1988 Orioles!

Although after last night you would assume they will not only catch up, but then speed past them.

In 1988, Orioles started the season 0-21.

3. Good thing I'm not a Nets fan...

I get enough grief already with the Mets & Jets.
Plus, it would be just silly to cheer for a third "-ets" named team.

In fact, I couldn't care less about the NBA. I don't follow it or watch it at all. I couldn't even name all of the teams in the NBA, or even tell you the names of the conferences/divisions. College basketball, however, I love. Especially Big East hoops.

6. This Whole Thing Is Weird Though

I've watched them play twice now. I watched the whole game. I am at a loss as to how this team lost 18 straight games.

They have some decent players. No great talent, but decent.

They play hard the whole game. I didn't see anybody taking time off while on the floor.

They don't look like a playoff team, but 18 losses in a row?

This is just bizarre to me.

7. Congrats to the Nets, they're shooting their way out of New Jersey.

or more accurately, they're not shooting their way out of New Jersey. Soon New York City will be able to promote itself as home to the TWO worst teams in the Eastern Conference.

8. Sucks to be a Bobcat fan right now

They just lost to Joisey. How humiliating. 1-18!!! Wooo hoo!!
