The New Jersey Nets lost to the Miami heat today 99-89. Okay, that's hardly news although the record for futility, if the Nets do break it, will be bad news all over should it happen.
But here's even gagging sad stuff -- Miami thrice beat the Nets this season under three different head coaches.
Early in the season, November 14, 2009 to be exact, they lost 81-80 in Miami under Lawrence Frank. Then three months later, on February 17, the Heat beat the Nets on their home floor 87-84 this time under head coach Kiki Vandeweghe. The today, March 22 (US time), the lost under John Loyer, Vandeweghe's assistant who manned the bench with the boss in California to tend to an ailing mom.
The Nets final game of the year is on April 14. Vandeweghe will be back then. But think of this, if the two teams played when Tom Barrise was interim coach and the Nets lost then that's a B-I-N-G with an "O" for zero. What a new low. Maybe they oughta let Rod Thorn coach that game.
