FINAL RECORD: 45-37 (.549)
Stan Albeck is named head coach June 8 and promises a Net playoff victory.

Darryl Dawkins makes his ninth NBA season his best, averaging 16.8 ppg and 6.7 rpg, while Buck Williams becomes only the ninth player ever to record 1,000 or more rebounds in his first three years. Otis Birdsong is named to the NBA All-Star Team and leads the club in scoring with a 19.8 average. The Nets make no trades for the first time in their NBA history.
