The Brooklyn Nets head into Thursday’s matchup against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks looking to score just their second win in five games. It’s been a rough start for the Nets thus far, and they will need to start stacking up wins sooner or later. Brooklyn’s sluggish start has been no fault of Kevin […]

The Brooklyn Nets were thought to be adding a skill set unlike any in franchise history when they traded for Ben Simmons. The 6-foot-11 point guard’s playmaking and scheme versatility were lauded as keys to the team’s new-look offense. The Nets have not seen those results through four games. A loss in Milwaukee Wednesday dropped […]

Ben Simmons is off to a troubling start to begin his Brooklyn Nets career and to make matters worse, the guard tweaked his back on Wednesday in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. But, it appears the Aussie won’t miss any time. Ahead of the tail-end of a back-to-back on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks, […]

The Brooklyn Nets fell to 1-3 on the season after they were defeated by the Milwaukee Bucks, 99-110, in a heated affair that saw Steve Nash get ejected for the first time in his brief coaching career. Nash wasn’t able to hold his emotions in check after a blocking foul was called on Patty Mills […]

Kevin Durant said at training camp that the Brooklyn Nets’ response to adversity this season would be the true test of their camaraderie. Like students in the first week of class, that test is coming earlier than Ben Simmons and Brooklyn’s squad may have liked. The Nets fell to 1-3 with a 110-99 loss to […]

Steve Nash got his first ejection as an NBA head coach on Wednesday night after going off at the referees, but Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant wasn’t surprised by his coach’s animated reaction. In fact, it seems he has been waiting for it. In his postgame presser following the 110-99 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, […]

At this point, Kyrie Irving is getting tired of all the negativity surrounding Brooklyn Nets teammate Ben Simmons. Fans and experts alike have been on his case all season long, and right now, it sounds like Kyrie’s just had enough of it. The Nets suffered another loss on Wednesday night, falling to Giannis Antetokounmpo and […]

Things are quickly becoming problematic with the Brooklyn Nets now that they’ve suffered three defeats in their first four games of the season. The Nets lost another one on Wednesday night, this time falling to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks, 110-99. Ben Simmons dished out another nine assists in this one, and more importantly, […]

I can very clearly remember how Brooklyn Nets fans got a little bit too excited during a preseason matchup between their team and the Milwaukee Bucks. Some supporters were quick to heap praise on Ben Simmons after the new Nets star flexed his defensive prowess on Giannis Antetokounmpo. It seems like Giannis heard all that […]

Steve Nash has never been known as an angry guy, but boy did we see that side from the Brooklyn Nets head coach Wednesday night. Nash was nearly unrecognizable when he went after NBA officials and had to be restrained by fellow Nets coaches and his players apparently over a non-call in the third quarter […]

The Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks are locked in a tight battle in the Badger State. Midway through the third quarter, with the Nets holding a 70-66 lead, Patty Mills attempted to draw a charge from Giannis Antetokounmpo. Instead, he was called for a blocking foul. Clearly, Nets coach Steve Nash disagreed. Steve Nash was […]

Ben Simmons hasn’t had that great of a start to his Brooklyn Nets career, but Nets head coach Steve Nash believes he knows how to fix that. According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Steve Nash wants to see Simmons start playing with joy in his game. Steve Nash said he's told Ben […]

Ben Simmons’ lack of aggressiveness has been an issue for the Brooklyn Nets through the first week of the NBA season. Through three games, Simmons has taken 13 shots and been to the free-throw line three times. The Nets hope this will not be a long-term problem as the three-time All-Star is Brooklyn’s third highest-paid […]

The Los Angeles Clippers held Kawhi Leonard out in their Tuesday night loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder due to stiffness on his recuperating knee. With the season in its early legs, Clippers fans will be especially understanding of just how much the team is being careful with regards to its handling of Leonard’s health, […]

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook haven’t always seen each other eye to eye, but it is nice to see that the former has the latter’s back amid the Los Angeles Lakers point guard’s struggles in the early goings of the 2022-23 NBA season. During the first episode of The Boardroom podcast  The ETC’s With KD and […]

Monday night produced a truly memorable spectacle between the Brooklyn Nets and the Memphis Grizzlies. The two teams’ top stars came out to play, and fans were treated to an epic encounter between two sides that just would not let up. In the end, however, it was the Grizzlies who came away with a statement […]

Brooklyn Nets players and coaches emphasized throughout the preseason that Ben Simmons’ re-acclimation to NBA play would be a process. That has been the case to open the season with Simmons fouling out of two of three games and scoring 17 total points. Simmons showed a more aggressive mindset in the first half of Brooklyn’s […]

Ben Simmons is off to a poor start to the 2022-23 season with the Brooklyn Nets. He is averaging just 7.0 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 5.7 points per game so far. Additionally, his amount of fouls per game is just one less than his points, which earned him a dubious historic feat. Justin Kubatko of […]

