Nets Team Report
(Sun, 21 Mar 2010 00:40:34 PDT)
Yes, they are looking to finish the season with respect. And yes, they hope to get additional experience for their young players. But overriding everything else in a season seemingly born and fostered in Hell for the Nets is getting three more wins.
Three wins will insure the Nets will not go down as the worst team in NBA history. That inglorious handle would remain with the 1972-73 Sixers who compiled a near-inconceivable—at least until this season—9-73 record.
"My goal really is trying not to get that record. That's the only goal we should have. No individual goals, just breaking that record—we do not want to do that," Chris Douglas-Roberts said of the Nets, who are 7-62 with 13 games remaining.
And they are two games behind the Sixers' pace.
