The current situation for Nets’ superstar Kyrie Irving is that while he’s unvaccinated he isn’t currently available to play in Brooklyn. That’s not the Nets decision, that’s a New York decision. Because of that, the Nets Brass put their head’s together and decided Irving would not be allowed to appear in road games either; the […]

There have been several unpleasant surprises for the Brooklyn Nets (4-3) since training camp.

Then we learned that James Harden was missing […]

Kevin Durant, James Harden and the Nets (4-3) squad will look to make it three in a row when they host the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday. The Nets may have been a couple of inches away from hosting Atlanta in the Eastern Conference Finals last season. As it played out, the Dirty Birds made it one […]

The Phoenix Suns pulled off a tremendous comeback win on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans, 112-100. For his part, it was a truly historic evening for the point god himself, Chris Paul. CP3 just passed another Suns legend in Steve Nash for the No. 3 spot on the NBA’s all-time assists list. The Suns […]

It may not have impacted the final box score much, but during the Nets’ (4-3) 117-91 win over the Detroit Pistons, Kevin Durant was ejected for throwing an elbow at forward Kelly Olynyk. KD still finished with 23 points, 5 assists, on a blistering hot 10-13 from the field. The Nets were in control pretty […]

James Harden hasn’t looked like himself through the first two weeks of the regular season. The Brooklyn Nets star has been put under the spotlight amid the league’s new rule changes on drawing fouls. The struggles go beyond just losing his bread and butter foul baiting tactics. Through the first six Nets contests, James Harden […]

At 3-3 to begin the regular season, we’ve already learned a few things about the Brooklyn Nets. But rather than react, it’s always more fun to overreact.  We brought you our 5 overreactions following the Nets home opener. Let’s see how much has changed after the subsequent five contests. An interesting element of the Nets’ […]

The Brooklyn Nets (2-3) are getting set to take on the struggling (1-4) Indiana Pacers. Kevin Durant and James Harden will try to capture a bounce-back win after Wednesday’s 106-93 loss to the Heat.

Steve Nash has made no secret that this is an experimental time for his team. The Brooklyn Nets fell to the Miami Heat on Wednesday, 106-93. Brooklyn is now 2-3, having lost twice at The Clays. Steve Nash, Kevin Durant, and Co are looking for any spark rotational standpoint. “We lost a big piece. It’s […]

Some history was made in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Nets hosted the Miami Heat with one of their key starters on the precipice of team history. Joe Harris entered the game just two triples shy from tying Jason Kidd’s franchise leading record for 3s made. The eight-year veteran out of Virginia was three makes shy of […]

If you drafted Kevin Durant on your fantasy squad this season, or you happen to have tickets to a Brooklyn Nets game on the second night of a back-to-back, there’s some potentially exciting news. It sounds like the team is more comfortable this season playing KD on consecutive nights, something it was hesitant to do […]

We’re only four games into the 2021-22 season, but Brooklyn Nets star James Harden is not playing up to the lofty standards the perennial MVP candidate has set for himself over the years. Maybe we should not be surprised. While many of us (understandably) focused on the Kyrie Irving vaccination situation, or the potential max […]

Steve Nash knows James Harden is not yet at 100 percent after spending the summer recovering from his hamstring injury. For the Brooklyn Nets coach, however, this shouldn’t be a cause of concern. According to Nash, he sees Harden recapturing his form sooner rather than later. And what does this mean for the rest of […]

Kyrie Irving has said he does not want to become a distraction for the Brooklyn Nets this season. Well, whatever your point of view on the matter of vaccines and vaccine mandates in New York City, the Nets star has ultimately presented a distraction for his team. The team’s decision not to allow Irving to […]

The Brooklyn Nets and Kevin Durant hosted the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday in the team’s home opener without Kyrie Irving. The stars were out as Jay-Z sat alongside team co-owner Clara Tsai.

In commemoration of its 75th season, the NBA has released a list comprised of the 75 greatest players of all time. The Nets, to no one’s surprise, were heavily represented. The 75th-anniversary team was selected by a  “blue-ribbon panel of media, current and former players, coaches, general managers and team executives.” Kevin Durant, James Harden […]

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 Brooklyn Nets have a chance to earn a bounce-back victory in Philadelphia against the 76ers on Friday.

The 2021-22 season has started and Kyrie Irving’s absence looms over the entire Brooklyn Nets organization. There does not appear to be any resolution in sight, other than the current one, where Irving is essentially forbidden from joining his teammates. The team’s position is clear and could basically be summarized as such: you are free […]

Win no. 1 will have to wait for the Brooklyn Nets as they dropped their opening assignment against the Milwaukee Bucks, 127-104 on Tuesday at Fiserv Forum. After receiving their NBA championship rings before the game, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks capped off a historic night with a convincing win over the Nets, tagged by […]

Kyrie Irving had fans buzzing about his latest appearance on Instagram live.

The Nets have decided that Kyrie Irving as a part-time player is not something they’re interested in. The team made clear on Tuesday that because Irving is ineligible to play in home games, they won’t allow him to join the team for any games until his vaccination status changes. It’s a difficult decision, but ultimately […]

The Kyrie Irving situation came to a crossroads and the Nets decided to play hardball, deciding that he will not be able to play until he’s a full participant with the team. It has been quite the journey to this point. We first learned that the superstar would not be eligible to play basketball in Brooklyn […]

The Brooklyn Nets made a monumental decision to sit Kyrie Irving until he’s eligible to play in home games. This means he must either get the COVID-19 vaccine or New York City would have to lift the local vaccine mandate in order for him to play. Nets general manager Sean Marks said Tuesday that while […]

Life goes on for the Brooklyn Nets despite Kyrie Irving’s stubborn insistence on not getting the COVID-19 vaccine. He joined the the Nets in their first home practice but was forced to stay home on Monday as the team went on the road to face the Philadelphia 76ers in a preseason game. Reportedly, Irving not […]

Kyrie Irving is set to miss the Brooklyn Nets’ home games in 2021-22 due to New York’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

A loophole in New York City’s restrictions for unvaccinated employees cleared the way for Kyrie Irving to practice at the Brooklyn Nets’ facilities for the first time on Sunday.

As the drama continues to build with the NBA regular season approaching and no new word on Kyrie Irving and his vaccination stance, Brooklyn Nets head coach isn’t paying attention to it. Steve Nash on Kyrie Irving now potentially missing 45 games with the new vaccine mandate for indoor events in Los Angeles: “I’m not […]

There had been some optimism that Kyrie Irving would ultimately get his COVID-19 vaccine because of Kevin Durant, but now there’s increasing uncertainty over whether that will actually happen.

This isn’t your typical training camp update. If you’re following the New York Knicks, you know that Tom Thibodeau likes the chemistry Derrick Rose developed with his second unit so it sounds like he’s going to start Kemba Walker. That’s how many of these typical camp updates have sounded. You know, basketball stuff. Updates out […]

The Brooklyn Nets are currently the favorites to win it all next season. With their Big 3 of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving, there’s virtually no one that can stop the Nets… except for injuries. Harden, the team’s primary playmaker, was a shell of himself in the 2021 playoffs due to a hamstring […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets are as deep as any team in the Eastern Conference which is a product of their miraculous bargain-bin, void-filling NBA offseason. One of those signings fell through the cracks, however, and will have a profound impact on head coach Steve Nash’s rotation. That signing is point guard Patty Mills. […]
