Latest news and updates about the Nets
The Brooklyn Nets made an early entry into the offseason. We knew it would be this way for several weeks, but it’s still a bit striking to see a bushel of teams duking it out on national television every night, and our guys cosplaying as Arthur Morgan or sitting court side with Ice Spice. Yes, […]
It’s that time of year again for us: time to update things just as we’ve done for 19 straight seasons. We aren’t going to count them up, but this is around our 400th report through thick (mostly) and thin. Like many previous ones, it will be numbers-heavy. Deal with it. This year, off-course, is different. […]
Barclays Center is going to look different next season, starting from the moment you walk in the door. Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment this week offered new details on the continuing renovation of Barclays Center, a $150 million project that began two years ago with the creation of two new clubs, the Toki Row and Jet […]
In June 2024, the Nets traded Mikal Bridges for five firsts, four unprotected,, a first swap etc. He was supposed to be key piece for the Knicks in a championship run. He scored 0 points in a big post-season loss Thursday night. His team is now down 2-1 in the East. In June 2025, the […]
Shout-out Mike Brown for losing Game 3 by one point, going four-against-five for the whole first half. Shout-out Mikal Bridges, for helping folks forget about him and teaching the world that basketball was meant to be a four-player sport. Here’s the latest from the ATL. Mike Brown On the Game 3 loss and the series […]
Sean Marks may have been the GM of the Brooklyn Nets for a decade, but his roots lie elsewhere. The native of Auckland, New Zealand, is part of the first generation of international NBA players, as he said among the first 40 or 50. He became the first player from his home country to play […]
Game two’s loss on Monday night was a messy amalgamation of inexplicable coaching decisions, selfish play, bad and bad shot-making from both the three-point line and the free-throw line, and it led to one of the most frustrating losses of the season. So what are the biggest takeaways from a loss that I’m sure everybody […]
In a move extraordinary and likely unprecedented in NBA history, the Brooklyn Nets announced Monday that the franchise has extended head coach Jordi Fernandez and nine assistant coaches. The Nets staff is among the largest if not the largest in the league. “Jordi is a tremendous leader who, along with his coaching staff, put his […]
Game ones of a playoff series often show us how teams want to defend, attack, and use their strengths and weaknesses. They are also just the first step in a complex and sometimes long process that is followed up with adjustments and tweaks. Regardless, the opening game tends to give us a good idea of […]
The tank is done. This year was rough, as advertised. Now, let’s give it a proper goodbye. C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News joins the show to help us give out player grades and take a final look back on the Brooklyn Nets 2025-26 campaign. In this episode of The Brooklyn with Pooch & […]
Ask a Brooklyn Nets executive about the team’s tank — excuse us, “playing the possibilities” — and they will explain that the key to getting that top three lottery seed is not so much about the head coach making bad in-game moves, but depriving the head coach of the talent he needs to win before […]
With the NBA Draft Lottery about three weeks away, fans are talking about two big mysteries: where the team will pick on May 10 and who will rep Brooklyn on the dias in Chicago that night. Last year, when the Nets dropped from the sixth seed to the eighth, it was Jordi Fernandez, the head […]
If there’s one thing all NBA fans love more than tanking, it has to be numbers and math, right? A few years ago, our old pal Kevin Durant rhetorically (and rather vulgarly) questioned if anyone wants to “look at graphs” while having a conversation about hoops. It’s since become something of a rallying cry for […]
As Lucas Kaplan had put it to you yesterday, the Brooklyn Nets hosted an official end of the season private press conference on Monday to share the takeaways everyone gathered from this season. Despite the traditional setting of the atmosphere with members of the organization on the dias and various journalists sitting in seats waiting […]
I have found one more positive of a tanking season. The Brooklyn Nets hosted exit interviews on Monday morning, but thanks to the players that had already bid farewell to the season (largely due to season-ending injuries), the festivities at HSS Training Center lasted only a couple hours instead of the the usual marathon. General […]
The Brooklyn Nets have officially drawn their cards. With they and the Indiana Pacers ending their regular seasons this evening, they’ve locked in their position for the 2026 NBA Draft lottery. Out-tanked this year by only the Pacers and the Washington Wizards, the Nets will have the third best odds to land a higher pick […]
One last game in the regular season for the Raptors, and it was to secure their place in the playoffs — without having to endure the play-in tournament. Pretty big stakes for a Toronto team that could use a week off to rest a few injuries. Luckily, they were playing the already-eliminated Brooklyn Nets on […]
Nic Claxton gives a good interview; you just have to ask the right questions. He isn’t as boisterous as Day’Ron Sharpe or as chatty as Egor Dëmin, but he is quite honest, particularly given the constraints of player-reporter Q&A, where honesty only benefits one side. He wondered aloud, “Maybe I need to talk to a […]
The End… almost. Final game of the year and the Nets already secured a bottom-3 position. The stress of the people rooting for losses — and those rooting for wins — is no more. The attention, after this bout with Toronto, can officially shift to May 10. It’s still a lottery but the odds are […]
And here we are, at the end of the road. This season had it’s highs, and then it had its lows …. a lot of them. A lot of people will probably say that the lows outweighed the good, which is a fair thing to say. What I can say is that this year was […]
The Toronto Raptors will play their final game of the 2025-26 NBA regular season at home against the Brooklyn Nets after receiving a thrashing from the New York Knicks on Friday. It’s fitting that a matchup with Brooklyn is how this team finishes off this season, characterized by the end of the rebuild begun two […]
Cormac Ryan electrified the crowd in the opening minutes of his first ever start, and AJ Green later brought the house down with an all-time display of marksmanship, leading to an emphatic 125-108 win by the Milwaukee Bucks over the Brooklyn Nets. Read our full summary of the game here and catch a six-minute audio […]
With the Brooklyn Nets season coming to an end, the focus remained where it’s been for weeks, months, maybe even years on Friday night… the tank. And with some help from the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings, the Nets clinched the third seed in the May 10 Draft Lottery. There is even a chance Brooklyn […]
The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Brooklyn Nets to give fans a cathartic finale in what has been a forgettable season. In the final home game at Fiserv Forum, the Bucks played with purpose and poise, displaying admirable ball movement on offense and great discipline on D. AJ Green paced the Bucks with 35 points, with […]
The season ended Sunday in Toronto with another loss to the Raptors. And after a series of unlikely events Friday night, the Nets will finish with no less than the league’s third worst record, giving them a 52.1% chance of a top four pick, 40% of a top three pick and 14.0% of the overall […]
