The Brooklyn Nets have a young core that they’ve had to turn to because of things like Kyrie Irving’s absence, Joe Harris’ ankle injury, and other various setbacks. And while that stuff bums us out, one silver lining has been that it’s opened the door for more of the team’s young core and given us […]

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 Brooklyn Nets continue to string together wins, as the road warriors are 10-3 away from Barclays Center.

Nets head coach Steve Nash assesses Kevin Durant’s recent MVP form, which can scare the rest of the league.

Despite the continued absence of Kyrie Irving and James Harden’s recent inconsistencies, the […]

Blake Griffin admitted that he was surprised upon learning he was out of the Brooklyn Nets rotation. He came over from the Detroit Pistons via buyout market in 2021.

The NBA trade season is upon us as December 15th will mark a key date when many players signed in free agency are eligible to be traded. While Brooklyn Nets fans continue to wait for any updates at all regarding the status of Kyrie Irving, it doesn’t make sense to expect any imminent change there. […]

In the team’s second game of a back to back, the Brooklyn Nets came up short in Houston. Steve Nash’s group is now 17-8, having handled seven of their last ten.

With Stephen Curry closing in on a major milestone of being the NBA’s all-time leader in three-pointers made, Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash was asked about the pending accomplishment.

The Brooklyn Nets will now officially be without two of their starters (in addition to Kyrie Irving) for their matchup against the Houston Rockets. According to NBA correspondent Marc Stein, both Kevin Durant and LaMarcus Aldridge are sitting out of the Wednesday night game to rest. The Nets say they are holding Kevin Durant and […]

Nets’ big man Nic Claxton missed 17 straight games with a non-COVID illness. But he returned when the team played the Minnesota Timberwolves last week, logging just over three minutes. He didn’t get any burn in the next one, a loss to the Chicago Bulls. But surprisingly, head coach Steve Nash called upon the Georgia […]

On Wednesday, James Harden will make his second return to Houston in a Nets uniform since the Rockets traded him to Brooklyn ten months ago. It’s almost unbelievable how it hasn’t even been a full calendar year since the trade. So much has happened for both the Nets and the Rockets in that timespan and […]

The Brooklyn Nets may have found the big man they have been looking for this season. In recent games, the Nets have evidently been mixing and matching as they try to figure out who’s the best player to appoint inside the paint.

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 set off to Texas for a back-to-back set against the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets. In the first bout Kevin Durant and the crew were trailing by as many as 17 points. But Steve Nash and the coaching staff asked the team not to get discouraged at the half. They listened, storming […]

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

The Brooklyn Nets led for a significant portion of their game against the Chicago Bulls Saturday, but they didn’t make enough shots when it mattered most. The Nets drop to 16-7 and are now just a half game up on the Bulls, who emerged victorious in the second meeting between the two Eastern Conference powerhouses. […]

Kevin Durant and James Harden are usually on the same page. Harden is 2nd in the entire NBA, behind only Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul, in assists per game with 9.3. Many of those land in Durant’s hands. But while Harden may have a sixth sense for where many of his teammates are on […]

When the season began, Brooklyn Nets fans had unusually high hopes for Nic Claxton, the former second-round pick in 2019. When the action first kicked off, it was Claxton who Nets head coach Steve Nash tapped to start in place of Kyrie Irving. The 6’11” big out of Georgia drew starts in the first three […]

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.

[…]

NBA stars are paid highly to lead their teams. They play a huge responsibility of turning their squads into championship contenders. Although throughout the years, we’ve seen them display legendary performances, there are just times when they remind us that they are also human. The NBA season is still young. But so far, we’ve seen […]

New York sports fans are some of the most savage group of supporters you can ever come across.

The first-place Brooklyn Nets are winning, but they may not have a lot to say to each other about it. Head coach Steve Nash has been trying to get his team (14-5) to communicate more on the floor.

But after only logging nine total minutes in Cleveland during the team’s 117-112 win, coach Steve Nash made the switch to LaMarcus Aldridge in the starting lineup. The seven-time All-Star got the start against […]

LaMarcus Aldridge has been balling out this season – and the Brooklyn Nets have sorely needed it. They’re in first place through 18 games, thanks in large part to his white-hot shooting. Aldridge is in many ways the most pleasant surprise of the Nets season. Recall, he retired abruptly last year after joining the Nets […]
