SAN FRANCISCO — A few weeks ago, nobody knew if Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry would play in the first round. Not only did he suit up, but it looks like he’s got his swagger back.

The 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers will go down as one of the loudest failures in NBA history. Even worse, their 33-win campaign marked the culmination of a voluntary two-year roster overhaul following the utmost validation of successful roster-building: an NBA championship, achieved by a team with depth, a mix of old and young, two definable […]

SAN FRANCISCO — The reigning MVP of the league just went to battle against someone who some call the best defender in the world.

The offseason is here for the Brooklyn Nets. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have been eliminated as the Nets got unceremoniously swept by Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors have a 3-1 lead over the Denver Nuggets, and superstar guard Stephen Curry hasn’t started in a single game.

Ever since Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry returned from injury, he’s been a member of the second unit. Throughout the playoffs, the two-time MVP is averaging 27.5 points and 5.5 assists on a minutes restrictions. So ahead of Game 5, the two big questions are: is Curry still on a restriction? If no, will […]

The Brooklyn Nets offseason begins, and the first name to keep an eye on is that of the head coach, Steve Nash.

But Kevin Durant will have a significant say in that matter in Brooklyn, and he may not […]

Ben Simmons never made it back to the lineup in time to save the Brooklyn Nets’ season. But it doesn’t sound as if Kyrie Irving isn’t holding anything against his teammate. After the Nets were swept by the Boston Celtics at Barclays Center, many fans said goodbye to a season ripe with “what ifs.” Irving, […]

Phillip Lindsay was left heartbroken after his name was not called in the 2018 NFL Draft. He felt like his impressive career at the University of Colorado Boulder warranted him being drafted, but unfortunately, the call never came. He was even more upset that his hometown team, the Denver Broncos, did not take a chance […]

There was some recent momentum for a possible return to the court for Ben Simmons. But on Sunday evening, the Brooklyn Nets released a Game 4 status report ruling the three-time All-Star “out.” Sure enough, that prompted plenty of fans and prominent media members to tee off on Simmons’ character. Earlier on Monday, ESPN’s Adrian […]

Many people expected Game 4 to be the last of the playoffs for the Denver Nuggets. Just like many expect Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry to knock down his free throws.

There was a period where it really started to feel like Ben Simmons might suit up this postseason for the Brooklyn Nets. Toward the tail end of last week, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, and The Athletic’s Shams Charania all pointed to a possible Game 4 return for his Nets debut. But that all […]

Game 4 didn’t quite go the Golden State Warriors’ way against the Denver Nuggets. The Warriors went into a huge hole, nearly dug themselves out of it, but then fell just short at the end. The up-and-down performance resulted in the squad’s first loss of the playoffs against the Nuggets. One thing that stood out […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant has never struggled quite like this. We’d been told the Boston Celtics’ defense was up there with some of the all-time great units, but to hold KD to this type of performance through three games? It’s pretty shocking and disappointing for the Brooklyn Brigade. Durant is averaging just 22.0 points […]

The Brooklyn Nets will look to keep their season alive over the next couple of games. Down 2-0 to the Boston Celtics, they’re in do-or-die mode now. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving both struggled in Game 2, and if they lose the third one in a best-of-seven series, they’d join some rather gloomy company. No […]

The Brooklyn Nets are in do-or-die territory now. They face an 0-2 hole to the Boston Celtics in their best of seven first-round series. Kevin Durant has struggled from the field. Kyrie Irving had one monster game but then couldn’t find his groove in Game 2. Ime Udoka’s stifling league-best defense led by 2022 Defensive […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set to tip off Game 2 versus the Boston Celtics. Kevin Durant struggled in Game 1, while Kyrie Irving went ballistic. But in order to pull off the key upset, the Nets will need both of them to get hot at the same time. Otherwise Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Marcus […]

San Francisco, CA – The NBA Defensive Player of the Year this season ended up being Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart.

The Brooklyn Nets dropped Game 1 to the Boston Celtics, but it wasn’t because of Kyrie Irving. However, he did made headlines on Sunday because of reasons beyond his incredible play.
