ESPN.com by Chris Sheridan On Sunday night, the New Jersey Nets lost 106-87 to the Los Angeles Lakers in a game in which they stayed competitive for roughly five minutes. They are now 0-17, tied for the worst start to a season in NBA history, and will have former franchise cornerstone Jason Kidd in the house when the Dallas Mavericks attempt to tag them with the unprecedented and dubious distinction...
Lots of winning. Lots of Losing. 1. Orlando Magic – Record 14-4 – Last Week: 1 I picked them to be the top team in the league because of their ridiculous depth. Maybe I’m not so bad at this… 2. Los Angeles Lakers – Record 13-3 – Last Week: 3 I liked them better when Pau Gasol was injured. The West is too predictable when the Lakers are healthy. 3. Phoenix Suns...
Firing the coach didn't work. Maybe try firing the owner? When the New Jersey Nets finally reached an inauspicious NBA record, the Staples Center’s public address announcer let the crowd know all about it. At least he had the tact to wait until the Nets were out of earshot after their 17th straight loss. The undermanned, undertalented Nets matched the worst start to an NBA season Sunday night,...
LOS ANGELES — The New Jersey Nets matched the worst start to an NBA season with their 17th straight loss Sunday night, with Kobe Bryant scoring 30 points in the Los Angeles Lakers' 106-87 victory. A few hours after New Jersey fired coach Lawrence Frank, the undermanned Nets had little prayer of keeping up with the defending league champions, who won their sixth straight game. Falling behind by...
At the moment, there are a plethora of atrocious teams in the National Football League, and a lot of people have been pointing out the lack of parity in the league. But let's be fair -- it ain't nothin' to the disparity going on in the NBA right now. On Sunday, the New Jersey Nets lost to the Los Angeles Lakers, tying them with the '89 Heat and the '99 Clippers for the worst start to a season in history:...
Photograph of Frank during the Nets' 16th loss by Steve Yeater/AP With the New Jersey Nets likely to tie the NBA's record of for most consecutive losses (17) at the start of the season tonight when they play the Los Angeles Lakers, the team has fired coach Lawrence Frank . ESPN reports that the team was going to fire Frank after the game, "Yet it appears that Nets management determined that it...
By Chris Sheridan The New Jersey Nets are scheduled to have a breakfast meeting at 11 a.m. PST this morning in Los Angeles. Bacon, sausage and ham will be joined by one other piece of dead meat: Lawrence Frank. All signs pointed Sunday to the imminent firing of the Eastern Conference's longest tenured head coach, with Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports saying the axe will likely come down Monday...

If you were take last year’s season and send a tornado through it we’d probably be seeing something like this. 1. Denver Nuggets – Record 7-3 – Last Week: 4 This was a team that could’ve made the Finals last year, but they weren’t ready. This year might end up being a different story. 2. Boston Celtics – Record 8-3 – Last Week: 1 They’re not going...
• Turkoglu misses last-gasp 20-footer for Raptors • Brooks scores 33 points as Rockets beat Lakers Hedo Turkoglu missed a last-gasp 20-foot shot as the Toronto Raptors fell short in a 101-100 upset bid against the Phoenix Suns in Arizona. Turkoglu had put Toronto on top, 100-98, with a long-range effort with 52 seconds left, but Steve Nash was fouled while scoring a lay-up and made the extra...
Los Angeles Lakers guard Shannon Brown was acquired by the team as a throw in when LA sent Vladimir Radmonivich to Charlotte for Adam Morrison in February. So far he’s been the best player in the deal. Brown gives the Lakers athleticism and toughness off the bench and he’s been one of the few bright spots [...] Related posts: Shannon Brown Top of the Box Dunk The Dallas Mavericks stomped...
Are things starting to even out or is it all still murky? 1. Boston Celtics – Record 7-1 – Last Week: 1 They let Phoenix smack them down with their first loss, but that doesn’t keep them from being the scariest team in the NBA. If they stay healthy Boston is the one team no one is going to want to see in the post season. 2. Los Angeles Lakers – Record 6-1 – Last Week:...
Let no one mistake these Boston Celtics with the Los Angeles Lakers teams of the early 2000's. This is not a team that slouches out of the gate. For the third straight year, the Celtics are looking great immediately. In 2007-08, they began with eight straight wins and won 29 of their first 32. In 2008-09, they won 27 of their first 29. Can Boston keep pace with their impressive track record? They'll...

We’re two weeks in and so here are the rankings! 1. Boston Celtics – Record 4-0 – Last Week: 4 The best thing about Boston isn’t the talent, but the culture. They may talk a lot of trash, but this team comes to play every night. 2. Orlando Magic – Record 3-0 – Last Week: 2 It may only be a week in, but I’m feeling a little foolish for picking the Cavs to win...
