Hopefully they'll make a new record.
I'm hoping they'll manage to reach it to.

3 minutes left in 4th... Yi career high 30 points (12/15FG), Nets leading by 11...The Nets beat the Kings and get their 8th win of the season.
NJ will have to lose its 11 remaining games to set a new NBA record.
NETS SCHEDULE:
vs Detroit
The Nets are on fire
NJN 90-84 SAS!
What a slap to the face for the Spurs (especially after the impressive wins against the Cavs and the Celtics). Without Ginobli (out for this game with back spasms)+Parker the Spurs are lacking so much energy. Duncan's productivity this season compared to previous seasons has been much less as well.
New Jersey Nets new owner Mikhail Prokhorov is confident he will have a winner and soon.
Mikhail Prokhorov joined Mike Francesa on WFAN in New York City to discuss winning NBA Championships, buying the New Jersey Nets, his status as a playboy, among other questions.
On when the Nets will win an NBA Championship:
"Minimum one year. Maximum five. We have everything at our disposal. We have a very good backbone on management side. And we are considering several outstanding players. And we have the element of surprise from Russia."
On if he would consider himself an international playboy:
"It's very difficult to say. My life affairs is just between my office and gym. Nothing in between. Though I don't hide the fact that I love women."
And on his own basketball ability:
"I was not bad, but not as great as these free agents coming. In Russia, unfortunately, basketball is not very popular compared with soccer and ice hockey. But, I used to play in school and in university for the amateur basketball league. Maybe I was not so good, I feel."
Nets to Hire Russian Exec for Front Office - May 21, 2010, By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports
As Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov begins making an imprint as owner of the New Jersey Nets, he’s nearing an agreement with CSKA Moscow president Andrei Vatutin to take a senior-level, front-office job with the franchise, European and NBA sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Sources say Vatutin, 36, will join a revamped Nets front office after CSKA’s season ends in the next few weeks. With the firing of general manager Kiki Vandeweghe on Wednesday, Nets president Rod Thorn will take back his general manager duties.
The Nets are also retaining vice president of basketball operations Bobby Marks.
Sources believe Prokhorov wants Vatutin groomed to someday become an NBA GM. Nevertheless, most believe the young Russian is a long way from being qualified to run an NBA team.
Vatutin was the GM for CSKA, a European powerhouse, when Prokhorov operated the franchise. He helped put together a CSKA team that won the 2008 Euroleague title.

My guess is "no," he will not start bringing Russian stars into the NBA; however, like Colangelo in Toronto, he might try to turn his scouts' attention to some of the international leagues.does that mean, he is going to start bringing Russian stars to the League from now on![]()
