The Brooklyn Nets are straight-up not having a good time right now. After a disappointing 2021-22 season, many were hoping for this team to bounce back this season. They have all the talent in the world to be a great team this year, with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons leading the way. This […]

Kyrie Irving’s Twitter rants and posts have been the center of media attention… for all the wrong reasons. The Brooklyn Nets guard has always been rather outspoken about his beliefs.

There’s lazy, there’s lackadaisical, there’s uninspired, and then there’s whatever the Brooklyn Nets put out on the court Saturday against the Indiana Pacers.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas has played just 14 total minutes through the team’s first five games.

Kyrie Irving does a lot of questionable things on Twitter. This has become somewhat second nature for the highly polarizing Brooklyn Nets superstar. On Friday, Kyrie sent out a tweet that might get him into hot water again: https://twitter.com/KyrieIrving/status/1585704113433677829 Seems innocent enough, right?

The Brooklyn Nets have started the season 1-4, and it’s not too early to declare that the Ben Simmons experiment isn’t working.

However, the season hasn’t started well. The team is 1-4 through five games, and while that’s not enough of a sample size […]

One word could properly describe Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic’s performance against the Brooklyn Nets Thursday night: Masterclass.

“When you try your best but you don’t succeed.” Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are probably listening to Coldplay’s “Fix You” after yet another humongous effort from the Brooklyn Nets duo went to waste following a 125-129 overtime loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

Simmons has caught some considerable flak in recent years for appearing to not have improved on his game, especially offensively, despite being an all-world defender and playmaker […]

Luka Doncic looked like a man possessed yet again on Thursday night as the Brooklyn Nets hosted the Dallas Mavericks at the Barclays Center.

The Brooklyn Nets were thought to be adding a skill set unlike any in franchise history when they traded for Ben Simmons.

A loss in Milwaukee Wednesday dropped […]
