On Tuesday night, Brooklyn Nets star guard Kyrie Irving reminded basketball fans why he is regarded by many to be one of the most talented players to ever lace them up in the NBA. Irving dropped 50 points in Brooklyn’s 132-121 win over the Charlotte Hornets. In the process, Irving accomplished something that only Michael […]

Philadelphia 76ers fans have had March 10 circled on their calendars ever since the team traded Ben Simmons to the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden. They’re hoping for the chance to boo the two-time All-Star who stopped wanting to play for them. Simmons cited mental health struggles as the reason he did not suit up […]

Kevin Durant became just the latest member of the 25,000 career points club, joining an elite list of names. The Brooklyn Nets star did this during their game against the Boston Celtics. It’s an incredible achievement, one that not a lot of former stars can say they’ve ever reached. Kyrie Irving certainly thinks he can […]

The Brooklyn Nets continue a downward trend as they just can’t get a healthy team on the floor. The most impactful absence of their season has been Kyrie Irving.

Kyrie Irving isn’t shy and he isn’t boring that’s for sure. And his description for Boston Celtics fans who boo him and have words for him during games, won’t do much to improve the “relationship” he has with his former fan base. The Brooklyn Nets visited Irving’s former team on Sunday afternoon. But it was […]

Kyrie Irving knows how great of a scorer Kevin Durant is, but even the All-Star guard was in awe after witnessing his Brooklyn Nets teammate become just the 23rd player in NBA history to reach 25,000 points. The Nets playmaker has nothing but huge praises for Durant, who exploded for 37 points against the Boston […]

In nearly two full seasons, Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash has rarely had a fully healthy team. The Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving-James Harden trio barely took the floor at the same time, resulting in massive disappointment. Swap in Ben Simmons for Harden and things haven’t improved at all yet. The latest timetable for Simmons’ possible […]

Mike Krzyzewski has spent over four decades as the head coach of the Duke Blue Devils. He will coach his last regular-season game with the team against North Carolina Saturday night. From 1980 to 2022, Coach K led the team to 1,196 victories, five of them being NCAA Championships. He was offered employment from NBA […]

With how well James Harden has been playing for the Sixers in his first few games for his new team, it’s almost easy to set aside all the drama that led to the former MVP’s shocking move to Philadelphia. It somehow feels like Harden’s decision to force his way out of the Brooklyn Nets happened […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to wreak havoc on businesses across the world, including the Brooklyn Nets. Kyrie Irving decided not to be vaccinated against the virus and is unable to play in New York City due to their COVID-19 inoculation mandate. In late February, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that he would […]

The Brooklyn Nets season has not gone as planned. This was supposed to be the revenge season after the big three of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden couldn’t stay on the court together last season.

It’s been an interesting year for the Brooklyn Nets as they continue to fight for their playoff hopes. Kyrie Irving hasn’t been playing home games due to not being vaccinated.

New York City is getting closer to removing its COVID-19 vaccine mandates, which could pave the way for Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving to play in their remaining home games this season.

The announcement that Brooklyn Nets fans have been waiting for all season long may have just been made. Well, maybe. We’re not certain yet. But there’s more hope than there has been at any point all year. Recently the Governor of New York State, Kathy Hochul made the decision to relax vaccine and mask mandates […]

The Brooklyn Nets squeaked by the Milwaukee Bucks, 126-123. It was a whirlwind game with lots of insane plays by Kyrie Irving. Without Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons or Joe Harris, the diminutive star took on a mostly healthy Bucks squad and punished them time after time. Kyrie finished with 38 points, a season-high for the […]

Kyrie Irving has been having a wild 2021 – 22 season. The Brooklyn Nets star has been a pretty controversial figure due to his stance about the COVID-19 vaccine and the ramifications of that on his playing time.

We keep hearing Nets players talk about how positive the vibes have been since the big trade that sent out James Harden and brought in Ben Simmons, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond.

The Brooklyn Nets may have just nabbed the signature win of what has been a difficult season on Saturday night.

