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. Meanwhile, Ben Simmons has yet to make his season debut as a member of the Nets. Another […]

By now, every NBA fan knows about the drama involving the Philadelphia 76ers and guard Ben Simmons, who has since been traded to the Brooklyn Nets. 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 […]

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 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.

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. While Simmons is unlikely to play against his former team, the Philadelphia 76ers, he is expected to join the Nets when they visit the Wells […]

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. They’re hoping for the chance to boo the two-time All-Star who stopped wanting to play for them. Simmons cited mental health struggles as the reason he did not suit up […]

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. Despite both of these teams playing rather pedestrian-like basketball this season at 32-33 and battling it out […]

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.

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 […]

The entire population of Philadelphia must have circled March 10 on their calendars. This will mark Ben Simmons’ first return to the City of Brotherly Love since being traded by the Philadelphia 76ers to the Brooklyn Nets. But safe to assume, there won’t be a lot of love on that particular evening. Contrary to earlier […]

The wait for Ben Simmons’ debut for the Brooklyn Nets will have to wait a little longer. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Simmons will not be able to suit up even on Thursday’s road game against the Philadelphia 76ers, which would have been a much more intriguing matchup with the point guard on […]

The moment that Ben Simmons was traded to the Brooklyn Nets, the date encircled on the calendar was their March 10 trip to Philadelphia to face the 76ers. Seeing Ben Simmons come back to the venue of all his trauma with a hostile crowd watching is something ripped straight out of a WWE script. However, […]

Kevin Durant became just the latest member of the 25,000 career points club, joining an elite list of names. The Brooklyn Nets star did this during their game against the Boston Celtics. It’s an incredible achievement, one that not a lot of former stars can say they’ve ever reached. Kyrie Irving certainly thinks he can […]

March 6 will now be forever special for Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum. He woke up on Sunday feeling dangerous and dropped a cool 54 points in their 126-120 win over the Brooklyn Nets. But apart from that, the day was also for Tatum’s former coach Mike Krzyzewski, who held his last home game with […]

On Sunday, the Boston Celtics won a thrilling battle against the Brooklyn Nets, 126-120. The win was Boston’s third straight and 14th victory in their last 16 games. All seems right with the Celtics, but that’s not entirely accurate. Former Celtics star forward Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis was seen trying to take someone else’s front […]

The Brooklyn Nets continue a downward trend as they just can’t get a healthy team on the floor. The most impactful absence of their season has been Kyrie Irving. His disinterest in getting vaccinated makes everything hard on these Nets. And the team continues to hope for change from NYC, since they seem to have […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant doesn’t seem to be too impressed about reaching 25,000 points. That or he’s just not in jovial mood after losing to the Boston Celtics. On Sunday in their showdown with the Celtics at TD Garden, Durant became just the 23rd player in NBA history to reach 25,000 points after exploding […]

Kyrie Irving isn’t shy and he isn’t boring that’s for sure. And his description for Boston Celtics fans who boo him and have words for him during games, won’t do much to improve the “relationship” he has with his former fan base. The Brooklyn Nets visited Irving’s former team on Sunday afternoon. But it was […]

In nearly two full seasons, Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash has rarely had a fully healthy team. The Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving-James Harden trio barely took the floor at the same time, resulting in massive disappointment. Swap in Ben Simmons for Harden and things haven’t improved at all yet. The latest timetable for Simmons’ possible […]

Ben Simmons is in many ways the perfect fit for a struggling Brooklyn Nets squad. He’s selfless and dedicated to defense, running in transition, and pushing the tempo. These are all things Nets head coach Steve Nash has been preaching (but not always getting) all season long, but getting the 2021 runner-up for Defensive Player […]
