The New Jersey Nets have been the laughing stock of the NBA this season, and it looked like they were on their way to setting a very embarrassing record.  Earlier this month the Nets only had 6 wins on the season with only 21 games left to play.  The worst record in NBA history was set by the 1972-’73 Philadelphia 76ers, when they finished that season at 9-73.  The Nets were getting dangerously close to that record, but they finally figured out how to put a few wins together over the past week and avoided the shame of being the worst team in NBA history.  Going into their matchup with the Sacramento Kings on March 24th, they were 7-63.  They went on to an easy 93-79 victory that night, led by Devin Harris and his 24 points, 9 assists, and 4 rebounds.  They followed that up with another convincing 118-110 win over the Detroit Pistons two nights later.  Brook Lopez was a beast in that game with 37 points, 10 rebounds, and 1 block.  The Nets got their third win in four games on Monday night, beating the San Antonio Spurs 90-84 behind Lopez’s 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 assists.  These were some big wins for the Nets as they proved they weren’t the worst team in history.  This year may have been ugly for the Nets, but the future is bright with Brook Lopez, Devin Harris, possibly the number 1 pick in the next draft, and $23 million to spend on a big-time free agency class coming up this offseason.