Ja Morant quickly emerged as one of the top young stars in the NBA over the last two seasons. The 23-year-old Memphis Grizzlies stud isn’t showing any signs of slowing down in 2022-23. The former second overall pick is leading the league in scoring at 35.3 points per game to start the year. Morant led […]

The Brooklyn Nets haven’t been off to the best of starts in the newest campaign. After splitting their first two games, the Nets were unable to overcome 38-point explosions from the Memphis Grizzlies’ backcourt of Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, losing 134-124 in the end, dropping to 1-2 to start the season. One pressing area […]

Everyone knows Ja Morant has athleticism that seemingly jumps right off the screen. That’s why 98 percent of non-Memphis Grizzlies fans tune into their games even without any rooting interest. But don’t sleep on the man’s basketball IQ. During crunch time of the Grizzlies’ matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, Ja Morant was able to get […]

The Brooklyn Nets ran into one of the league’s top up-and-coming teams when they traveled to face the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. Brooklyn faced another promising young squad in the New Orleans Pelicans to open the season. The result was an embarrassing blowout loss. The Nets turned in a more valiant effort this time, falling […]

Things haven’t exactly panned out great for Ben Simmons so far. He’s now played three games for the Brooklyn Nets, but at this point, it’s hard to deny that the former Rookie of the Year has still left a lot to be desired. It was another forgettable evening for Simmons on Monday as the Nets […]

Monday night’s matchup between the Brooklyn Nets and the Memphis Grizzlies definitely lived up to the lofty expectations fans had before the game tipped off. We saw a scoring barrage from some of the top players in the game today as Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving combined with Ja Morant and Desmond Bane to shatter […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant continues to cement his status as one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. And after climbing the scoring ladder, he has his eyes on Vince Carter and Kevin Garnett now. Durant cracked the Top 20 of the NBA’s all-time scoring list on Monday after exploding for 37 points in […]

The Brooklyn Nets expected a significant jump from fourth-year center Nic Claxton when they signed him to a two-year, $17 million contract this offseason. Claxton has delivered thus far, posting back-to-back double-doubles for the first time in his career to open the season. The big man provided a spark for Brooklyn in the second half […]

Earlier this year, Kyrie Irving picked up his player option for the 2022-23 season. He did that instead of opting out to become an unrestricted free agent. This means that Irving is under contract with the Brooklyn Nets for the 2022-23 season. He will also make $36,503,300 or so, depending on incentives. Here we’ll look […]

TJ Warren posted a 4-word message on his Twitter that will get Brooklyn Nets’ fans excited. “Can’t wait to hoop,” he wrote. The message is simple in nature. But for a player who’s been sidelined by injuries over the past couple of seasons, it is an inspiring bode of confidence. TJ Warren previously displayed signs […]

The Brooklyn Nets are not known for having one of the better home-court advantages in the NBA. When the team moved to Brooklyn, it hoped to cut into the fanbase of the struggling Knicks and stake a claim of New York City. Ten years later, the Knicks still reign supreme in New York. However, the […]

The Brooklyn Nets were embarrassed by the New Orleans Pelicans Wednesday in their season opener.

Brooklyn bounced back to grab their first win of the season […]

Pascal Siakam had one hell of a triple-double game for the Toronto Raptors on Friday night, but with the team losing to the Brooklyn Nets, he couldn’t help but focus on what he wasn’t able to do instead. The Cameroon native had a rather shocking reaction when he was made aware of his stat line […]

Kyrie Irving couldn’t help but remember Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant after he dropped 30 points on 11-of-24 shooting in the Brooklyn Nets’ victory against the Toronto Raptors on Friday. When his stat line was revealed to him during his postgame interview, Irving took notice of his 11-of-24 mark and emphasized it was his […]

The Brooklyn Nets have another significant reinforcement on the way. Nets head coach Steve Nash said Seth Curry is “probably a couple more practices” away from making his season debut. Curry missed the season opener and all four of Brooklyn’s preseason games while recovering from offseason ankle surgery. The 32-year-old came to the Nets as […]

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris will make his season debut Friday night against the Toronto Raptors after missing his team’s season opener and final three preseason games. Harris is dealing with soreness in the same foot as his surgically repaired ankle. “I am going to play tonight,” Harris said at shootaround Friday, via Chris Milholen. […]

The Toronto Raptors will travel across the border for a Friday night NBA matchup with the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center. With that said, it’s a good time to check out our NBA odds series, which includes a Raptors-Nets prediction and pick, laid out below. Toronto won their opening game by the thinnest of margins, […]

23 minutes. That’s all it took for Ben Simmons to foul out in what turned out to be a rather lackluster Brooklyn Nets debut for the highly controversial point guard. Simmons failed to make a significant impact in his first game for his new team, which also played a part in Brooklyn’s blowout loss to […]

Several Brooklyn Nets players spoke throughout training camp about shedding the team’s “soft” reputation from last season. But “soft” was an accurate description of the Nets in their season opener Wednesday night. The Nets were manhandled by the New Orleans Pelicans 130-108 before a home crowd of 18,000. Brooklyn lost the rebounding battle 61-39 and […]
