Steve Nash was regarded as one of basketball’s brightest young coaches when the Brooklyn Nets hired him in September 2020. He’s out just over two years later, a pair of failed seasons, never-ending drama and wholly dispiriting beginning to 2022-23 prompting Nash’s mutually agreed upon departure from Brooklyn. Nash, obviously, wasn’t the Nets’ only problem. […]

The Brooklyn Nets shocked the basketball world on Tuesday night after they announced the firing of now-ex-head coach Steve Nash.

After firing Steve Nash, the Brooklyn Nets have reportedly decided to hire disgraced Boston Celtics tactician Ime Udoka as his replacement. General manager Sean Marks, however, is denying the claims that they have already made a decision for their next coach. Speaking to the media hours after they made the decision to let Nash go, […]

There was always a chance Joe Mazzulla would prove himself up to the task as the Boston Celtics head coach in 2022-23, making it much easier for the front office to part ways with Ime Udoka upon season’s end. Now that he’s set to become head coach of the Brooklyn Nets less than an hour […]

The Brooklyn Nets shocked the NBA on Tuesday when they announced they were firing their head coach Steve Nash and replacing him with suspended Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka.

The Brooklyn Nets entered their Monday night tilt against the Indiana Pacers motivated to avenge their loss to the same team two days prior. And the Nets passed the test with flying colors, as they held-off the hard-charging Pacers in the fourth quarter off Kevin Durant’s 36 point, 7 rebound, and 9 assist explosion. Kyrie […]

There’s lazy, there’s lackadaisical, there’s uninspired, and then there’s whatever the Brooklyn Nets put out on the court Saturday against the Indiana Pacers. The Nets put forth as disappointing an effort as you could imagine in a 125-116 loss to a Pacers team on the back end of a back-to-back without Myles Turner. Brooklyn’s non-existent […]

Steve Nash and Jason Kidd battled for years as the league’s top point guards in the early 2000s.

The Brooklyn Nets are now staring down a very disappointing 1-3 record to start the season after suffering yet another loss on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ben Simmons had another forgettable evening for his new team, which might be attributed to the back injury he sustained during the matchup. After the game, Simmons revealed […]

The Brooklyn Nets were thought to be adding a skill set unlike any in franchise history when they traded for Ben Simmons. The 6-foot-11 point guard’s playmaking and scheme versatility were lauded as keys to the team’s new-look offense. The Nets have not seen those results through four games. A loss in Milwaukee Wednesday dropped […]

The Brooklyn Nets fell to 1-3 on the season after they were defeated by the Milwaukee Bucks, 99-110, in a heated affair that saw Steve Nash get ejected for the first time in his brief coaching career.

Steve Nash got his first ejection as an NBA head coach on Wednesday night after going off at the referees, but Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant wasn’t surprised by his coach’s animated reaction.

Within just 24 hours, we have already seen two notable ejections in the NBA. The first one happened Tuesday night when Klay Thomspon was sent to the showers after a verbal spat with Devin Booker in the Golden State Warriors’ loss on the road to the Phoenix Suns. And then just this Wednesday evening,  Brooklyn […]

Steve Nash has never been known as an angry guy, but boy did we see that side from the Brooklyn Nets head coach Wednesday night. Nash was nearly unrecognizable when he went after NBA officials and had to be restrained by fellow Nets coaches and his players apparently over a non-call in the third quarter […]

The Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks are locked in a tight battle in the Badger State. Midway through the third quarter, with the Nets holding a 70-66 lead, Patty Mills attempted to draw a charge from Giannis Antetokounmpo. Instead, he was called for a blocking foul. Clearly, Nets coach Steve Nash disagreed. Steve Nash was […]

Ben Simmons hasn’t had that great of a start to his Brooklyn Nets career, but Nets head coach Steve Nash believes he knows how to fix that. According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Steve Nash wants to see Simmons start playing with joy in his game. Steve Nash said he's told Ben […]

The Brooklyn Nets have another significant reinforcement on the way. Nets head coach Steve Nash said Seth Curry is “probably a couple more practices” away from making his season debut. Curry missed the season opener and all four of Brooklyn’s preseason games while recovering from offseason ankle surgery. The 32-year-old came to the Nets as […]

23 minutes. That’s all it took for Ben Simmons to foul out in what turned out to be a rather lackluster Brooklyn Nets debut for the highly controversial point guard. Simmons failed to make a significant impact in his first game for his new team, which also played a part in Brooklyn’s blowout loss to […]

Several Brooklyn Nets players spoke throughout training camp about shedding the team’s “soft” reputation from last season. But “soft” was an accurate description of the Nets in their season opener Wednesday night. The Nets were manhandled by the New Orleans Pelicans 130-108 before a home crowd of 18,000. Brooklyn lost the rebounding battle 61-39 and […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving said at Media Day that he didn’t appreciate the “stigma” surrounding him as a player following a controversial 2021-22 season.

Ben Simmons is expected to make a significant impact on the Brooklyn Nets this coming season. However, after being forced to sit out the entire 2021-22 season due to injury, even Nets head coach Steve Nash is keeping his expectations in check — at least in the interim. Coach Nash recently revealed that the Nets […]

The Brooklyn Nets are dealing with several injuries ahead of their home opener on Oct 19th.

Harris played just 14 games last season before undergoing a pair of surgeries on an injured ankle. The […]

The Brooklyn Nets were blown out in both of their preseason games to open the 2022-23 season. While the games are exhibitions, Kyrie Irving said Brooklyn is not taking the preseason for granted, and the seven-time All-Star emphasized one critical area that the team needs to improve. “I think the low-hanging fruit that we could […]

Steve Nash called Igor Kokoskov “an offensive encyclopedia” early in training camp. The Brooklyn Nets hired the assistant coach this summer to lead an offensive overhaul with the arrival of point guard Ben Simmons. Kokoskov has coached in the league for over 20 years, spending four seasons with Nash with the Phoenix Suns from 2008-12 […]

Ben Simmons comes into the 2022-23 season as the new piece that can put the Brooklyn Nets back into title contention. The 6’11” point guard possesses a skillset unlike any other player in Nets franchise history. Coming off a disappointing 2021-22 season, head coach Steve Nash was highly complimentary of the three-time All-Star’s versatility Tuesday […]

Amid all the drama the Brooklyn Nets have been through this summer, it’s almost easy to overlook the fact that this team has one of the most talented groups in the entire league. Now that the Nets have had their first taste of practice in training camp, head coach Steve Nash is confident that his […]

So much has been made about Ben Simmons shooting, or rather, the lack thereof. If you ask Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash, however, he could care less about this particular aspect of Simmons’ game.

Markieff Morris wasted no time voicing his opinion on Kevin Durant’s trade saga at Day 1 of Brooklyn Nets training camp. “That’s the NBA man, you break up with a girlfriend, you get back with her,” Morris said Tuesday. “Same s–t. You air your differences until you figure it out.” When asked if that approach […]

Former NBA big man Olden Polynice recently made headlines after he stoked the fire on a narrative about Kyrie Irving supposedly disrespecting Steve Nash in his own home.

Kevin Durant shocked the basketball world earlier this summer when he demanded that Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks be relieved from their respective posts.
