Kyrie Irving is not a fan of the media. He doesn’t always give genuine answers and tends to defer questions. However, Kyrie Irving is brutally honest when it comes to his video game streams. The Nets star point guard has been discussing basketball topics on his streams and sharing controversial takes and opinions on differing […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a difficult season to navigate, to say the least. They dealt with roster changes nearly every game because of Kyrie Irving’s vaccination status. Not to mention, they lost James Harden and Paul Millsap while adding three more players to the squad in their trade with the Philadelphia 76ers in February. The […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has a lot of free time on his hands after the Nets were bounced in the first round of the NBA Playoffs by the Boston Celtics. The 4-0 sweep of Brooklyn caused quite the stir among NBA fans, and it seems some of them are still trying to troll Irving […]

Who could forget about Kyrie Irving’s infamous quote a couple of years ago about finally having a teammate he can trust to make clutch shots? This was in 2020 when Kyrie teamed up with Kevin Durant for the Brooklyn Nets. When he came out with that statement, more than a few folks believed that he […]

The past Los Angeles Lakers season was a one-of-a-kind mess. Shuffling up the squad they had would have been a wise decision. In one previously considered scenario, they looked into trading for one of the biggest lightning rods in the NBA, Kyrie Irving, to pair home with LeBron James. According to Ian Begley of SNY, […]

Kyrie Irving ruffled a few feathers with his recent comments about his struggles with the COVID-19 vaccine mandate this season. The Brooklyn Nets guard had missed majority of the NBA season as he was barred from playing in home games, and didn’t play at all until halfway into the campaign. He recently talked about his […]

Kyrie Irving made even more headlines off the court than on it this past season for the Brooklyn Nets. The mercurial point guard was the face of the polarizing vaccine mandate that barred players from setting foot on the court. The Nets eventually allowed Kyrie Irving to return for road games despite still being banned […]

Despite the Brooklyn Nets’ latest playoff failure, Kyrie Irving is still not giving up hope that he can make his partnership with Kevin Durant work. Irving’s future with the Nets remains in doubt. He has a player option for 2022-23 and is eligible for extension this summer, but it is unknown if Brooklyn will give […]

Stephon Marbury is not happy with the way Stephen A. Smith is criticizing NBA players–especially Kyrie Irving after the Brooklyn Nets’ shocking playoffs exit–so much so that he warned the veteran broadcaster that he could soon get the Will Smith-Chris Rock treatment. The former NBA player has issues with Stephen A. for years now, and […]

Brooklyn Nets fans have had a hard few weeks. Looking forward to Ben Simmons return, and how that might change their playoff fortunes, the Nets were regarded as an NBA Finals contender not long ago.

Stephen A. Smith didn’t hold back in his criticisms of Kyrie Irving after the Brooklyn Nets star lashed out at the media in what he called as their attempt to profit by “disrespecting people’s lives for entertainment.” The veteran broadcaster warned Thursday that he will unload everything he has to say about Irving’s comments in […]

Sparks were flying Friday during ESPN’s ”First Take”, as NBA Analyst Kendrick Perkins went off on a rant about Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving’s critical tweet about NBA media and its coverage of the players. “Just Watch all of the people who wake up every day and report about people’s lives on TV and social […]

Kyrie Irving didn’t exactly put his best foot forward with the Brooklyn Nets in 2021-22. Not only was he limited to just 29 regular season games as a result of his decision not to get vaccinated against COVID-19, leaving Kevin Durant to deal with the melodrama surrounding James Harden largely by himself. But even after […]

The Brooklyn Nets were embarrassed by the Boston Celtics, being swept in their first-round playoff series. During the series, the play of Nets superstar Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving was highlighted. Both All-Star struggled mightily against the Celtics defense, drawing all sorts of criticism. Some of that criticism came from ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. That […]

The only scary hours the Brooklyn Nets lived up to was being eliminated from the NBA playoffs scarily quickly. The Boston Celtics swept them, making them the only squad to be swept so far in the postseason. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving didn’t live up to their potential in the series and now have to […]

The expectation versus reality had a pretty big gap in between for the Brooklyn Nets this season. With three relatively healthy superstars entering the season, a long run at the Larry O’Brien trophy seemed destined for the New York-based side. Instead, the season came to be defined by two things primarily: Kyrie Irving’s off-court issues […]

The offseason is here for the Brooklyn Nets. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have been eliminated as the Nets got unceremoniously swept by Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics.

