The Brooklyn Nets are 19-8 and in first place […]

Amid the constant drama of Kyrie Irving’s situation with the Brooklyn Nets, a surprising player’s name arises.

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving hasn’t suited up yet this season due to local New York City vaccination mandates.

The Brooklyn Nets, 10-3 away from the comfy confines of Barclays Center, are road warriors, with an identity centered around the defensive end of the court. You’d be forgiven for not having predicted that before 2021-22 tipped off,  but here we are 26 games into the regular season. When you think of James Harden, Kevin […]

The Indiana Pacers are in a dire spot right now. They only have 12 wins in 28 games played, far from what was expected from this roster.

For some inexplicable reason, the Houston Rockets are on fire right now. They beat the Kevin Durant-less Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night, 114-104 to extend their winning streak to seven games. For some inexplicable reason, Kyrie Irving still refuses to get a COVID-19 vaccine. But even without him, the Nets are doing perfectly fine. Just […]

After stumbling to a rough start to the season, the Brooklyn Nets are looking very much like a championship contender these days.

The Brooklyn Nets might have given themselves a pass when they first learned they would be without the services of Kyrie Irving.

Earlier reports have suggested that Kyrie Irving could be somewhat softening his stance against the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here we are through 23 games, now over a quarter of the way through the regular season and the Brooklyn Nets are far from perfect. But they are in first place in the East despite playing without the services of a Top 20 NBA superstar in Kyrie Irving. It’s a credit to their top-end talent […]

Brooklyn Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving hasn’t played yet this season because he’s not vaccinated against COVID-19, and it doesn’t seem as if he’s going to be getting that jab anytime soon. While there has been reporting out there suggesting Irving is against vaccine mandates (the New York City mandate is part of what’s […]

We’re now into December, and there has been no progress on the Kyrie Irving front. It was back in late September around Brooklyn Nets training camp when we first began to hear rumors he was not vaccinated.
