The news that Kevin Durant requested a trade rocked the entire NBA world. It set the Brooklyn Nets and many hopeful NBA teams into a state of uncertainty. In the roughly three weeks since the trade has been requested, there seems to have been little movement on a deal getting done. Brooklyn is holding a […]

The Denver Nuggets should be among the top teams in the coming 2022-2023 NBA season, but can they be considered serious title contenders? Assuming Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray fully recover from their injuries, the Nuggets should be the No. 2 team in the Western Conference behind the defending champions. The Nuggets are legitimate […]

The state of the Brooklyn Nets has drastically changed in the past few days. After being looked at as one of the biggest title contenders with their superstar tandem, the fall from grace has been rapid. Kyrie Irving evaluated the market and did his best to find a new location before taking the money and […]

After extending star center Nikola Jokic to a massive contract, the Denver Nuggets made a quality move in NBA free agency. ESPN’s Malika Andrews reports that free agent guard Bruce Brown has agreed to a two-year contract with the Nuggets worth at least $13 million. Bruce Brown has agreed to a 2-year, $13M+ deal with […]

The Brooklyn Nets have to invest in two things: their superstars and their future. That means letting go of aging assets and avoiding depreciating free agents. Keep in mind that the Nets made the 2022 NBA Playoffs, but they got swept by the Boston Celtics in the first round. That was not supposed to happen. […]

The Milwaukee Bucks were not able to defend their crown, losing to the Boston Celtics in the second round. Milwaukee was without Khris Middleton, who is their second-best player, and his presence was sorely missed. The Bucks went through stretches where they were unable to score as Boston keened in on Giannis Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo still […]

The Brooklyn Nets underachieved incredibly this past 2021-22 season. Entering as the pre-season favorites to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy in June, the Nets were swept in the first round by the eventual Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA playoffs. In this post, though, we’re going to be looking at some Nets […]

The Atlanta Hawks have an eventful offseason ahead of them. The franchise was seemingly ahead of its developmental curve as they burst on the scene in 2021. The Hawks embraced the villain role and made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. Unfortunately, the franchise took a step back this season by going […]

After getting absolutely pummeled by the Miami Heat in the first round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs, the Atlanta Hawks will be looking to make some serious adjustments in the offseason. As one of the most prolific scorers and playmakers in the league, Trae Young was merely non-existent in the series and could not gain […]

The Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets 2022 NBA Playoff series instantly got more interesting following the Nets’ NBA Play-In Tournament win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brooklyn guard Bruce Brown told reporters that the Nets planned to go after Celtics big men Al Horford and Daniel Theis, the team’s primary rim defenders without the injured Robert […]

The Boston Celtics are set to play the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs following Brooklyn’s NBA Play-In Tournament victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. After the win, Nets guard Bruce Brown, who played one of his better games of the season against Cleveland, provided the Celtics with some bulletin board […]

The Brooklyn Nets got it done vs. Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and the Cleveland Cavaliers. With the 115-108 win over J.B. Bickerstaff’s squad, Brooklyn advances out of the Play-In. They are now officially the seven seed in the playoffs and prepare for the second seed Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics. And that matchup has […]

There is only one game left in the entire season. You made it. Congrats. The Brooklyn Nets are now 43-38. They control their own destiny to host the first Play-In game. If they can beat Tyrese Haliburton and the 25-55 Indiana Pacers they’ll lock up the seven, heading into the Play-In which begins on April […]

The Brooklyn Nets took care of business vs. the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. They now sit in 8th place and control their destiny. If Brooklyn win their next three games, they’ll lock up the 7th seed. That means your 2022 Nets would host a Play-In game, win and you’re in the playoffs, as a 7th […]

The COVID pandemic has eased up significantly over the past few months and at this point, it is clear that we are all moving towards the new normal. However, this does not mean that the coronavirus has miraculously disappeared. As a matter of fact, Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets could now be facing a […]

There are just 10 games remaining in the 2021-22 regular season, and the Brooklyn Nets may be down but they’re not out. Part of every opponent’s game plan will be trying to limit Kevin Durant in order to keep this team from making a big push and gain critical momentum. Remember, the longer this Nets […]

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 […]

It’s easy to overreact to the first game of the season. The Milwaukee Bucks torched the Brooklyn Nets, with Steve Nash’s team looking like it’s going to have lots of problems in the season’s early going. Of course, all of the narratives might get flipped on their heads in a few hours after the Nets […]

The Nets have made the decision that star point guard Kyrie Irving will not be allowed to play in road games or practice with the team as long as he is unvaccinated and therefore ineligible to play in home games in Brooklyn. As of this writing, that means he would be out for the season […]

