Latest news and updates about the Nets
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and the Brooklyn Nets could use the time off. Tonight, they played their third game in four days, three cities, and two countries. That didn’t help them when they faced the New York Knicks, who’ve played just two in their last five days. Jordi Fernández would be the last […]
One thing the Toronto Raptors have proven during this winning stretch of basketball is the fact that this team has depth. That’s been tested during this four-game homestand, as they deal with wear and tear. Last night, it was Jakob Poeltl who sat out because of rest, but RJ Barrett left the game early due […]
The New York Knicks (9-6) head to Barclays Center to face the bumbling Brooklyn Nets (3-13). The Knicks need a rebound game after another road loss, and this promises to be just what the doctor ordered: the Nets are mired in a seven-game home losing streak and rank near the bottom in scoring (109.8 PPG) […]
Brooklyn continues its Atlantic Division Tour with a bout with the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. KEY INFO WHO: New York Knicks (9-6) at Brooklyn Nets (3-13) WHEN: 7:30 PM ET WATCH: YES Network INJURY REPORT No Cam Thomas, Ben Saraf, or Haywood Highsmith. Night two of a back-to-back so we’ll see if anyone else […]
Tonight, it’s a crosstown bash between the 9-6 New York Knicks and the 3-13 Brooklyn Nets. The five-game road trip technically continues for the Knicks, but it’ll happen tonight in familiar territory and against a far lower squad they should hope to make quick work of. The Knicks are fresh off the wrong end of […]
The Washington Wizards currently boast the NBA’s worst record at 1-15 after the Toronto Raptors blew them out by 30 points on Friday and they lost a close game to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Last Sunday, they got shellacked by the then-1-11 Brooklyn Nets. This slow start hasn’t been an outlier for them, either. […]
Couldn’t make it two. The Brooklyn Nets went to Canada to take on the red hot Toronto Raptors. Brooklyn fought hard, but Toronto was too much to handle as they pulled away late to extend their winning streak. The opponent tonight has grand expectations, but things have been pretty rocky as of late. The New […]
Sunday evening’s Toronto Raptors game had a few implications. It was the second game of a four-game homestand, the first night of a home back-to-back, and a chance for the Raptors to win their seventh game in a row. Even better for their chances was the fact that they were playing the 3-12 Brooklyn Nets, […]
Pesky tank competitors no more, the Toronto Raptors were still intent on annoying the Brooklyn Nets tonight in Scotiabank Arena. Toronto, with the Eastern Conference’s second-best record, were eager to reintroduce the Nets to their reshaped persona. While both teams already faced off this season, the Raptors didn’t have the buzz they had when they […]
Even the pro-tanking Nets fans can’t be that angry about beating the Celtics on Friday. That puts them at 3-12 on the season — fourth-worst record in the NBA. On Sunday, they’re up against the Toronto Raptors in the first game of a back-to-back and they have their hands full. The Raptors are off to […]
Best win of the season so far. The Brooklyn Nets went into Friday night’s NBA Cup matchup looking to get some payback against the Boston Celtics. They did that and plenty more as they came away with a 113-105 win. The opponent tonight is riding the third longest winning streak in the NBA right now. […]
The Toronto Raptors once again go toe-to-toe with the Brooklyn Nets, this time as the host. With the previous game only 12 days ago going in the Raptors favour, this could be an opportunity to extend their winning streak from 6 to 7. The last time the Raptors had 7 straight wins was Mar 3, […]
On the back of Nolan Traore, the Long Island Nets were able to get back on the winning track Saturday after three losses as Traore had a shining performance, giving Long Island the 128-113 victory and a 2-3 record. It’s no secret that Traore, the 19th pick in the NBA Draft, didn’t start the season […]
A member of the Nets family has passed away. On November 22, it was announced that former New Jersey Net and Wake Forest legend, Rodney Rogers, passed away at the age of 54. Although Rodney was only in New Jersey for two seasons, he was a critical part of the team that made it to […]

The poor Nets fans can't even enjoy a win. Some always want to beat the Celtics but others hate the Celtics but still want a loss to tank. It cracked me up how they were all trashing Clowny but then he does something good and they all love him. Too funny. That 5th foul on Jaylen was definitely not a good call and they even reviewed it. Another example about how the refs can be an x factor. These Celtics are definitely like a box of chocolates.&nb...
The Celtics had chances to take control in Brooklyn, but never found the consistency needed to steal the game from the Nets. Boston flashed moments of good process and stretches of tough defense, yet the middle quarters — and a late Michael Porter Jr. surge — proved too much to overcome. Still, there were plenty […]
Jaylen Brown wasted no time holding the Celtics’ feet to the fire on Friday night. Boston and Brooklyn met for the second time in as many games, this time on TD Garden’s lucky green NBA Cup parquet. But luck wasn’t on the Celtics’ side. The Nets erupted in the second quarter, outscoring Boston 40-25, setting […]
The Brooklyn Nets hoped a second crack at the Boston Celtics this week would be enough to get them their third win of the season tonight. It was enough for that, a career night for one vet, and some well sought-after rookie progress. Brooklyn began it with Egor Dëmin, Terance Mann, Michael Porter Jr., Noah […]
The Celtics came into Friday night’s NBA Cup game against the Brooklyn Nets with some swagger. They had won 3 in a row and looked like they were ready to turn a corner. Then the 2-win Nets came in and beat Boston 113-105 in a very frustrating loss. The Celtics were only missing Jayson Tatum […]
These games don’t have the juice they once did, but we’re long past that. We think. The Nets put up a good fight against the Celtics on Tuesday, but it wasn’t enough to finally nab their first home win (and first Cup win). They’re back up against the Celtics, this time in Boston, for another […]

Finally, the Celtics received reprieve this past week. A hectic start to the season has taken its toll, and the boys in green were rewarded with only two games over the past nine days. Strange games they were; first, playing a wayward Clippers team that no-shows like they’re paid to do it, and a Nets […]
