Kevin Durant put on a show on Sunday for the Brooklyn Nets. The player many feel is the best in the world came into a matinee vs. Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, and the New York Knicks and put on his own personal fireworks display. There was no Kyrie Irving in the game, although bizarrely he […]

Just like all other NBA fans, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is confused as hell on the Kyrie Irving situation with the Brooklyn Nets.

Kevin Durant was his own spectacle on Sunday, dropping 53 points, six rebounds and nine assists in the Brooklyn Nets’ showdown with the New York Knicks. KD dominating isn’t the weird part though.

Durant the Knicks have plenty of history together, though much of it is predicated on something […]

For the first time this wild NBA season we’re expecting Kyrie Irving to be in attendance for a Brooklyn Nets home game. Just not while available to play. You know, kind of like like how Ben Simmons made his epic return to Philadelphia, but just on the team’s bench. A “sort of but not really” […]

Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets is still not allowed to play unvaccinated against COVID-19 in New York, but he can enjoy games at Barclays Center as a fan. On Saturday night, Irving was among the thousands in attendance to watch the Duke Blue Devils and the Virginia Tech Hokies go at it in the […]

After getting blown out by the Brooklyn Nets the last time out, Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid realized one thing: they need “willing shooters.” With that said, the Sixers star wants his teammates to step up and “let it fly” as defenses focus on him and new superstar teammate James Harden. He understands they […]

Ben Simmons made headlines despite the fact that he didn’t even play a single minute during Thursday’s much-anticipated matchup between the Brooklyn Nets and his old team, the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Philadelphia 76ers were on the receiving end of quite a beating at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday nights.

Kevin Garnett’s stint with the Brooklyn Nets didn’t exactly go as planned. The star-laden Nets were supposed to immediately compete for a championship after they sent an unprecedented trove of future first-round picks to the Boston Celtics in exchange for the aging Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry.

The Philadelphia 76ers were faced a rude awakening as the Brooklyn Nets came to town on Thursday night.

Ben Simmons might be the big haul for the Brooklyn Nets during the trade deadline, but Seth Curry isn’t a slouch. The former Sixers guard is one of the best shooters in the league, which makes it surprising that he was included so readily in the James Harden trade. It left more than a few […]

The Brooklyn Nets absolutely insisted this game wasn’t too special. It’s another regular season game they told us over and over.

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.
