The biggest game of the year, at least in terms of storylines and national coverage, is here: the Brooklyn Nets head to tackle the Philadelphia 76ers.

Entering Thursday night’s matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets, there were no shortages of story lines.

Brooklyn Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving reminded everybody Tuesday why he’s worth all the drama while simultaneously reminding everybody why that drama is so infuriating.

The Brooklyn Nets are fighting tooth and nail to try and avoid the play-in tournament but as of right now, it’s a sad reality. However, actually getting newly-acquired Ben Simmons on the court would be a huge help. The Aussie continues to recover from a back injury that he sustained when he ramped up his […]

On Thursday night, the Brooklyn Nets travel to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers. There are so many storylines going into this game, but one that stands out above the others is the return of Ben Simmons to Philly. Even though Simmons is not going to be playing, it will still be very interesting to […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ stars have downplayed many of the contests we fans would call “big games” so far this season. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving mostly did the same again ahead of tonight’s matchup vs. Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. But because these two teams made a monster trade at the deadline, there’s certainly […]

It’s barely past noon on the East Coast and the Ben Simmons haters are already out in full force ahead of his return to Wells Fargo on Thursday night.

This is the first matchup between the Nets and the 76ers since the mega-blockbuster deal that sent James Harden and Paul Millsap […]

At the beginning of the year, Blake Griffin started for the Brooklyn Nets. Now, he isn’t playing at all. He has been a healthy scratch in three straight games as head coach Steve Nash incorporates new acquisitions from the trade deadline into his rotation. Griffin joined the Nets last season looking to become a key player […]

To say that Kyrie Irving’s time with the Brooklyn Nets has been underwhelming is an understatement. After going through different episodes with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, the point guard’s run with his current team has been more of the same on various fronts, specifically his stand on vaccination. And as the Nets fight […]

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant has grown tired of all the comparisons between LeBron James and Michael Jordan. KD has chimed in on the raging debate with a very interesting take that could possibly put an end to all of this. In a recent episode of The ETCs with Kevin Durant podcast, the Nets star decided […]

The Brooklyn Nets have dealt with a lot of moving pieces within their roster the past few weeks. The team just got Kevin Durant back into the lineup, along with recent trade acquisitions Andre Drummond and Seth Curry.

While Simmons won’t be playing in the highly anticipated upcoming game against the Sixers in Philly, there will still be plenty of eyes on the contest. Sixers head coach […]

The Brooklyn Nets are sitting in the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference. If the current 7-8 matchup were to hold, the Nets would travel to Toronto to play the Raptors in the play-in tournament, with the winner getting the No. 7 seed in the playoffs. The loser would then face the winner of […]

Kyrie Irving dropped 50 points on 19 shots in a massive win for the Brooklyn Nets, as they defeated LaMelo Ball and the  Charlotte Hornets Monday. But now all eyes turn to the next game on the schedule. The Nets head to Philadelphia March 10, to take on a 76ers squad with whom they just […]

On Tuesday night, Kyrie Irving played arguably the best game of his career. He scored 50 points on 13 for 19 shooting from the field, leading the Brooklyn Nets to a much-needed victory over the Charlotte Hornets. The win snapped the team’s four-game losing streak. Most importantly, it reminded everyone how great Irving is and […]

The Brooklyn Nets no longer have former MVP James Harden in their backcourt, but Kyrie Irving reminded everyone on Tuesday night that he’s a pretty decent guard too. The 7-time All-Star poured in 50 points in what was an incredible display of efficiency that got him in the NBA history books. After the game, Kyrie […]

Following an impressive win over the Chicago Bulls last Monday, the Philadelphia 76ers have arguably their most anticipated matchup of the season coming up on Thursday.

The Charlotte Hornets had a chance to take over the sole possession of the eighth seed on Tuesday night, but they failed. The Brooklyn Nets handed the Hornets their 34th loss of the season, 132-121. To be honest, the game was a lot more of a blowout than it seems. The Hornets were down by […]

James Harden’s exit from the Brooklyn Nets might not have been beautiful or graceful, but Kevin Durant understands where his now two-time ex-teammate came from. After Tuesday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets, Durant was asked about Harden’s departure and their upcoming meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. While KD played down the “rivalry” narrative as a […]

Kevin Durant didn’t have his best game against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night. Thanks to Kyrie Irving dropping 50 points in spectacular fashion in a 132-121 Brooklyn Nets win, it didn’t really matter. However, not everyone is about the bottom line when it comes to game results. Sports bettors in particular are privy to […]

Arguably the biggest matchup after the All-Star break has got to be the Philadelphia 76ers hosting the Brooklyn Nets. These two teams finally face off on Thursday as James Harden and the Sixers look to mark a win against his former team. As it turns out, however, Harden isn’t exactly hyped about the upcoming matchup. […]

Coming in to Tuesday night’s game versus LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets, Kyrie Irving was only eligible to appear in six more regular season games for the Brooklyn Nets. Just six! So presumably, he knew he needed to make each one count. Irving was an absolute assassin against the Hornets and sent a reminder […]

On Tuesday night, Kyrie Irving reminded everyone that he’s one of the greatest offensive players in the game. The Brooklyn Nets guard dropped as close to a no-sweat 50-point night as you could possibly imagine. Kyrie’s efficiency in carrying the Nets was not only impressive, but it was also nearly unprecedented. His 50 points came […]

Brooklyn Nets guard Goran Dragic wants Ben Simmons to be ready for his return to Philly. After all, he knows it won’t be a positive experience, to say the least.

Philadelphia 76ers fans have had March 10 circled on their calendars ever since the team traded Ben Simmons to the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden.

In a battle between two squads heading in two different directions and both sitting tied in the Eastern Conference standings, the Brooklyn Nets and the Charlotte Hornets will go to war on Tuesday evening at the Spectrum Center.

Ben Simmons may not be suiting up for the Brooklyn Nets in their trip to Philadelphia to face the 76ers, but he’s not shying away from entering the building. The former Sixers star is reportedly going to be present on the Nets bench as he slowly makes his way towards making his debut with his […]

The Brooklyn Nets continue to stumble along as the postseason draws closer and closer. While Kevin Durant is back in the lineup, Kyrie Irving is still a part-time player and Ben Simmons isn’t ready to make his debut yet because of a back issue. Now, a key veteran in LaMarcus Aldridge is dealing with a […]

The Philadelphia 76ers moved to 5-0 with both Joel Embiid and James Harden in the lineup with an impressive 121-106 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. Embiid poured in 43 points, while Harden nearly notched a triple-double with 16 points, 14 assists and eight rebounds. Harden also tied Reggie Miller for third-most 3-pointers […]
