Seth Curry has been in and out of the lineup for the Brooklyn Nets since joining the team as part of the Ben Simmons-James Harden trade. The 31-year-old started on Tuesday and he helped the Nets to a 130-123 win over the Detroit Pistons. After the game, Nets head coach Steve Nash opened up about […]

Andre Drummond undoubtedly recorded the best play of Saturday night when he flashed a peace sign after a steal and before his coast-to-coast dunk. However, Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash is not buying the talks about his big man getting more ball-handling duties because of the play. It is just one play after all. While […]

Earlier Saturday, just a couple days removed from learning he is a full-time player once again, Kyrie Irving talked about his future with the Brooklyn Nets and how he wants to stay long-term and play alongside Kevin Durant. While much of the focus of the day was on the Nets playing a struggling Miami Heat […]

It’s been a pretty wild season for the 2021-2022 Brooklyn Nets. Just a couple of days ago, the team’s alpha Kevin Durant made some intriguing comments. He talked about how he wants to contend for a title for years to come in Brooklyn, even if they don’t win it this season. Per Mark Sanchez of The […]

Kyrie Irving was only eligible to appear in three more road games as of Wednesday morning. But it’s possible that his odds of suiting up to play in Brooklyn Nets home games just saw a major major boost. Shams Charania of The Athletic suggested he can play as soon as Sunday versus the Charlotte Hornets. […]

There are just 11 basketball games to go for the Brooklyn Nets before the season ends, and as of today, they appear headed for the eighth seed prior to the Play-In.

With 13 games to go before the Play-In tournament, we’re getting down to the wire. However, the Brooklyn Nets’ third All-Star player, Ben Simmons, still has no timetable to join his teammates.

Steve Nash had the best seat in Amway Center for the Kyrie Irving show that ensued on Tuesday. Irving exploded for 60 points in the contest, leaving the Brooklyn Nets head coach in awe of what he just witnessed. Irving was masterful as he led the Nets to a 150-108 demolition of the Magic in […]

Everybody wants to know when new Brooklyn Nets star Ben Simmons will actually make his debut for the franchise. Simmons is still working his way back from an injury setback involving his back, and there’s no timetable for his return. Based on what Nets head coach Steve Nash said Tuesday morning, there has to be […]

Almost from the moment he stepped foot in Philly, Tyrese Maxey was a fan favorite. Between his strong work ethic and happy-go-lucky personality, the young guard has been a great addition to the Philadelphia 76ers. After playing sparingly throughout his rookie season, things drastically changed for Maxey in Year 2. Due to the circumstances of […]

For the first time this wild NBA season we’re expecting Kyrie Irving to be in attendance for a Brooklyn Nets home game. Just not while available to play. You know, kind of like like how Ben Simmons made his epic return to Philadelphia, but just on the team’s bench. A “sort of but not really” […]

Ben Simmons made headlines despite the fact that he didn’t even play a single minute during Thursday’s much-anticipated matchup between the Brooklyn Nets and his old team, the Philadelphia 76ers. Up until today, the former Rookie of the Year is still nursing a lingering back injury that has prevented him from making his Nets debut […]

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.

On Thursday night, the Brooklyn Nets travel to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers.

Ben Simmons may not be suiting up for the Brooklyn Nets in their trip to Philadelphia to face the 76ers, but he’s not shying away from entering the building. The former Sixers star is reportedly going to be present on the Nets bench as he slowly makes his way towards making his debut with his […]

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 […]

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 […]

Just when Brooklyn Nets fans were getting used to the news that Kyrie Irving might still not be able to play even if NYC makes major changes to its vaccine mandate, just when it was made known Ben Simmons hurt his back while trying to ramp up to play, another piece of bad news dropped. According […]

Barely 24 hours ago, there was a huge update that New York City was looking to make important changes to local vaccine mandate policy that could impact Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving. For a short period of time, it sounded like Irving might actually be able to play home games as soon as March 7th […]

Ben Simmons, Andre Drummond, and Seth Curry joined the Brooklyn Nets over two weeks ago. They were traded from the Philadelphia 76ers on February 10, right before the 2022 NBA Trade Deadline. Curry and Drummond have four games under their belts in Brooklyn, but Simmons has yet to take the game-day court in a Nets […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Kyrie Irving has yet to play a home game for the Brooklyn Nets this season. He chose not to get vaccinated against COVID-19, and there is a vaccine mandate across New York City for indoor spaces. This mandate includes the Nets’ home court in the Barclays Center. However, NYC Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday that […]

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 […]

The Brooklyn Nets received a major boost to their backcourt on Monday as they won the Goran Dragic sweepstakes. While the Slovenian was garnering interest from a number of different teams including the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers, there are a couple of reasons, in particular, he ultimately decided to sign with the Nets. […]

The Brooklyn Nets might be in just eighth place in the Eastern Conference but they are still looking to compete for a title. Subtracting a disgruntled James Harden and adding Ben Simmons, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond balances out their roster and gives them a new look that could propel them back up the standings. […]

Remember that really archaic period in the NBA when the Brooklyn Nets had Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving and they were expected to win 500 championships? Yeah, that one. Well, things didn’t exactly pan out. Now, the Nets are in the midst of another new era with the addition of Ben Simmons, Andre […]

Throughout his NBA career, one narrative has always been held over Ben Simmons’ head. He is a phenomenal talent in multiple facets of the game, but his reluctance to shoot on the perimeter will be his downfall. The former No. 1 pick by the Philadelphia 76ers was always encouraged to expand that area of his […]

After news of the Ben Simmons-James Harden trade went down, Brooklyn Nets fans had one question: what are they going to do about Simmons? The former All-Star is a talented ball handler and arguably the best defender in the NBA. However, Simmons’ inability and reluctance to shoot has haunted him since his Philadelphia days. Speaking […]

The Brooklyn Nets have been in the spotlight the past couple of weeks due to trade rumors and finalizations. They recently completed the blockbuster transaction of James Harden and Paul Millsap for Philadelphia 76ers’ Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and two first-round picks. Now, the Nets are working on building their updated team with […]

It’s not every day your favorite team engages in an absolute blockbuster trade. Fans spend a lot of time concocting them on trade machines but so rarely do they actually go down. Thursday’s NBA Trade deadline was not one of those days. This time, we really got one. The Brooklyn Nets traded James Harden and […]

Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash recently sent a firm message that the team wouldn’t trade James Harden ahead of Thursday’s deadline.

The Brooklyn Nets lost their ninth straight game against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, which is why it didn’t come as a surprise Steve Nash was asked about his job status and whether or not he has received support from the front office.

The Brooklyn Nets are looking to avoid an eight-game losing streak, and they’ll have to do that against a tough Denver Nuggets team without Kevin Durant and James Harden, who’s dealing with a hamstring injury. With reports last week saying GM Sean Marks and the Nets are now ready to talk with Daryl Morey and […]

Because of the flurry of speculation that he might be headed to the Philadelphia 76ers in a blockbuster trade for Ben Simmons, that has everyone wondering if Harden is really injured or if this absence is simply intended to preserve his health for a pending […]

Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash is a glass-half-full type of guy. This is exactly why the 47-year-old shot-caller opted to focus on the silver lining of his team’s embarrassing 125-102 loss to the Utah Jazz on Friday night. Instead of lambasting his team for the poor effort they put forth against a determined Jazz […]

The Brooklyn Nets find themselves the center of trade rumors with six days to go before the deadline. While it was Kyrie Irving who occupied headlines for most of the season over his vaccination status, lately it has been James Harden who has been under the microscope.
