The Cleveland Cavaliers did enough to defeat the Brooklyn Nets 106-102, but it was far from a perfect game. Let’s get into why. First, the Cavs struggled to keep control of the ball. They turned it over 17 times, which accounted for 17.9% of their offensive possessions (21st percentile). That would be concerning on its […]

It’s one thing when multiple key players are in street clothes. I […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Brooklyn Nets 106-102. It shouldn’t have been this close, but a win is a win. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. James Harden 22 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 turnovers Harden will be playing through a broken finger on his non-dominant hand for the […]
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 […]

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.

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 have now lost six straight games after a 16-point loss vs. San Antonio Spurs.

The Celtics are surprising the world yet again and […]
