Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving is only eligible to play in road games right now, but there is a firm belief that could change as the season rolls on. Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the organization is feeling optimistic about having Kyrie available as a full-time player once again: Woj says there’s “real optimism within […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets entered Wednesday’s huge road game against the Chicago Bulls with a bit of an annoying trend they’ve had to field questions about for most of the season: they hadn’t beaten any elite teams. That’s over with after their 138-112 evisceration of the top-seeded Bulls. Before the most recent victory […]

After dropping the first two games of the season series to the Chicago Bulls, the Brooklyn Nets responded in loud fashion on Wednesday night with a massive 138-112 victory. It was exactly what they needed after winning just two of their last five games, but Kevin Durant knows that Chicago is no longer a pushover. […]

Sometimes superstar athletes seem like a completely different species. Other times they seem a bit like the rest of us. After Kyrie Irving’s third game back since being reinstated by the Brooklyn Nets, the seven-time All-Star opened up with reporters about his routine for viewing Nets games he’s not (yet) eligible to play in. Of […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set to face the Oklahoma City Thunder at Barclays Center on Thursday night. The Nets had their big three Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving available for the stunning 138-112 slaying over the Bulls. We don’t expect Kyrie Irving to appear in the next game since it’s in Brooklyn where he […]

The Brooklyn Nets seem like they need a break. At least most of them. Ten dudes at once in health and safety protocols about a month ago, bringing back Kyrie Irving part-time and whatever distraction that sparked, and now James Harden dinging up his knee a little bit are just some of the issues this […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a rather unusual set of circumstances for their game in Portland versus the Trailblazers. They played in overtime on Sunday at home where they defeated the San Antonio Spurs 121-119. But then they had to hop a six-hour cross country flight for a back-t0-back in Oregon. Not everyone was able to […]

The depleted Portland Trail Blazers pulled off one of the most stunning wins of the regular season on Monday, beating Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets 114-108 at Moda Center for a second straight victory. Playing without starting guards Damian Lillard (abdominal tendinopathy-injury management), C.J. McCollum (right lung pneuomthorax) and Norman Powell (health-and-safety […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets snapped a five-game losing streak at home after fending off a scrappy San Antonio Spurs team 121-119 in overtime on Sunday afternoon. Of course, Kyrie Irving (ineligible to play at home) was out and so was Joe Harris (still without timeline for return from ankle surgery). The Nets actually […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a lot riding on a Sunday afternoon tipoff. Coming off a five-game home losing streak, they were desperate to shake the narrative that they really struggle at home. Of course, there’s more to unpack with that story as Kyrie Irving, now back as a part-time player, cannot help them in Brooklyn. […]

Tonight, Klay Thompson officially returns to the NBA hardwood for the first time since 2019. It’s a huge game for the Golden State Warriors, who will get one of the game’s best shooters back in their lineup as they shoot for a championship. They face the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Chase Center. Kevin Durant, Thompson’s […]

Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets was able to win a gold medal last summer with San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich as his head coach. Durant was one of the best players for Team USA during their gold medal run just like he always is. He’s one of the best scorers of all […]

The Brooklyn Nets assembled one of the greatest big threes in NBA history. 2019 offseason additions Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were joined by James Harden. While it has not gone to plan, completely, the Nets are still powerhouses of the Eastern Conference. They were one three-pointer away from the NBA Finals last season, and […]

The Brooklyn Nets are officially in a slump. Having lost four of their last five games, the only recent game the team won was a road match versus the Indiana Pacers, which happened to be Kyrie Irving’s season debut. James Harden came back from health and safety protocols on Christmas Day and went nuclear in […]

The Milwaukee Bucks came to town and handled business easily against the Brooklyn Nets, winning 121-109.  Kevin Durant was his usual MVP self, but he didn’t get the type of help he needed to hold off Giannis Antetokounmpo and the rest of the reigning champs. Durant finished with 29 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. […]

Fresh off a win in Kyrie Irving’s return, a 129-121 victory over the Indiana Pacers, Kevin Durant, James Harden and company were back in Brooklyn to host the reigning champs, the Milwaukee Bucks. Jrue Holiday was out, in health and safety protocols. For the Nets, of course, Kyrie Irving was out for the game in […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set to face the team who knocked them out of the playoffs and went on to win the NBA championship in the Milwaukee Bucks. Brooklyn is 24-12 overall, second place in the East. The Bucks, led as always by Giannis Antetokounmpo, are 25-15.  But fans are still getting used to the […]

The Brooklyn Nets traveled to take on the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Normally that game wouldn’t garner much national attention. But it was Kyrie Irving’s first game of the season. All eyes were on the 6’2” guard who missed the first 35 games of the year because he’s not yet vaccinated. The Nets initially decided […]

The first returns on 2022 NBA All-Star fan voting have arrived. Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry and Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant are the overall leaders in votes for their respective conferences, each tallying over 2,300,000 votes. Golden State's Stephen Curry and Brooklyn's Kevin Durant lead the Western and Eastern Conferences, respectively, in the […]

The Brooklyn Nets are 24-12 after another road win, this one a 129-121 victory over the Indiana Pacers. The Nets are now 24-12, 1.5 games behind the first place Chicago Bulls. They’re tied with the Utah Jazz at 14-3 for the best away record in the NBA. Oh right, and we almost forgot to mention, […]

