Kevin Durant woke up on Sunday and decided to be unstoppable. The Brooklyn Nets’ scoring absolutely went on a tear over the weekend against the New York Knicks, dropping 53 points to lead his team to a 110-107 victory. And you bet, Mama Durant was all hyped up by his son’s performance, even hopping on […]

Kevin Durant is a pretty good basketball player. You can probably tell after he single-handedly tormented the New York Knicks for 53 points on Sunday night. The man who received the brunt of the punishment was Knicks guard Evan Fournier. Now Fournier is far from small standing at 6’6″, but defending Kevin Durant he might […]

The drama surrounding the Brooklyn Nets and the city of New York has reached new heights recently. Despite some of the current vaccination rules being loosened, star Kyrie Irving is still unable to play in home games for the team. It’s led some of his teammates (most notably, Kevin Durant) to call out the city’s […]

Kevin Durant put on a show on Sunday for the Brooklyn Nets. The player many feel is the best in the world came into a matinee vs. Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, and the New York Knicks and put on his own personal fireworks display. There was no Kyrie Irving in the game, although bizarrely he […]

Just like all other NBA fans, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is confused as hell on the Kyrie Irving situation with the Brooklyn Nets.

Kevin Durant was his own spectacle on Sunday, dropping 53 points, six rebounds and nine assists in the Brooklyn Nets’ showdown with the New York Knicks. KD dominating isn’t the weird part though.

Kevin Durant scorched the New York Knicks in a win for the Brooklyn Nets. He scored 53 points on 19-37 shooting and added nine assists, six rebounds and two steals in the Nets’ 110-107 win over their crosstown rivals. Durant the Knicks have plenty of history together, though much of it is predicated on something […]

For the first time this wild NBA season we’re expecting Kyrie Irving to be in attendance for a Brooklyn Nets home game. Just not while available to play. You know, kind of like like how Ben Simmons made his epic return to Philadelphia, but just on the team’s bench. A “sort of but not really” […]

Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets is still not allowed to play unvaccinated against COVID-19 in New York, but he can enjoy games at Barclays Center as a fan. On Saturday night, Irving was among the thousands in attendance to watch the Duke Blue Devils and the Virginia Tech Hokies go at it in the […]

After getting blown out by the Brooklyn Nets the last time out, Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid realized one thing: they need “willing shooters.” With that said, the Sixers star wants his teammates to step up and “let it fly” as defenses focus on him and new superstar teammate James Harden. He understands they […]

Ben Simmons made headlines despite the fact that he didn’t even play a single minute during Thursday’s much-anticipated matchup between the Brooklyn Nets and his old team, the Philadelphia 76ers. Up until today, the former Rookie of the Year is still nursing a lingering back injury that has prevented him from making his Nets debut […]

The Philadelphia 76ers were on the receiving end of quite a beating at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday nights. While most folks thought this was going to be a battle for the ages between two top contenders in the East, it turned out to be a disappointing 129-100 lopsided loss for Joel […]

Kevin Garnett’s stint with the Brooklyn Nets didn’t exactly go as planned. The star-laden Nets were supposed to immediately compete for a championship after they sent an unprecedented trove of future first-round picks to the Boston Celtics in exchange for the aging Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry. Instead, Brooklyn won just a single playoff […]

James Harden had one of his worst shooting games ever on Thursday night in a grudge match against his former team, the Brooklyn Nets.

The Philadelphia 76ers were faced a rude awakening as the Brooklyn Nets came to town on Thursday night.

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets straight up mopped the floor with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night.

Ben Simmons might be the big haul for the Brooklyn Nets during the trade deadline, but Seth Curry isn’t a slouch. The former Sixers guard is one of the best shooters in the league, which makes it surprising that he was included so readily in the James Harden trade. It left more than a few […]

The Brooklyn Nets absolutely insisted this game wasn’t too special. It’s another regular season game they told us over and over.

Former […]

The Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets turned up the intensity as soon as Thursday’s marquee matchup started.

Brooklyn Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving reminded everybody Tuesday why he’s worth all the drama while simultaneously reminding everybody why that drama is so infuriating.

The Brooklyn Nets are fighting tooth and nail to try and avoid the play-in tournament but as of right now, it’s a sad reality.
