Nets, Knicks split season series, but which franchise has the brighter future?
While the Brooklyn Nets may have managed a 2-2 series draw against the New York Knicks in 2015-2016 (capped off by their miserable fourth quarter last night), their cross-river rivals have won 10 more games than them this year. The Nets, following the dismissal of Deron Williams over the summer, were expected to take a step […]
J.J. Redick On The Flight That Kept Dwight Howard From The Nets
For about nine months in 2012, it seemed inevitable that Dwight Howard would team up with Deron Williams on the Brooklyn Nets. With dozens of trade packages, possibly illegal meetings, and various rumors of will-he-won’t-he, the “Dwightmare” finally came to an end (mostly) at the trade deadline in 2011, when Howard flip-flopped one last time, […]

Andrei Kirilenko to start vs. Magic
With Nets starting guard Shaun Livingston sidelined for the second straight game, the Nets will replace him with small forward Andrei Kirilenko in the starting lineup, moving Joe Johnson back to the shooting guard position and playing Kirilenko alongside Paul Pierce. The 6’9″, versatile Kirilenko may start off guarding Magic guard Arron Afflalo nonetheless, as […]

Call It PayBlatche: Nets 101, Magic 90 (GAME GRADES)
How would you grade the players? Jason Terry POINT GUARD I like Jason Terry. I thought Jason Terry could be a funnier C.J.

The two teams have […]
Is Joe Johnson an All-Star?
With the Brooklyn Nets slowly climbing towards .500, the team’s had a number of bright spots emerge. Shaun Livingston’s turned into a key cog with Deron Williams injured, Kevin Garnett’s defense has worked wonders at center, and Paul Pierce has done damage as the team’s small-ball power forward. But through it all, there’s one player […]