The name of the game this season for the Brooklyn Nets is going to be “make it to the playoffs with a healthy roster.” As such, I expect Steve Nash to use a deep, ten player rotation. It’s difficult to carve out true “breakout” candidates on a team whose top-end talent has all been established […]

NBA free agency has slowed down a bit after a wild first day of action as a lot of the big names went off the board early on. On Tuesday, the Brooklyn Nets and Bruce Brown agreed to a one-year deal to bring him back alongside Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden, according to […]

The Brooklyn Nets have two of the most proven clutch scorers in the history of the game in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. That’s why fans were left baffled when Bruce Brown was the man with the ball in his hands during the dying embers of Game 3 against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Nets lost […]

For the second time in three seasons, LeBron James is just like us during the NBA Playoffs. With the Los Angeles Lakers already sent home, James is sitting back as a spectator like any fan, reacting to memes making light of some of the heated postseason moments. The Lakers star witnessed the final moments of […]

Bruce Brown was so close to being the savior for the Brooklyn Nets in Game 3. But, the basketball gods had other plans and the Milwaukee Bucks ended up salvaging their season with a slim three-point win to help them cut down the series deficit, 2-1. Brown missed a couple of makeable shots in the […]

Brooklyn Nets forward Bruce Brown was playing terrific in Game 3 on Thursday. Until he didn’t. Brown missed the Nets’ last two attempts, allowing the Milwaukee Bucks to escape with a pulsating 86-83 win. Brown tried to take matters into his own hands by taking the last two shots of the Nets. This despite main […]

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving did not plan this game-ending sequence for the Brooklyn Nets. As a result, Bruce Brown became “the central character for the day” on Twitter, the one thing no human being wants to be. Sorry, too late: Brown became the sole focus of NBA Twitter after a pair of late misses […]

Since joining the Brooklyn Nets, Bruce Brown has become known as a player who does a little bit of everything to help his team. Whether it’s scoring, rebounding, or defending taller opponents, Brown’s contributions for the Nets have made him an important part of head coach Steve Nash’s rotation. With the Nets set to face […]

In an unlikely turn of events on Friday, the reeling Orlando Magic broke the Brooklyn Nets’ six-game winning street. Orlando, who also ended their own nine-game slide with the victory, was aided by the efficient 38 points scored by forward Aaron Gordon. Gordon, not well-known for his shooting as career 32.2 percent shooter from three, […]

Bruce Brown of the Brooklyn Nets put together the best performance of his young career on Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings. He capped it all off by shimmying in front of the Kings after draining a triple: Bruce Brown broke out the shimmy in front of the Kings bench.😂💀 pic.twitter.com/yv5EAnjc5p — House of Highlights […]

James Harden has made a concerted effort to share the ball with his Brooklyn Nets teammates, perhaps too much so. Nets guard Bruce Brown suggested Harden has been “too passive” since coming to Brooklyn, per Alex Schiffer of The Athletic. Brown also said he has encouraged Harden to seek his own shot more frequently. Bruce […]

Even though it wasn’t the Woj Bomb that Brooklyn Nets fans were hoping for (that could still come later), the Nets have made their first trade of the 2020 offseason, as they’ll be sending Dzanan Musa and a 2021 second-round pick to the Detroit Pistons for Bruce Brown. The Nets are picking up a young […]

The Brooklyn Nets are trading Dzanan Musa and a 2021 second-round pick to the Detroit Pistons for Bruce Brown, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The pick is via the Toronto Raptors. This certainly isn’t the Woj Bomb Nets fans were hoping to see amid all the James Harden rumors, but this is still a solid […]

Early in the game, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and LeBron James connected on an inbounds alley-oop which made the Detroit Pistons defense look silly. The Pistons implanted the play on their minds and vowed to avenge themselves. Midway into the third quarter, they succeeded in this campaign as Bruce Brown and Christian Wood teamed up for an […]

NBA Summer League is a launchpad for the youngest players in the league. Typically, Summer League team consists of team’s rookies and second-year players, as well as overseas and G League players fighting to prove they’re worth a roster spot on an NBA team or another overseas franchise.  Every year, players stand out, whether they […]

Just give the rook some time in the spotlight! Seven-year NBA veteran Andre Drummond and Detroit Pistons teammate Bruce Brown Jr. interrupted second-year guard Khyri Thomas during a one-on-one interview with NBA TV. Thomas — who was soaking up an on-court interview after scoring a game-high 26 points against Croatia’s men’s basketball team in the […]

The Dwane Casey era with the Detroit Pistons is in full swing. Bruce Brown, to some degree, will be part of it. They may not be making big splashes in free agency (and one could argue that this might be the time to strike with the LeBron James monopoly no longer a road block) but the […]
