Homer News: New Jersey Nets (6-53)
Hooped Up | March 3, 2010New Jersey Nets aren’t focused on getting LeBron James’ attention, they just want to get wins
LeBron James and the Cavaliers come to East Rutherford tonight for the last time this season, but the Nets do not see this as a last chance to impress the impending free agent.
Devin Harris said the team cannot think beyond tonight.”We’re just trying to get a win,” Harris said. “We play them pretty well. We come out and play hard.”
The Nets (6-53) are struggling to find four more victories in their last 23 games to avoid the infamy of breaking the mark for fewest wins in a season, which is nine by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers.
If putting up a fight is appealing to James, then the Nets have done a better job than the Knicks. The Nets’ worst loss to the Cavaliers this season was by 10 points, while the Knicks took a 31-point beating in Cleveland Monday night.
Tonight, however, the Nets will face a different challenge against the Cavaliers, with center Shaquille O’Neal out for six to eight weeks after thumb surgery.
