While so many fans speculate about a Kyrie Irving for Ben Simmons trade, it sounds like the Sixers are more focused on acquiring James Harden.

Kyrie Irving may not be making noise on the court this season, but the Brooklyn Nets guard rarely stays silent on social issues – and the Kyle Rittenhouse decision is no exception.

The Brooklyn Nets have raced out to an early 12-5 start, the best record in the Eastern Conference. This despite Kyrie Irving still having zero involvement with the team thus far after his offseason vaccination drama.

Because of a mixture of personal reasons, return-from-injury, Health and Safety Protocols, new injuries, rest nights, conservative treatment of not-so-serious injuries, the 2021 Brooklyn Nets ran an absolute clinic in load management. The big three of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden only appeared in eight regular season games. It wasn’t a surprise when […]

James Harden took center stage for the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday as he led his team to a 109-99 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Currently at 10-4, the Brooklyn Nets have been relatively impressive to start the 2021-22 campaign.

What cannot be denied right now is that the absence of Kyrie […]

The Brooklyn Nets are not here to complain. But Steve Nash admitted something pretty intriguing about the impact Kyrie Irving‘s absence has had on his squad. Now of course, Brooklyn knows that they have a better roster than most teams in the NBA. But they also know that since assembling what many (accurately) labeled as […]

There is no Kyrie Irving around. James Harden has had significant struggles with his return to play from an injury and the new rules targeting non-basketball moves. But with those two seismic hurdles, the Brooklyn Nets cannot afford to slack in other departments. There’s one area where the Nets are really really slacking, and it […]

There’s no denying that Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving isn’t the most popular player in the NBA right now.

What would the world be without another Kyrie Irving story? Much has been said about the polarizing situation of the Brooklyn Nets star and his adamant refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

The polarizing situation concerning Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving won’t end soon, especially after the NBA announced on Sunday a new recommendation on COVID-19 protocols.

At this point in the season, the Brooklyn Nets haven’t exactly lived up to the lofty expectations many had on them before the start of the campaign.

After a six-game home stand the Nets will now be tested with a six-game road trip. The Pistons, Raptors, Bulls, Magic, Pelicans and Thunder don’t exactly represent murderer’s row.

There appears to be a lot of confusion right now with regards to New York City’s vaccination mandate.

The Beard is back. After a disappointing start to the 2021-22 NBA season, James Harden broke out with an efficient triple-double of 18 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds against the Detroit Pistons to put the Brooklyn Nets back over .500.

Now that Kyrie Irving has made it publicly known that he has no plans of getting vaccinated and abiding by the state of New York’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate, the Brooklyn Nets may have no other choice left but to trade the All-Star guard.

The Brooklyn Nets haven’t exactly lived up to preseason expectations as a championship favorite over the first five games of the regular season.

Steve […]
