Things Getting Ugly for the Nets

Every day brings more bad news for the Nets, losers of 12 of 16 after a 121-96 loss to Denver on Monday. Devin Harris didn't play with a sprained shoulder, and Sean Williams got arrested for allegedly staring an altercation at a Denver area cell-phone dealer. Nice. The Nets lost the four games of this five-game road trip against Western Conference teams. They play the Knicks on Wednesday. The Nets now trail New York by half a game and sit in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, two games out of a playoff spot.
