06:21 AM ET 03.20 | Most people think the New Jersey Nets have nothing to play for in the final few weeks of the NBA regular season. They would be wrong. Sure, the Nets are staggeringly bad and they have just seven wins all season -- not to mention the 61 losses. But the Nets will have to turn it on in the final 14 games of the season to avoid the moniker of "Worst Team Ever". That title currently belongs to the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, who went 9-73. To reach the historic 10-win plateau, the Nets will need to play at a .214 pace, far better than their current .103. New Jersey will have help, however, with the return of Devin Harris and Yi Jianlian from sickness and injury, respectively, expected tonight.
