CLEVELAND — Yes, it would be nice to get out of the record books for a rather dubious achievement — the most defeats to start a season, an awful record established by the 2009-10 Nets.
But even to escape that record, Brook Lopez finds it hard to root for the Sixers — who fell to 0-16 on Wednesday — to continue their losing ways. It’s just not the human thing to do.
“The truly human element would be to feel for them, right? I’m not rooting for them to lose, by any means,” said Lopez, who endured the Nets’ 0-18 start in that woeful 12-70 campaign, his second season in the league.
