Latest news and updates about the Nets
Kenny Atkinson promised pregame that the Brooklyn Nets would one day “break through.” “You’re just waiting for that, like ‘When is that gonna happen?’ And you look at it like, ‘Man, is it ever going to happen?’ I’m sure Jordi is going, ‘Man, everyone is saying it’ll happen,’” he said in answer to our Lucas […]
It wasn’t pretty by any stretch, but the Cleveland Cavaliers did enough to end their brief two-game losing streak. They defeated the Brooklyn Nets 106-102 thanks to strong performances from James Harden and Jarrett Allen. Cleveland got off to a good start. They exerted their sizeable talent advantage early on as they opened up an […]
Look at the cover photo and realize how quickly life comes at you. Kenny Atkinson coaching James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen for one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the rebuilding Nets have lost seven straight entering Sunday’s matinee affair. That’d be the worst in the Conference if not for Chicago’s […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to break their two-game skid as they head to New York to take on the Brooklyn Nets. I’ll be in the comments throughout the game sharing my thoughts. Feel free to join in on the conversation and let your voice be heard in the comments below. Go Cavs!
It was close, until it wasn’t. The Brooklyn Nets hung around for about a half, but the Boston Celtics separated themselves from the Nets and cruised to a 37 point win. The streak is now at seven losses in a row. The opponent tonight is climbing the charts in the Eastern Conference. The Cleveland Cavaliers […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to snap their two-game losing streak as they finish off their three-game road trip against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday afternoon. Cleveland has lost their last two games without the services of either Donovan Mitchell (groin) or James Harden (thumb). They will still be without Mitchell, but Harden could be […]
1. Dominant Shooting Display Coming off of Boston’s lowest scoring output of the season against the Denver Nuggets at only 84 points, the Celtics came back home to TD Garden and set a new season-high in points with 148 against the Brooklyn Nets. Boston did this with some historic shooting, going 52-78 (67%) from the […]
During Nikola Vučević’s Boston Celtics debut, both sides struggled. Three weeks ago marked the beginning of Vučević’s acclimation, and since then, his synergy has begun to take shape. It was a stark contrast on Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Vučević’s offensive instincts kicked in, and decisively; he wasn’t hesitant. He was constantly in motion, […]
When the Brooklyn Nets first played the Boston Celtics this season, I wrote about how both teams were at or near the same competitive skill level. After all, it was way back in late November and Boston was a mediocre 7-7. They sat just two spots ahead in of Brooklyn in the East, and were […]
The Nets had come into TD Garden losers of 6 in a row on Friday night, they left losers of 7 in a row. The Celtics beat the Nets in blowout fashion, 148-111 behind a big 28 point game from Jaylen Brown. Only Jayson Tatum missed this one for the Celtics. They started the group […]
The Nets have now lost six straight games after a 16-point loss vs. San Antonio Spurs. Given the circumstances — 15-43 record, second night of back-to-back, and a tough opponent in Boston — it’s hard for any Nets fan to feel confident heading into this one. The Celtics are surprising the world yet again and […]
A lot is going on in Long Island! Even before Friday morning’s moves that sent Grant Nelson to Brooklyn on a 10-day, returned Ben Saraf to the big club, and sent Drake Powell to the G League, the Nets’ G League affiliate lost a tight one, 119-116, to the Grand Rapids Gold Thursday night at […]
The party rolls on. The Brooklyn Nets hosted the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night at Barclays Center. The Nets put up a fight, but the Spurs were too much to handle and gave the Nets their sixth consecutive loss. The opponent tonight has a solid hold on the second seed in the Eastern Conference. […]
Coming off a comeback win against the Toronto Raptors, the Spurs traveled to the Barclays Center to take on the Brooklyn Nets. From the start of the game, the Spurs started hot and did not slow down. They outscored the Nets 36-22 in the first quarter, and led by as much as 22 in the […]
There’s something about the number 11. I was born on the 11th. I grew up with the German soccer novel “11 Freunde müsst ihr sein”. Later came “11 Freunde”, a wonderful monthly magazine about soccer culture. But if I’m being honest, my favorite association with the number 11 has nothing to do with soccer at […]
The Spurs extended their winning streak to 11 and secured a perfect record in February. They dominated from start to finish on their visit to Brooklyn, often playing amazing team ball, with seven players reaching double digits on their way to a 126-110 victory. After a disaster of a game at times in terms of […]
Victor Wembanyama steps out of the visitors’ locker room, hunches through the tunnel, and Barclays Center greets him with a shriek. A mass circles the east end of the court as the Alien starts to warm up. Rarely is a nickname — bland it may be — this fitting. Wemby clutches a basketball, balancing on […]
You know the Spurs have reached a new level from even a month ago when they can look tired and a step slow, and still blow out a bad team (remember, playing down to opponents used to be a thing of theirs). After a hard-fought, exhausting win in Toronto the night before, the Spurs avoided […]
The Dallas Mavericks (21-36) are home for the first time in a month and on Thursday night they host the Sacramento Kings (13-47). Dallas is staring at their least welcomed winstreak in years, defeating the Pacers then the Brookly Nets. The Kings actually beat the Grizzlies this week, which was their first win since one […]
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The Spurs are on a 10-game winning streak, and tonight they […]
The Nets have lost five straight. The Spurs have won 10 straight. The organization that Marks ascended from 10 years ago remains the gold standard. Let’s see what they (& Wemby) have in store for Thursday night. 🏀 KEY INFO WHO: Brooklyn Nets (15-42) vs. San Antonio Spurs (42-16)WHEN: 7:30 PM ETWHERE: Barclays CenterWATCH: YES Network 💬 DISCUSSION Share […]
More of the same. The Brooklyn Nets came home following a three game road trip to take on the Dallas Mavericks. Brooklyn lost their fifth game in a row as the Mavs came away with a 123-114 win. In the race that most everyone cares about, the Nets are third. Either way, these games will […]
The San Antonio Spurs will be on the second game of a back-to-back after a tough win against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. The Spurs needed a fourth-quarter comeback to take down Toronto, and will now be on short rest against the Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn and San Antonio’s records are almost exactly flipped: the […]
It’s been said that hindsight is 20/20. Is it? It likely depends on how far removed you are from what you’re trying to see. The past is a vacuous concept. Anything you do is in the past a milesecond later. Perhaps it’s most accurate to say that hindsight will eventually be 20/20. Is it time […]
Coming into Tuesday’s NBA slate, the Dallas Mavericks (21-36) sat seventh from the bottom of the league standings. Just the Utah Jazz (18-40), the Washington Wizards (16-40), the New Orleans Pelicans (16-42), the Brooklyn Nets (15-42), the Indiana Pacers (15-43) and the sad Sacramento Kings (13-46) entered play with worse records than the Mavericks. With […]
