The 2000-01 New Jersey Nets season was a challenging campaign for the team. Under head coach Byron Scott, the Nets struggled to find consistency, finishing with a disappointing 26-56 record. This placed them sixth in the Atlantic Division and out of playoff contention. The season was marred by injuries and roster instability, most notably the absence of star point guard Jason Kidd, who was acquired post-season and didn’t play until the following year. Stephon Marbury, who led the team in scoring, couldn’t propel the Nets to success as the team lacked depth and defensive prowess.
The Nets’ struggles were evident on both ends of the court, as they finished near the bottom of the league in both offensive and defensive efficiency. Despite the setbacks, the season laid the groundwork for significant changes, setting the stage for a more successful period in the franchise’s history with the addition of key players in the offseason.
- Regular Season Record: 26-56
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
