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 […]

The Brooklyn Nets lost head coach Steve Nash on Monday after the 48-year-old shot-caller was forced to enter the league’s health and safety protocols.  Brooklyn has lost all three games in Nash’s absence and it is clear at this point that they need him back on the sidelines as soon as possible. The Nets have […]

It’s all water under the bridge at this point, but it seems like we we shall continue learning more about the unceremonious end to the Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, James Harden Big 3 era in Brooklyn. Harden is of course in Philadelphia, where the 76ers are 3-0 in his brief stint with Joel Embiid. Whatever […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant made his much-awaited return on Thursday night. He hasn’t played since January 15 when he sprained his MCL. The Nets, however, fell to the Miami Heat, 113-107. While he admitted there are no moral victories after the game, Durant seemed to have maintained his sense of humor. Maybe he’s just […]

As expected, Kevin Durant had a strong performance in his first game back after a month and a half on the sidelines. KD dropped a game-high 31 points on Wednesday, but in spite of his heroics, the Brooklyn Nets were unable to hold off a shorthanded Miami Heat side. Wednesday’s 113-107 loss was the Nets’ […]

The basketball world has long been anticipating Kevin Durant’s return from injury and on Wednesday night, we all got our wish.

Kevin Durant is back. We won’t get the KD vs. Jimmy Butler matchup we had hoped for, but that’s only because it’s the Miami Heat star who’s out of the lineup for Thursday’s showdown between the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat. Durant is set to return to the floor after missing the last 21 games […]

James Harden finally made his home debut for the Sixers on Wednesday and it was nothing short of spectacular. The former league MVP carried his scorching hot form into the Wells Fargo Center as he helped lead his team to a 123-108 win over the New York Knicks. As expected, Harden was showered with love […]

It has not been easy for Brooklyn Nets fans to watch the lovefest James Harden is having in Philadelphia with Joel Embiid, while Ben Simmons still has no timetable for his return to play. When Simmons first came to Brooklyn a few weeks ago, fans initially wondered if his mental health would bar him from […]

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. But injuries to Durant, Irving’s COVID-19 stance keeping him from playing in Brooklyn, and Harden’s mental state with […]

The Brooklyn Nets went 5-16 in Kevin Durant’s absence. He hasn’t appeared in a game since Jan. 15. While he was away, the team suffered a grueling 11 game slide.

Kevin Durant was involved in a bit of friendly banter on Saturday as the Milwaukee Bucks hosted the Brooklyn Nets in Fiserv Forum. The topic of conversation centered around last season’s epic second-round playoffs matchup between these two teams wherein Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. barely edged out KD and the Nets. Durant, who is still […]

Kevin Durant is getting extremely close to returning for the Brooklyn Nets. There was some hope that KD was going to be able to suit up for Brooklyn on Monday or on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors, but apparently, he just isn’t ready yet. Be that as it may, Durant is expected to be available […]

Heading into the home stretch of the 2022 regular season, the eighth-seeded Brooklyn Nets have had enough challenges for two teams.

While there were expectations that Ben Simmons could play for the Brooklyn Nets soon, that doesn’t seem to be the case now. After the Nets pulled the trigger to trade James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons for a slew of players and picks, many thought it won’t be long for the Aussie […]

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 […]

James Harden had a hell of a debut with the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. The newest Sixers guard piled on 27 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds in a 133-102 rout of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Things looked business as usual for the Beard with step-back threes and an endless parade of free throws on […]

Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash recently expressed optimism about the much-awaited return of Kevin Durant. The star forward has been sidelined for weeks now due to a knee injury. Not coincidentally, the Nets have been on a downward spiral since his exit. On Thursday night, in their first game back following the All-Star break, the […]

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 […]

One thing Philadelphia 76ers fans have enjoyed most since the James Harden-Ben Simmons blockbuster trade with the Brooklyn Nets went down has been roasting Simmons’ notorious lack of a jump shot.

While he hasn’t logged a single minute, the last eight months represent the most eventful portion of new Brooklyn Nets star Ben Simmons’ professional career. A brutal slump from the free throw line in the playoffs last season culminated in his not wanting to get fouled, thus passing on an open dunk in crunch time […]

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. A team with an elite general manager like Sean Marks nestled comfortably in a top market like New York while looking to support one of the 10 best players of all […]

The Brooklyn Nets are one of the NBA’s most intriguing teams. They have yet to tap into their full potential because so many of their key players have been absent with injuries. It was a big reason why the team couldn’t get much going with James Harden, why he was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers […]
