“The Knicks are back!” Six-time NBA All-Star Amar’e Stoudemire said those words after signing a massive five-year, $99.7 million contract with New York in June, 2010. Aside from a 54-win season in 2012-13, the franchise’s grand revitalization efforts did not come to fruition. This big signing was marred by injuries and fire extinguishers, and the […]

The NBA trade deadline is less than 24 hours away.

It’s safe to say Mikal Bridges was plenty frustrated Tuesday night simply by the Brooklyn Nets falling 119-107 to the Dallas Mavericks, pushing his team’s disappointing record back to 10 games below .500. Just as likely adding insult to injury for Bridges? A large subset of the Barclays Center crowd once again loudly rooting for […]

Their absences mean Jacque Vaughn’s squad will […]

The Brooklyn Nets couldn’t buy a bucket during a 109-98 loss to the Golden State Warriors Monday at Barclays Center.
