When the basketball leaves Yuri Collins’ hand, it looks like it’s been given instructions ahead of time. It flies down the court like it has somewhere to be.

After a brief break, we’re back. The Brooklyn Nets have been off for the past few days after beating the New Orleans Pelicans at home on December 6th. The opponent tonight is in a new era, in more ways than one. It’s been… a year for the Dallas Mavericks, but maybe things are starting to […]
Even if all eyes are on Brooklyn — Nolan Traore is making strides with Long Island, so many in fact that the 19-year-old Frenchmen’s next home game will be at Barclays Center, not Nassau Coliseum. After a strong two weeks with the Nets G League affiliate, Traore was called up Thursday just as the Nets […]
The Long Island Nets tipped off at 11:00 a.m. ET in front of 5,700 fans for “Education Day,” traditionally their biggest crowd of the season.

Liddell, the Long Island Nets defeated the Delaware Blue Coats in a thriller, 137-134 at Chase Fieldhouse in Wilmington. Traore’s development took a big step forward in this one, as he continued his strong play for Long Island […]
Sometimes the best reminder that you are not sinking is watching someone else tread water. Saturday’s 119-101 win over the New Orleans Pelicans served as a reminder for Nets fans that, as rough as things have looked at times this season, things can always be worse. You could be New Orleans Pelicans fans. With both […]
The Nets would’ve won a third straight… if there were only three quarters. They fell to the Utah Jazz in the second night of a back-to-back. Now, they’re up against the struggling Pelicans — who don’t have their own pick this year. So, don’t be fooled. It isn’t supposed to be a tankfest. KEY INFO […]

It was the Nets’ fifth game in seven days, and it showed. The opponent tonight has been mired in a deep slump. […]
On the back of Nolan Traore’s best G League performance and a dominant debut from Brooklyn’s two-way, EJ Liddell, the Long Island Nets defeated the Delaware Blue Coats Friday night in Wilmington, 125-106.

Back in his first rebuild, Sean Marks found a couple of diamonds in the rough, guys like Spencer Dinwiddie and Joe Harris, made a few smart draft picks after a few smart trades. Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen and Nic Claxton stand out. And he along with Kenny Atkinson rehabilitated one NBA player who had fallen […]

Tune into a Brooklyn game at any point […]
The Nets might not be a good team, but they’ve looked better after every game and even won two in a row this past week. Brooklyn looks like that gritty, smart squad that might just spoil another tank. So, where does Cam Thomas, MPJ, and maybe even Giannis Antetokounmpo fit into all that? Sharif Phillips-Keaton […]
The NBA season is a slog. 82 games is a lot of basketball and there are plenty of dips along the way. To make things tougher, a five games in seven days stretch puts even more strain on your body and mind. It takes a lot to win under those circumstances, and if you start […]

At the moment, deep in a tank, the Brooklyn Nets do not look like someplace that Giannis Antetokounmpo would be interested in. He wants to win and win now and the Nets roster does not scream (or even whisper) contender. The rookies look good. Noah Clowney’s success no longer should be considered a small sample […]
The Brooklyn Nets are on a winning streak. I know we’re barely making quota for a statement like that, but who knows how often we’ll get to say it this year. Let’s all just soak it in. They’ll eventually make up for it (and then some), but our boys took their time getting started offensively […]
First home win of the year. Sigh (Tsai?) of relief. The Nets go for two when they play host to the Bulls, the first of a back-to-back for Brooklyn. Chicago started off hot but they’ve lost four straight entering tonight. We’ll see if the good vibes remain in Kings County. KEY INFO THE GAME “Josh […]
