Nets Continue To Make Infamous History At 0-18

As most already know, the New Jersey Nets have made history.

They are the first team in NBA history to start the season 0-18!

The Nets got blasted by the Dallas Mavericks 117-101 on Wednesday night, ending the reign of assistant coach Tom Barrise as head coach. Barrise went 0-2 in his two games as head man of the Nets, while Lawrence Frank lost the previous 16.

Now it will be up to Kiki Vandeweghe to turn this thing around. This being a man who holds the title of General Manager in the Nets orgainization, and really doesn't do much as the GM, since it is Rod Thorn who picks, drafts, and signs all of the players. In short, Vandeweghe is a figure head, who needed something to do.

He could have easily taken over as soon as Frank was fired, but decided not to become known as the guy who was coaching the first team to 0-18. Now he can coach them to 0-19 and beyond.

This coming from a franchise that fully expects to move to Brooklyn, a project that has been delayed for over five years, and is not even close to getting approved by the city of New York. Add that to the blatant fact that the Nets believe they can be players for the services of LeBron James and/or Dwayne Wade.

One has to wonder why either James or Wade would want to play for this pitiful franchise, easily one of the NBA's worst teams to exist on the face of the earth. Just goes to show you that the Nets just don't get it and never will.

By the way, the Nets are heading toward another record. 23 straight losses. Only the equally woeful Vancouver/Memphis Grizzles accomplished that mark in the late 1990's.

Keep it up Jersey.
