It’s “must lose” stretch for the Nets. They want to get the best odds in May 10 lottery, maybe even secure that last envelope Mark Tatum, the NBA’s deputy commissioner, opens that night. At the moment, they are so close to success, sitting alone in second, one game behind the Indiana Pacers. BUT… Per various […]
The Long Island Nets returned to their home court one more time for the regular season as they faced off with their old friend, Tyrese Martin, and the Delaware Blue Coats.

I was born and raised in Manhattan, just a couple years before the New Jersey Nets leapt directly from the basement to consecutive NBA Finals appearances. I remember Mikki Moore as my power forward, not Kenyon Martin, and I never experienced or felt particularly connected to the Jersey Pride dripping off the best Nets teams […]
Those of you who stayed up to watch our 17-win Nets play into the wee hours of the morning were rewarded with an entertaining bout, a touch of history, and somehow still, a lottery-friendly game result. Those of you who reading this in the morning, first off, no one is blaming you. Hanging with this […]
Late night Nets in Golden State! They have 17 wins to their name and most fans are really just holding out hope for May. Until then it’s just an excruciating wait game. Sure, we’ll miss it when it’s gone, but these late games mid-tank are a brutal reminder how meaningless these games are – or […]
The Long Island Nets returned to their home court on Tuesday night for their second-to-last home game of the season. They faced off with their crosstown rivals in a close game that turned very chippy at the end. Despite Hunter Cattoor and Dre Davis combining for nearly 50 points and tempers flaring late in the […]
The days all blend in to each other. The Brooklyn Nets continued their western road trip with a visit to Oregon to face the Portland Trailblazers. The Nets didn’t have much of anything for the play-in bound Blazers and lost by 35 points. The team’s current losing streak is at eight. And if you’re keeping […]
The Brooklyn Nets are giving Malachi Smith an extended look. After inking him to a 10-day contract on March 13, the Nets are renewing the combo guard’s 10-day deal, per Hoopshype’s Michael Scotto. After going undrafted out of Gonzaga in 2023, Smith bounced around the G League, spending time with the Trailblazers, Bucks, and Grizzlies […]

On March 9, the Social Justice Fund announced that in conjunction with The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) and the Renaissance Economic Development Corporation, they have created the new Elevating Business Loan Program.

Jordi Fernández was a big fan of the Brooklyn Nets’ performance against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday evening, a hard-fought game that resulted in a 126-122 Kings victory. The head coach described it as “very positive,” and it was easy to see why. Ben Saraf turned in a career-best performance as did Malachi Smith, Ziaire […]
The Nets lost (or won) depending on how you look at it against the Kings. We’re in the final stretch and guys are going down. Egor Demin is done for the year, Michael Porter Jr. is out at least 2-3 weeks, and Danny Wolf left the game with an ankle sprain. We’ll see what these […]
When the Nets traded Cam J0hnson for Michael Porter Jr. and the Denver Nuggets unprotected first rounder in 2032, there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth. Renting of garments. The whole biblical megilla. No excess verbiage was squandered. It was b-a-d, double-bad, bad. Who can forget Bill Simmons? He seemed actually angered by the […]
While it isn’t ideal to want your team to lose, the Nets kind of did what they were supposed to last night against the Sacramento Kings. After a back and forth outing at the Golden 1 Center, Brooklyn lost 126-122, which means they are now one and a half games ahead of the Kings and […]
For the Long Island Nets, not much is going right at this moment. With the Brooklyn Nets having the three two-ways, Malachi Smith and the remaining Flatbush 4, Long Island has been left with slim pickings and a four-game losing streak. However, a stroke of luck did favor them Sunday evening. Despite coming up just […]
Today is one of the biggest days of the season for the Brooklyn Nets for the lamest of reasons. As the regular season inches closer to its conclusion, all moves made in the “tank race” fall under increased magnification. With Brooklyn facing the Sacramento Kings, who sat just a half game behind Brooklyn entering tonight’s […]
While all eyes are likely on Darryn Peterson headlining against St. John’s, the Nets are quietly playing the most important game of the season strictly because of lottery odds. Sacramento won two in a row and suddenly they have a game on Brooklyn. Tonight can change all of that. We have a thread dedication to […]
Almost got it. The Brooklyn Nets gave the New York Knicks all they could handle, but ultimately fell short by one point, 93-92. The losing streak is up to six. The opponent tonight is praying for some lottery luck. The Sacramento Kings have had a rough season but hope things turn around in the NBA […]
The 17-win Nets are up against the 18-win Kings in the ultimate tank-fest at 6 PM ET, which makes today’s games all that much more exciting. Sacramento is one game ahead of Brooklyn in the standings, so if the Nets pull this one out then they’ll be tied for the third-best odds at the No. […]
Welcome to The Long Forecast on NetsDaily. March Madness is here, but for the Nets, their focus remains on draft position while everyone and their mother is locked in on their brackets. With the season winding down, every game plays an integral role in the Nets’ draft position and where they will pick in a […]
The Brooklyn Nets were so thoroughly “embarrassed” last time out (Jordi Fernández’s word, not mine) that the loss didn’t reflect just their own shortcomings, but for many, a spiritual rot at the center of the NBA. Brooklyn scored just 24 points in the first half against the Oklahoma City Thunder’s historic defense, not just a […]
Wednesday’s loss to OKC was brutal. No other way to put it. They scored only 24 points in the first half, the lowest total since 2018. Afterward, Jordi Fernandez didn’t dodge it, saying the team just didn’t have the “readiness to play.” They need to have that readiness Friday. Even if they lose, this one […]
Yesterday was a dream if you know anything about college basketball … or the upcoming NBA Draft. A.J. Dybansta dropped 35 and 10 (despite the loss), Cameron Boozer had 22 and 13 (despite the tight win), Darius Acuff Jr. did Darius Acuff Jr. like things. It was great and with the Nets have a lottery […]
The Long Island Nets returned to their home court of the Nassau Coliseum to face off with the Maine Celtics for their big “Nothin’ But Nets” night, honoring their affiliation with the Brooklyn Nets. There was no Brooklyn presence outside of the Brooklynettes and Team Hype and even with Javon Freeman-Liberty’s impressive showing, Terry Roberts […]
Ziaire Williams is a generally optimistic guy. Always a smile and positive vibes. Earlier this week, speaking to NetsDaily at a Special Olympics event at the Brooklyn Basketball Training Center, the 24-year-old was asked about the Nets future. “We have something very special brewing here in Brooklyn. A year or two from now we’ll be […]