Kyrie Irving has returned. After missing the first 35 games of the season, the player who signed with the Brooklyn Nets in the summer of 2019 along with Kevin Durant, is back in action. By now you know why he was out. The Duke product is not vaccinated for COVID-19, and in New York City […]

Kyrie Irving has officially returned. After missing the team’s first 35 games of the season, we finally have some big three Nets basketball to analyze. Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Irving appeared in their ninth regular season game together in the same uniform, the first of this 2021-2022 campaign. Irving dropped 22 points, to go […]

The day has finally arrived when Kyrie Irving makes his much awaited, and in many ways controversial, return to the Brooklyn Nets. In second place in the Eastern Conference at 23-12, the Nets now trail the Chicago Bulls by two full games. But all eyes are on the seven-time All-Star, born in Melbourne Australia, set […]

The Memphis Grizzlies handed Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets with their third consecutive loss on Monday and this was thanks in large part to another offensive explosion by Grizzlies star Ja Morant. The 22-year-old went off for 36 points against KD and his Nets as he led Memphis to a 118-104 statement win. After […]

The Brooklyn Nets are officially on a losing streak. It’s been a whirlwind. The Nets, who previously had 10 players in health and safety protocols, suffered their third straight defeat on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. It was an absurd amount of unavailable players and part of the reason the team brass made the controversial […]

The Brooklyn Nets lost their third straight game on Monday night after running into the streaking Memphis Grizzlies. Ja Morant once again starred for the Grizzlies, who notched their fifth straight win. After previously taking down LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, Morant also outdueled Kevin Durant in their 118-104 victory over the Nets. […]

There were times this didn’t feel very likely. There were times it felt like a trade might offer Kevin Durant and James Harden more help in 2022 and beyond than Kyrie Irving could. But the New Jersey native is now finally set to make his season debut this week, with the seven-time All-Star expected to be […]

It has been a draining season so far for Terance Mann and the Los Angeles Clippers, but they just started the New Year, and ended their road trip, with a big win. If you ask him, it’s just another week in the NBA. Behind 19 points, three rebounds, and a clutch 3-pointer from Mann, the […]

Times Square in New York City is the place to be to celebrate the end and beginning of a new year. If you wanted to see one of the greatest performances of the season that same day, all you had to do was travel down to Brooklyn and watch the LA Clippers defeat Kevin Durant‘s  […]

The world of professional wrestling has been incorporating famous stars from other sports for a while now. Most make sporadic appearances, including Shaquille O’Neal, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and many more. However, if some NBA players were to become WWE Superstars, that would be very fun to watch. One of the teams that could produce some WWE […]

The Brooklyn Nets had the game in control, but it slipped through their grasp. After the 120-116 home loss to the shorthanded Los Angeles Clippers, the mood from Kevin Durant, James Harden and head coach Steve Nash was one of disappointment, bewilderment and disgust. From one perspective, the Nets deserve a bit of a pass. […]

It won’t be long now. While Steve Nash, Kevin Durant, James Harden and the Brooklyn Nets have lost their first-place standing, they’ll be getting a turbo boost to the rotation soon. DeMar DeRozan now has the Chicago Bulls atop the Eastern Conference leaderboard, as both the Nets and Bulls are 23-10. However, Brooklyn something coming […]

The Brooklyn Nets had an eventful couple of weeks. A wave of COVID-19 landed 10 of their players, including Kevin Durant and James Harden, in health-and-safety protocols. Between injuries to Joe Harris, still recovering from ankle surgery, and that rash of positive tests for coronavirus, the team brass huddled up and made the massive decision […]

With the All-Star game coming in February, discussions have begun around the league about the All-Star starters. The NBA opened the voting process on Christmas Day, and the community is already torn about some players. This year, there are a few surefire starters, like Steph Curry or LeBron James, but a ton of players deserve […]

The Golden State Warriors’ run of dominance with Kevin Durant has adversely affected them after Durant left in free agency. Not only did the Warriors lose one of the game’s best players but the shadow of Durant still looms. The Warriors aren’t just out to win the title to extend their dynasty, they’re trying to […]

The Brooklyn Nets dropped a key game to the Philadelphia 76ers. But sitting in first place in the Eastern Conference, now up just a half game over the Chicago Bulls, the bigger picture here is reintegrating not only their players who have been out in health and safety protocols but also their superstar Kyrie Irving. […]

Tempers were flaring in this one. Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers came to Barclays Center looking for some revenge. The Brooklyn Nets sit comfortably in first place in the Eastern Conference and have won both prior games versus the Sixers. Kevin Durant has pretty much owned Embiid and company this season and even waved […]

As the Brooklyn Nets welcome Kyrie Irving back into the fray, he is refamiliarizing himself with the game at the NBA level. According to those who are in practice with him, the Nets’ All-Star looks as good as he ever has. Irving is a bit worried about getting into his groove again but James Harden […]

The wild ending of the heavyweight battle between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets got a little chippy towards the end. Joel Embiid and Kevin Durant, the stars of their respective teams, got into it late in the game, as the two played exchanged trash talk. In typical Embiid fashion, he proceeded to wave […]
