The stars were out in this one. The Brooklyn Nets hosted the Dallas Mavericks, and while Kyrie Irving wasn’t eligible to play, Kevin Durant and Luka Doncic certainly were. Durant and Irving, of course, have been balling out of their minds. Kyrie dropped 50 versus the Hornets, then KD puts up 53 on the Knicks–then […]

Less than 24 hours after the Brooklyn Nets went bonkers over Kyrie Irving’s 60-point explosion, Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie sent them crashing back to earth on Wednesday night. Dinwiddie buried the game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer to give the Mavericks the 113-111 victory, shutting up the entire Barclays Center (via Bally Sports Southwest). SPENCER […]

It has been a tough year for Brooklyn Nets fans. The team has started strong, but the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Kevin Durant got hurt, James Harden asked for a trade and got it in the end, while Kyrie Irving was shut down for a large part of the season and […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving put up the second 60-point performance in the NBA in as many nights, matching Karl-Anthony Towns’ 60-point outburst with his own against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday.

Kevin Durant came into the defense of his Brooklyn Nets teammate Kyrie Irving once again as the fiery guard continues to refuse getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

Kyrie Irving, take a bow. The mercurial point guard for the Brooklyn Nets just reminded us he’s still one of the most potent scorers in the game. Kyrie Irving poured in 60 points against the Orlando Magic, breaking the Nets franchise record of 57 set by Deron Williams back in 2012. KYRIE 60 PTS. NETS […]

Former second overall pick Michael Beasley recently went on an emotional tell-all interview wherein he revealed just how hard times have been for him of late. The 33-year-old bared his heart and soul in the interview and you can’t help but feel really bad for the situation he’s currently in. Beasley revealed the mental health […]

It has been about five weeks since Sean Marks and the Brooklyn Nets sent shockwaves around the NBA by trading away James Harden, just 13 months after ponying up to get him. The story dominated headlines and the entire saga came to a boil on March 10 when the Nets visited the Sixers, winning in […]

Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic just came out with one of the best assists of the season on Monday night as his team took on the Philadelphia 76ers in Philly.

The Brooklyn Nets took a breather on Monday, so Kevin Durant had extra time to watch the other NBA teams go at it. Apparently, he chose to tune in on the game between the Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers. Good choice for the Nets superstar. After all, it’s always a great idea to watch two […]

After the Brooklyn Nets defeated the New York Knicks 110-107 behind Kevin Durant’s 53-point explosion on Sunday, KD had some pointed words for NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

Kevin Durant is a pretty good basketball player. You can probably tell after he single-handedly tormented the New York Knicks for 53 points on Sunday night. The man who received the brunt of the punishment was Knicks guard Evan Fournier. Now Fournier is far from small standing at 6’6″, but defending Kevin Durant he might […]

Kevin Durant put on a show on Sunday for the Brooklyn Nets. The player many feel is the best in the world came into a matinee vs. Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, and the New York Knicks and put on his own personal fireworks display. There was no Kyrie Irving in the game, although bizarrely he […]

Kevin Durant was his own spectacle on Sunday, dropping 53 points, six rebounds and nine assists in the Brooklyn Nets’ showdown with the New York Knicks. KD dominating isn’t the weird part though. It’s that Kyrie Irving was in the stands watching the game as a fan, even though he’s not allowed to play. That […]

Kevin Durant scorched the New York Knicks in a win for the Brooklyn Nets. He scored 53 points on 19-37 shooting and added nine assists, six rebounds and two steals in the Nets’ 110-107 win over their crosstown rivals. Durant the Knicks have plenty of history together, though much of it is predicated on something […]

STOCKTON, Calif. — James Wiseman made his NBA G League debut with the Santa Clara Warriors on Thursday.

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets straight up mopped the floor with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. So much so that Los Angeles Lakers icon Magic Johnson was confident enough to crown them the kings of the Eastern Conference already. Magic tweeted out after the game, as he is wont to do, […]

The Brooklyn Nets absolutely insisted this game wasn’t too special. It’s another regular season game they told us over and over. But the energy in the Wells Fargo Center for Nets-Sixers should have told everyone it wasn’t just another game. Not even to a couple seasoned superstar vets like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Former […]

The Philadelphia 76ers got completely destroyed at home by Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in what turned out to be an anti-climactic matchup.

The biggest narrative […]

The Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets turned up the intensity as soon as Thursday’s marquee matchup started.

The lingering “beef” between Joel Embiid and Kevin Durant was on full […]

The biggest game of the year, at least in terms of storylines and national coverage, is here: the Brooklyn Nets head to tackle the Philadelphia 76ers.

Much has been made between Thursday night’s highly-anticipated clash between the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers. Apart from the fact that basketball fans will be treated to an intense matchup between two of the favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference this season, the underlying narrative is that of the Ben Simmons-James Harden […]

The Brooklyn Nets are fighting tooth and nail to try and avoid the play-in tournament but as of right now, it’s a sad reality. However, actually getting newly-acquired Ben Simmons on the court would be a huge help. The Aussie continues to recover from a back injury that he sustained when he ramped up his […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ stars have downplayed many of the contests we fans would call “big games” so far this season. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving mostly did the same again ahead of tonight’s matchup vs. Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. But because these two teams made a monster trade at the deadline, there’s certainly […]

The Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers are preparing for one of the most anticipated showdowns of the season.

James Harden’s exit from the Brooklyn Nets might not have been beautiful or graceful, but Kevin Durant understands where his now two-time ex-teammate came from. After Tuesday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets, Durant was asked about Harden’s departure and their upcoming meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. While KD played down the “rivalry” narrative as a […]

Kevin Durant didn’t have his best game against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night. Thanks to Kyrie Irving dropping 50 points in spectacular fashion in a 132-121 Brooklyn Nets win, it didn’t really matter. However, not everyone is about the bottom line when it comes to game results. Sports bettors in particular are privy to […]

Arguably the biggest matchup after the All-Star break has got to be the Philadelphia 76ers hosting the Brooklyn Nets.

As it turns out, however, Harden isn’t exactly hyped about the upcoming matchup. […]

Coming in to Tuesday night’s game versus LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets, Kyrie Irving was only eligible to appear in six more regular season games for the Brooklyn Nets. Just six! So presumably, he knew he needed to make each one count. Irving was an absolute assassin against the Hornets and sent a reminder […]
