by Elizabeth Swinton June 30, 2019 Comments

All-Star free agents Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving both agreed to four-year deals with Brooklyn on Sunday, as first reported by Adrian […]

Happy Birthday, Brook!

by Jacob Gruber April 1, 2019 Comments

Happy birthday, Brook! An all-time fan favorite, Brook Lopez celebrates his 31st birthday today. His nine seasons with the Nets and Lopez had no shortage of memories — both on and off the court. On the court, the 2008 tenth overall pick was always having fun. Lopez lived for the moment. His play was indistinguishable […]

Shifts in Eastern Conference can help Brooklyn Nets exceed expectations

by Sandy Mui August 29, 2017 Comments

The Brooklyn Nets are used to being underdogs. Drastically low expectations have become the norm surrounding the Nets ever since the futile Kevin Garnett-Paul Pierce “super team” experiment left the team bereft of draft picks. It doesn’t help that Brooklyn finished in last place last season, though as I’ve noted on numerous occasions, the team […]

2017 was a Nets audition and opportunity for McDaniels and Goodwin

by Charles Maniego May 16, 2017 Comments

The two newest Nets, K.J. McDaniels and Archie Goodwin, used the second half of 2017 as an audition – an open letter to Sean Marks and all of the NBA’s General Managers. The two were the 20th and 21st players to wear a Nets uniform this season. As General Manager Sean Marks stated last summer, […]

Former Net Joe Johnson has the Clippers on the brink

by Justis Doucet April 27, 2017 Comments

Joe Johnson has taken advantage of his playoff time in Utah and, for some reason, it’s come to surprise most NBA fans. Across the country, fans couldn’t believe their eyes when Johnson single-handedly carried the Jazz through some important playoff moments, asking if Joe had always been this clutch. Well, in fact, Nets fans have […]

Patience is Paramount: Revisiting Billy King’s first year with the Nets

by Charles Maniego February 22, 2017 Comments

Patience is Paramount: Revisiting Billy King’s first year with the Nets Sean Marks recently celebrated his one-year (and a day) anniversary of becoming the Brooklyn Nets’ general manager. In his first year, to say the least, the Nets have struggled mightily. Marks made bold offseason moves, some of which have panned out, and some that […]

Sean Marks: The First 367 Days

Sean Marks: The First 367 Days Almost one year ago today — February 18th, 2016 — Sean Marks was hired as the Brooklyn Nets’ next general manager. With the Nets, Marks inherited a franchise with possibly the bleakest future in the entire NBA, suffering a draining of assets rarely seen in professional sports. With no […]

Analyzing the Nets’ Offensive Woes

by Charles Maniego January 31, 2017 Comments

Analyzing the Nets’ Offensive Woes Previously, I deconstructed Kenny Atkinson’s offensive system and influences in his first season as the Brooklyn Nets’ head coach. When it’s run successfully, it’s a system that gets everyone involved and works for open looks from the perimeter and easy buckets at the rim. The Atlanta Hawks, under Mike Budenholzer, have […]

The Importance of Keeping Things in Perspective

by Benny Nadeau January 15, 2017 Comments

The Importance of Keeping Things in Perspective It’s January 15th, 2017, the Brooklyn Nets are 8-31, and Jeremy Lin has played in just 12 games this season. The Nets are behind the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference but they don’t have the distinction of rolling through the next decade with Ben Simmons and Joel […]

Joe Johnson returns to Brooklyn, will receive video tribute tonight

by Jerry Kane January 2, 2017 Comments

1. Joe Johnson (3 seasons, 231 games) Joe Johnson has been close to very good, and for the Brooklyn Nets, that’s enough to be the best. Throughout injuries and moping and 141 wins and low-impact playoff runs and four coaches and general disappointment, Joe has been the main reason that it’s not that bad here. While his stats have been as pedestrian as his name­—15.5 points on 43% shooting, 3.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.7 steals per game—he has been the closest thing to a superstar the Brooklyn Nets have had for the most cumulative minutes. Deron Williams had a few games, Brook Lopez had a few games, Paul Pierce had his moments, Andray Blatche a few quarters. But Joe Johnson looked the part more often than anyone else. He was the most important player in the Brooklyn Nets' only playoff series win to date, where he beat up on Toronto's young wings like an older brother dominating pool basketball on a summer afternoon. He had the stretch of games in January 2014, starting with the OKC nail-biter that kickstarted Jason Kidd’s redemption run and prevented that second season from becoming too much of a disaster. In general, preventing the Nets from completely falling off has been Joe Jesus' main role. And for the most part, he's succeeded. The Brooklyn Nets are the Large Hadron Collider. I’m not sure what their purpose is, but the people involved claim they are important, and catastrophe always seems imminent. But Joe has been standing by, making sure every decimal point is in the right spot and everyone is wearing their safety goggles. Joe also hit a bunch of clutch shots after arriving in Brooklyn, cementing himself as the guy who kept getting the ball at the end of games. This is surely an anachronistic way to measure achievement (and a fairly nihilistic long-term strategy on the court), but it also says something positive about how the team has perceived Joe's talent and nerves. The guy who keeps getting asked to take the most important shots at the end of games is some sort of superlative, whatever that may be. While not the most advanced way of thinking, this gives Joe some "I know it when I see it" level of superstardom. And with the Brooklyn Nets' lack of actual superstardom, degrees matter. Spiritually, Joe Johnson has been the Nets true mascot—even before the Nets shipped the BrooklyKnight off to the big practice gymnasium in the sky. Coming to the Nets, Joe was couched in a stratospheric contract, six All-Star appearances and the promise of being the second half of a blue chip backcourt. This pedigree positioned him as a gaudy piece of Brooklyn's business model, but Joe ain’t gaudy. Despite his garish contract and any brash claims made by the Nets, Joe has been nothing but an efficient, consistent, blue-collar employee of the Brooklyn franchise. And this has been enough to make him the best player in Brooklyn franchise history. -Andrew Gnerre
