With Lionel Hollins and Billy King out, the Nets may seek to fill two positions with one man: John Calipari.

Comments

AP

Consistency has become elusive for the Brooklyn Nets (7-17) lately after another lackluster performance against the Orlando Magic on Monday night. Done in by poor shooting (38.8 percent), sloppy play (17 turnovers), and non-existent defense (53.9 percent shooting from the Magic), the Nets inevitably fell 105-82 after being outscored 53-37 in the second half. On […]

The NBA Draft is usually the best day of the year. At least two trades happen every time that make you go “WHAAA?” and shake your head vigorously to get the cobwebs out. Some team trying to retain their free agent decides to draft a major player at his position, then explain why they’re doing […]

Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez may have played some of his best defense of the season last night, finishing with six blocks in the box score and pestering DeMarcus Cousins into an off night.

Comments

What a difference two days make. After an embarrassing loss to the Indiana Pacers Saturday night, the Brooklyn Nets (14-16) pulled out a bounce-back victory over the visiting Sacramento Kings (13-18) on Monday, winning 107-99. The Nets were led by Mason Plumlee, the most coveted piece in the recently rumored trade discussions between these two […]

VIDEO: Reggie Evans Benches Himself (Accidentally?), Tries To Cherry-Pick, Misses Wide Open Dunk

Comments

When the Kings fired coach Mike Malone last month, one report suggested owner Vivek Ranadive wanted Malone to try innovative approaches to the game, including a 4-on-5 cherry-pick defense. Looks like at least one Kings player — and interim coach Tyrone Corbin — is willing to give it a shot, though perhaps unintentionally. In the […]

After an embarrassing 25-point demolishment Saturday night at the hands of the Indiana Pacers, the worst offensive team in the NBA outside of the Philadelphia 76ers, the Brooklyn Nets (13-16) end a two-game homestand against the talented Sacramento Kings (13-17), whose record does not match their talent level.

As Nets Stumble, Healthy Brook Lopez Struggles To Pinpoint Problem

It’s gotta be the… well, he’s not quite sure.
