The New Jersey Nets lost their 18th game to start the season.....I wonder if they can string together at least 4 more to top the Baltimore Orioles'

record of 0 & 21 to start the 1988 season.

Then they can go after the Tampa Bay Bucs who started their franchise history 0 & 26.

Now that's a team Brooklyn can really get excited about. - znufrii Dec 3, 06:04
well, given length of schedule, it is like they lost 36 in a row in baseball. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 05:58 9
- I still struggle wrap my head around that baseball streak. Even in baseball, awful teams win 1/3 of their games....how bad does your luck need to be - Will Hunting Dec 3, 06:03 8
  - schedule probably played into it. - groiny Dec 3, 06:08 7
    - All I remember about the breaker....Billy Ripken got beaned so they couldn't even really celebrate a big lead knowing he was in the ER. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 3, 06:10 6
      - I remember that it was Fan Appreciation Day, and there were close to 50,000 O's fans at the game. -- nm - Inigo Dec 3, 06:18 5
        
        are you sure, I thought it was at old Comiskey park. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 06:19 4
        
        Yeah, it was at Comiskey...here's the boxscore - Will Hunting Dec 3, 06:21 3
        
        Oh, right. It was when they came home for the next series that it was fan appreciation day. -- nm - Inigo Dec 3, 06:30
        
        yup, and that was not even a bad Orioles lineup. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 06:23 1
        
        Yeah...our pitching sucked no doubt...but any lineup with Murray and Ripken should be able to do something. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 3, 06:25
what's the NBA record for any losing streak (whether it started the season or not)? -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 05:44 2
- 23 games done by the Grizzlies and Nuggets in the 90's -- (link) - Will Hunting Dec 3, 05:47 1
  - that's... long. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 05:56
