Cam Thomas has made the most of his first real NBA opportunity this season.

With their season slipping away, the Brooklyn Nets desperately needed a shot in the arm against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. They got one in the form of Cam Thomas. The Nets ran the Cavaliers off the floor during a 120-101 victory before a sellout crowd at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. In his second game back […]

While the Cleveland Cavaliers are one of the NBA’s better defensive teams, they aren’t flawless. Cleveland’s Achille’s heel is how they defend opponents on the perimeter, allowing 36.0% of opposing attempts to connect. While that percentage allowed is still top-10 worthy compared to all 30 teams, it could spell disaster if the Cavs caught a […]

The Brooklyn Nets may have received the dagger to their play-in hopes. After losing to the nine-win Detroit Pistons on Thursday, Brooklyn fell 110-99 to the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. Entering the game, Charlotte owned the league’s fourth-worst record (15-48) and longest losing streak (six games). The demoralizing defeat comes shortly after the Nets announced […]

Kevin Ollie spoke firmly about the hustle he would demand from the Brooklyn Nets upon taking over as interim head coach. However, spirited efforts have been a rarity during his 10 games at the helm.

No NBA player has played more minutes than Mikal Bridges over the last five seasons. The Brooklyn Nets forward – owner of the league’s longest active games played streak – has not missed an appearance since high school. But based on his recent production or lack thereof, he may finally need to accept a break. […]

The Brooklyn Nets will have one last chance to save their season over the next week. They’ll receive much-needed reinforcements as they try to do it, with Cam Thomas expected to return Saturday versus the Charlotte Hornets.

Early March presented the Brooklyn Nets an opportunity to re-enter the Eastern Conference play-in conversation.

There has been no shortage of “worst loss of the season” candidates for the Brooklyn Nets in 2023-24, but Monday’s 106-102 home defeat to the shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies might take the cake.
