The New Jersey Nets after loosing 18 straight games now hold the new NBA record for worst start ever. On December 4th the New Jersey Nets finally got the chance to feel what winning felt like as they defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 97-91 on their home floor in the Continental Airlines Arena. The Nets are in a rebuilding mode after trading Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson, a team who has young talent in Devin Harris, Brook Lopez and Courtney Lee. It will be interesting to see how new head coach Kiki Vandeweghe handles the team in games to come. His first move was to bring Courtney Lee back into the starting line up instead of Trenton Hassel, apparently no one told the person doing introductions who introduced Trenton instead of Lee. The Nets have a long season ahead of them, we are all glad they got a win but don’t expect the team to miraculously change and start winning games. The New Jersey Nets are 1-18, and staring straight into the face of a 63 game schedule. For now a win is a win.
