The 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers finished 9-73 to set the NBA' futility mark and if the Nets play as badly in the next 36 games as they did it their first 36, we could be on the verge of |

Team president Rod Thorn told the newspaper that the Nets have never had a problem with gambling, but ``obviously, you can see what can happen.'' An |