Speaking on SiriusXM NBA Radio, the former NBA All-Star […]

The Brooklyn Nets offseason begins, and the first name to keep an eye on is that of the head coach, Steve Nash. Following unceremonious endings, especially first-round sweeps, an NBA head coach is often made the fall guy. But Kevin Durant will have a significant say in that matter in Brooklyn, and he may not […]

The Brooklyn Nets had their season end much earlier than expected. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the rest of the squad entered the season as one of the odds-on favorites to win it all. Instead, they start their offseason early without even registering a single win in the playoffs. Durant will get many more cracks […]

Welp, that wasn’t how we wanted things to go. Scary hours long in the rearview, James Harden long gone. Nets fans dreams of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Joe Harris, Seth Curry, and Patty Mills flying up and down the court spotting up and bombing threes after Ben Simmons gets a big steal and kicks it […]

Jayson Tatum just led the Boston Celtics to a highly improbable first-round sweep of the Brooklyn Nets.

After the game, Tatum shared an endearing moment on the floor with Kevin […]

Ben Simmons never made it back to the lineup in time to save the Brooklyn Nets’ season. But it doesn’t sound as if Kyrie Irving isn’t holding anything against his teammate.

Despite a solid effort in Game 4 on Monday, Kyrie Irving fell short in trying to lead the Brooklyn Nets to live another day and salvage their season. They lost to the Boston Celtics in a down-to-the-wire contest, suffering an unexpected sweep in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Safe to assume, not many […]

And just like that, the Brooklyn Nets are out of the NBA Playoffs. In what has been nothing but a tumultuous season for the star-studded squad, getting swept out of the first round seems like an appropriate end. No matter how harsh that sounds. The Nets got defeated by the Boston Celtics in Game 4 […]

Stephen A. Smith is known for pushing boundaries with his untamed takes, but his latest comments on Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving have taken things to new heights.

Prior to Saturday’s Game 3 between the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics, news reports were that Ben Simmons was making his debut in Game 4. Then Game 3 happened and the Celtics took a 3-0 series lead on the Nets. On Sunday, new reports have surfaced that Simmons is no longer playing in Game 4. […]

Time is running out on the Brooklyn Nets after falling 0-3 to the Boston Celtics in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant has never struggled quite like this. We’d been told the Boston Celtics’ defense was up there with some of the all-time great units, but to hold KD to this type of performance through three games? It’s pretty shocking and disappointing for the Brooklyn Brigade. Durant is averaging just 22.0 points […]

As the Brooklyn Nets find themselves in a 0-3 hole to the Boston Celtics, you can sort of feel the roof caving in on a difficult season. The Celtics had the Nets outclassed in this one. Kevin Durant has been in a funk this series and it persisted at Barclays Center. We didn’t expect that […]

In his post-game interview following Saturday’s deflating 109-103 loss vs. the Boston Celtics, Kyrie Irving was asked about how the Brooklyn Nets’ current situation compares to how his Cavs came from 3-1 behind to upset the Golden State Warriors during the 2016 NBA Finals. As it turns out, Irving had no intention of going there. […]

This has been an absolutely awful series from the Brooklyn Nets against the Boston Celtics. The team has been outplayed at both ends of the floor by the men in green, in particular on the defensive side of things. The Celtic defense has given Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving fits all series long, and it […]

The Brooklyn Nets will look to keep their season alive over the next couple of games. Down 2-0 to the Boston Celtics, they’re in do-or-die mode now. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving both struggled in Game 2, and if they lose the third one in a best-of-seven series, they’d join some rather gloomy company. No […]

Kyrie Irving had one monster game but then couldn’t find his groove in Game 2. Ime Udoka’s stifling league-best defense led by 2022 Defensive […]