You’re never going to believe this, but there’s some bad news involving a Brooklyn Nets star not being available to play as soon as we all hoped. The Nets struck a monster trade bringing in Ben Simmons from Philadelphia. Simmons hasn’t played since the fateful June 21 home loss to the Atlanta Hawks, when he […]

Pressure is mounting for the Brooklyn Nets. They’re eighth-place in a much-improved Eastern Conference. These playoffs are shaping up to be a bloodbath where some excellent teams won’t even make the second round. Earning a sixth seed so they can avoid a possible single-game elimination play-in fate would be huge for Kevin Durant and company. […]

We’ve been monitoring the updates on Kevin Durant’s Nets return so closely because, well, he’s Kevin Durant. As of today the Brooklyn Nets are 8th in the standings with a 31-29 record. The problem here is that if the season ended now, Brooklyn would be on the road in Toronto for a single-game elimination Play-In […]

The Boston Celtics are doing just fine right now with their core of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, as they are currently sixth in the Eastern Conference after a strong stretch of recent play.

Like they were a season ago, the Brooklyn Nets were one of the most fortunate teams in this season’s NBA buyout market. Last year they landed Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge. That duo has provided a big lift to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving at different times since coming aboard. Griffin was key back in […]

The Brooklyn Nets made an absolute blockbuster of a trade cutting bait on declining, disgruntled, soon-to-be-maxed superstar James Harden in favor of Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and a pair of first round picks. The headliner there is Simmons, the 25 year-old, two-time All-Star out of Melbourne, Australia. He’s one of the best defensive […]

The Brooklyn Nets have had a really hard time cobbling things together without star Kevin Durant. KD has been out of the lineup since January 15th. At one point the Nets suffered a grueling 11-game losing streak just before All Star break. But the road is suddenly looking a bit brighter. Durant has been ramping […]

Kyrie Irving has yet to play a home game for the Brooklyn Nets this season. He chose not to get vaccinated against COVID-19, and there is a vaccine mandate across New York City for indoor spaces. This mandate includes the Nets’ home court in the Barclays Center. However, NYC Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday that […]

The Brooklyn Nets aren’t the unluckiest team. Some fan bases mired in ongoing agony would most certainly admit to feeling jealous of Nets fans.

The Brooklyn Nets have been in the spotlight a lot recently, thanks to a recent trade between the franchise and the Philadelphia 76ers.

[…]

Ben Simmons appears to be closing in on his debut for the Brooklyn Nets. On Tuesday, team general manager Sean Marks provided a crucial update on the former Rookie of the Year’s current status, and by the looks of it, it seems like we’re going to be seeing Simmons take the floor for his new […]

Kyrie Irving might be only playing for the Brooklyn Nets on a part-time basis, but he’s increasingly confident the team made the correct moves at the NBA Trade Deadline. The guard hopped on Twitch on Monday night with rookie teammate Cam Thomas and sent a stern message to the haters who believe the Nets don’t […]

The Brooklyn Nets signing Patty Mills was one of the best moves from this past offseason. The 2014 champion and longtime San Antonio Spurs guard has been a vital player for the Nets, both on and off the court, all season long amid quite a bit of turmoil. Mills has provided much-needed consistency for a […]

With the 27th pick in the 2021 NBA draft, the Brooklyn Nets select… Cam Thomas, guard, LSU. Apparently, Kevin Durant had something to do with that selection too. That same Bleacher Report article hints Kevin Durant, who is still out with a sprained MCL in his knee, also pushed his team not to trade Thomas […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has had his fair share of idiosyncratic teammates. There’s Ricky Davis, Chris Andersen, JR Smith, and of course, Kyrie Irving, just to name a few. When you’ve played for as long as 18 years in the NBA, you’ll definitely meet a lot of people along the way. But perhaps […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant first sprained his knee back in mid January. There was some friendly fire when Bruce Brown was pushed while playing defense in a game vs. the New Orleans Pelicans. Brown went flying into Durant’s leg. The collision appeared to hyperextend KD’s knee a bit. Still, fans breathed a major sigh […]

There are winds of change blowing in New York. Governor Kathy Hochul lifted a mask-or-vaccine mandate for indoor businesses last week. Wednesday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and New York City Mayor Eric Adams both addressed the New York City COVID-19 vaccine mandate in place, which is keeping Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving from playing in […]
