It's Unanimous - They're Bad

After weeks of one holdout or another, the Power Rankings are rolling in and the Nets are finally, unequivocally, unanimously the worst team in the NBA. It may have been that 70-33 half time score Friday or the relief that they only lost to the Lakers by 19 Saturday. You'll be happy to know, as Marc Stein notes, six other teams started 2-25. The last was the Hornets in 2004-05. They finished 18-64 and got Chris Paul.

I think it’s funny that people want this web site to basically close down because the team is so bad.
For better of for worse, the guys here hit us with every bit of Nets news the internet has to offer.
I agree that the news, “is making our sufferings longer by remembering us the same things we know.”, but such is the nature of this particular beast.

We do try to leaven it with news of people being put out of their homes and businesses because of the owner’s greed, Russians trying to infiltrate the US economy through the franchise and of course, the multi-platform scribblings of Al Iannazzone. (Does he ever SLEEP?)

Judging by his writing style, Iannazzone must not sleep. He writes like Robin Williams thinks.

@Bryan
(With MANY abject apologies to Oasis)
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don’t believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don’t know how
Because maybe
You’re gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You’re my Wonder Wall

I cringe thinking about the John Wall highlight packages that will feature Oasis. Shawn Kemp dunking to “Go” by Pearl Jam on NBA Superstars it will not be.

Totally off topic, and I have no ideas but… Nate Robinson is asking for a trade and espn has mentioned trying for a trade with a playoff contender in need of a back up with plenty of energy. Anybody else think the Nets should start trying to dump Alston (if getting anything at all is possible) and beat the Knicks to the punch?

I still think it’s too early to say that they are bad, because the NBA is a long season and there is plenty of time to catch up. The same can be said with the NHL and MLB, which is a lot longer than both of those. It’s only the NFL were a team cannot be in bad shape for a long time. There has even been WNBA teams that started bad at the begining of the season but played better later on.

Nets bad? This season has been one of the most entertaining, interesting seasons, in at leats 20 years.
The international intrigue, twists and turns, and general mayhem, keeps me coming back for more.
A perfect season in reverse.
I can tell my grand kids about this year.. And they won’t believe me. LOL

we should trade najera or dooling 4 nate.
nate is at his last year of his contract and dooling has another year while najera has a couple more after this year.
