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.

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.

The Brooklyn Nets have had championship aspirations ever since they brought together Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden.

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant must be feeling pretty relieved to have Kyrie Irving back on a full-time basis.

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.

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 […]

On Kyrie Irving’s 30th birthday, the Brooklyn Nets All-Star got one present he has been hoping for all season long–even if he’s not ready to celebrate it for fear of jinxing anything.

There are just 10 games remaining in the 2021-22 regular season, and the Brooklyn Nets may be down but they’re not out.
