We’ve arrived. Steve Nash’s squad hit what feels like a zillion snags along the way but here they are, a 7th seed, set to play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers. If the Brooklyn Nets win their next game, they’re in the playoffs as the 7th seed and will earn the right to ship up to […]

The Brooklyn Nets clinched the No. 7 seed on Sunday and will gear up for a showdown vs. Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2022 NBA Play-In Tournament on Tuesday.

Kevin Durant has played in Oklahoma City, the Bay Area, and now New York. And KD may not feel he got as much attention in OKC as he now gets in NYC, but dominating with his playmaking is old hat for the Brooklyn Nets superstar if you ask him. In the final game of the […]

The Brooklyn Nets are seventh in the Eastern Conference’s playoff picture. But there aren’t many basketball fans who would claim that they are the seventh-best team in the conference. Several factors made the Nets’ record worse than what it could have been this season. Some of those were out of their control, like injuries to […]

Kevin Durant has seen a lot of different defenses this season. Triangle-and-two, box-and-one, 2-3 zone, the Minnesota Timberwolves “junking up” the lane by completely ignoring the Brooklyn Nets’ non-shooters. Durant started sharing that he noticed teams were doubling him even more aggressively this 2021-22 than they had in the past. Remember the time he tried […]

Scoring points and dunking on people on the internet are two things Kevin Durant does well. The Brooklyn Nets star is known for being active on Twitter.

The Brooklyn Nets could go down as the scariest bottom seed of all-time. But Kevin Durant claims he doesn’t see it that way.

The Brooklyn Nets were reportedly still holding out hope that newly acquired point-forward Ben Simmons might play for them this season. The timetable for his return keep getting pushed back further and further. By now, however, many fans have fully accepted Simmons will not suit up at all this postseason.

There were a lot of challenges and unforeseen circumstances that made coaching life harder on Nets coach Steve Nash than perhaps he ever expected. Kyrie Irving is in and out for “personal reasons.” Durant can only play in half the games. James Harden pulls a hamstring, an issue that never fully heals before he’s traded […]

The Miami Heat own the top spot in the Eastern Conference. While that usually means that they get the easiest matchup plus homecourt advantage in the first round, it’s a little different this season with the Brooklyn Nets ominously lurking as a potential eight-seed. Are the Heat giving a side glance at what’s going on […]

There is only one game left in the entire season. You made it. Congrats. The Brooklyn Nets are now 43-38. They control their own destiny to host the first Play-In game. If they can beat Tyrese Haliburton and the 25-55 Indiana Pacers they’ll lock up the seven, heading into the Play-In which begins on April […]

Just like the rest of the NBA world, Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant is confused as hell about how Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic got his 16ht technical foul of the season.

The Brooklyn Nets have two of the most gifted offensive players this game has ever seen in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. When they’re both on their game, the Nets are virtually unstoppable, and this is exactly what Brooklyn is hoping for now that the playoffs are just around the corner. For his part, however, […]

Anthony Edwards kept it going on Thursday night with another huge performance as the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 127-121. Edwards dropped a career-high 49 points en route to joining the likes of LeBron James and Kevin Durant in the scoring record books. After his explosion against the Spurs, Edwards now has the […]

It’s completely possible that the Los Angeles Lakers would not be where they are right now if Anthony Davis were healthy. Unfortunately, the eight-time All-Star missed a significant part of the season, which has left the Lakers eliminated from playoff contention. This has been the case for Davis these past two seasons. This year, he’s […]

The Brooklyn Nets have made a pair of roster moves with a mind on the upcoming Play-In and hopefully playoffs. On Thursday afternoon, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the Nets are waiving forward James Johnson. That should open up a roster spot to convert rookie Kessler Edwards to a standard NBA contract. The […]

Kevin Durant has gotten used to life in The Big Apple. He has also perhaps gotten used to the unique feeling that most of the basketball fans where he lives still aren’t over the fact he snubbed their favorite team, the New York Knicks, for the much newer NYC basketball team, the Brooklyn Nets. And, […]

The Brooklyn Nets gave the New York Knicks some chances during Wednesday’s game, but RJ Barrett and co. couldn’t seize the win, despite building a big lead. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving’s big second-half comeback sparked the key run to give the Nets the 110-98 win in the battle of the boroughs and a massive […]

Kevin Durant was once seen as the potential savior of the New York Knicks. The possibility of him joining them in free agency seemed real.

Much has been made about Kevin Durant getting his jersey retired — both by the Oklahoma City Thunder and by the Golden State Warriors. Draymond Green has now chimed in on the debate and in his mind, it is clear which side he is taking here. In a recent interview on CBS Sports Radio, Green […]

Nothing like a crosstown rivalry to fire up opposing teams. The New York Knicks hosted the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday and Madison Square Garden got rocking again.

Kyrie Irving isn’t one to take any slander sitting down. The Brooklyn Nets guard showed exactly that on Wednesday night during their Subway Series matchup against the New York Knicks.

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant has been a thorn in the New York Knicks’ side for the past few seasons. He toyed with Knicks fans’ emotions when there was buzz about him going to New York. The fact that he did, but eventually ended up in Brooklyn made it sting a little extra as he […]

The Brooklyn Nets took care of business vs. the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. They now sit in 8th place and control their destiny. If Brooklyn win their next three games, they’ll lock up the 7th seed. That means your 2022 Nets would host a Play-In game, win and you’re in the playoffs, as a 7th […]

The Brooklyn Nets didn’t have their prettiest or most dominant win of the season against the Houston Rockets. That one was actually back on Jan. 12 when the old big three of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving thrashed DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls. It was a few months ago, but […]

Looking for beautiful basketball with such purity that would make you love the game even more? This ain’t it. Even the Brooklyn Nets and the Houston Rockets would agree.

On Monday, Steve Nash shared the disappointing but not surprising update that Ben Simmons will be out through the remaining four games and the play-in tournament, set to tipoff on April 12.

Everyone falls for the random fake post at one point or another. Not even an ESPN analyst like Stephen A. Smith was spared when he spouted some fake news on the Brooklyn Nets. Stephen A. Smith was live on ESPN’s First Take earlier this week wherein he cited a “report” about how Nets guard Kyrie […]

The Brooklyn Nets entered the 2021-22 season as the odds-on favorite to win the NBA championship.

Things aren’t going to plan for the Brooklyn Nets this season. In fact, they really haven’t since the early days of the Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving-James Harden trio.
