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 […]

The Brooklyn Nets will take any victory at this point to improve their position in the play-in tournament. On Tuesday night, they bucked a relatively slow start, punctuated by a silly scramble, to score a 118-105 win over the Houston Rockets. The Nets almost saw their 21-point lead evaporate in the fourth quarter after the […]

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. The Brooklyn Nets have been without the third All-Star on their roster ever since they traded James Harden and Paul Millsap for Simmons, […]

If the playoffs started today, the Brooklyn Nets would be in the play-in tournament against the Charlotte Hornets. The winner of the play-in would go on to face the top seed in the Eastern Conference, currently the Miami Heat. Although the Nets have a long road ahead of them to even get to the first […]

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. But with four games remaining in their campaign, Brooklyn finds itself at 10th place in the Eastern Conference and in serious danger of missing the playoffs.   The Nets have lost three of their last four outings. Though they […]

A clip of Kyrie Irving dribbling the ball right before a game recently went viral. So much so, that even Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James had to take notice. This isn’t just any other video of the Brooklyn Nets point guard casually dribbling the basketball, though. It was Kyrie showcasing his elite skills with […]

Ben Simmons might make a return at some point this season. the Brooklyn Nets are certainly still hopeful. But they’re going to have to keep their season alive long enough to see that day. Because he won’t be available to them for the Play-In which begins on April 12. Simmons experienced a flare-up of an […]

On the most recent episode of ClutchPoints’ Nothing But Nets podcast, we got a very intriguing question from a listener. Martin from the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn wanted to know this: “How relieved are Brooklyn Nets fans that the New York Knicks are blowing their draft position, conceding relevance to the Nets for the foreseeable future?” […]

The Brooklyn Nets find themselves in some uncharted waters. According to FanDuel, they’re still among the favorites to win the Eastern Conference. Yet if it weren’t for the NBA adding a play-in tournament, they wouldn’t even be playoff bound right now, which is crazy to think about. The Nets are tied for 10th place in […]

The Brooklyn Nets really wanted this one. They wanted it badly enough that Kevin Durant played through what he said was a sore ankle and dropped a career high 55 points. In the end it wasn’t enough and the Nets fell to Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks 122-115. The Hawks have now supplanted the […]

Despite their latest loss to the Atlanta Hawks that pushed them down to the 10th seed in the East, Kyrie Irving is not bothered by the Brooklyn Nets’ situation. After all, he is confident about what he and Kevin Durant can do. However, he admitted that for them to succeed, the rest of the team […]

Kyrie Irving has been a rather eccentric character throughout his career. The Brooklyn Nets star has a penchant for doing unusual things on and off the court. While this one isn’t unusual in itself, it’s still pretty funny to see happen in an actual NBA game. During the Nets’ game against the Atlanta Hawks, Kyrie […]

The Brooklyn Nets are one of biggest the disappointments of the 2021-22 NBA season. In what was expected to be the first full season of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving, all three have either missed significant time or are already gone from the roster. Harden was dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers at the […]

We’re nearing the end of the NBA’s regular season. Sometimes it has felt like fans of the Brooklyn Nets have lived nine lives. But as we hurdle toward the home stretch, we got one game that’s certainly starting to feel like a rivalry matchup. Giannis Antetokounmpo and the defending champs, the Milwaukee Bucks, came to […]

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving joined the Brooklyn Nets together to establish their basketball careers even further and bring a title to the franchise with minimal success. So far, they have only brought drama and injuries. They still have the talent to achieve basketball immortality together but have not been able to do so yet. […]

Trae Young came up with another huge performance for the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night as they made easy work of a hapless Oklahoma City Thunder side. Young dropped a game-high 41 points as the Hawks took out the Thunder, 136-118. This was the 26th time in his career that Young eclipsed the 40-point mark. […]

The Brooklyn Nets don’t care too much if not every game they win is pretty. At times in this one, a 130-123 win over the bottom-dwelling Detroit Pistons, they struggled to get stops on defense. And that’s a theme here this year. As head coach Steve Nash said after the game, this team simply isn’t […]

Showdown at the Barclay Corral. The team that knocked the Brooklyn Nets out of the 2021 NBA playoffs, and then went on to win the championship are coming to town.

Damian Lillard is one of the most exciting players to watch in the NBA today. The Portland Trail Blazers point guard can light it up in an incendiary second and hit the game-winner to cap it all of. But the Blazers star is also still a fan of the game himself. On a recent appearance […]

The Brooklyn Nets have had championship aspirations ever since they brought together Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden. While the latter is now long gone, this team is still hungry to win an NBA title, but health has played a major issue. KD missed substantial time this season with a knee injury, while Kyrie […]

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant must be feeling pretty relieved to have Kyrie Irving back on a full-time basis. But whatever joy or giddiness he felt seemed to evaporate in the aftermath of Sunday’s explosion form Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball, who stole the show during Irving’s 2022 home debut to give the Hornets […]

He’s back. Kyrie Irving made his much, much, much-anticipated home return on Sunday and while the outcome isn’t what Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets were hoping for, they’ll still take it. Coming into Sunday’s showdown the Charlotte Hornets, their squad led by second-year star LaMelo Ball, were just one game behind the Nets for […]

It was fun times down in South Beach on Saturday. The Brooklyn Nets took on the Miami Heat and got a huge win and made another statement. The Nets have now demoralized the Milwaukee Bucks by beating Giannis and co. with just Kyrie Irving, who dropped 38 in a win there without the help of […]

Kyrie Irving’s personal stance against the COVID-19 vaccine will no langer hamper his or the Brooklyn Nets’ ambitions of a championship.

With just a handful of games remaining in the regular season, the Brooklyn Nets are looking to stay in the top half of the Play-In tournament. If they finish as the 7th or 8th seed, that means one Play-In win and they’re in the playoffs. If they finish as an 8 or 9 seed, they’ll […]

The Brooklyn Nets might be able to win the championship with their currently available roster. But what if they could introduce a third All-Star to their lineup? What if that third star specialized in defense, this Nets team’s biggest weakness? It sounds like Ben Simmons is feeling a little less pain back right now. But […]

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving is one of the most skilled players in the NBA today–or perhaps ever–and even Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul is in awe of what he can do with the ball.
