The 10 most fun Nets home games this season

by Jaymz Clements August 15, 2017 Comments

The full NBA schedule has been released, and while the Brooklyn Nets only have two nationally televised games, there’s still going to be plenty of fun to be had at Barclays Center… beyond watching D’Angelo Russell, Jeremy Lin, Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen and co. carrying the Nets into their next (hopefully fun) iteration. SO! How […]

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 […]

Report: John Calipari wants $120 million to run the Nets

by Devin Kharpertian January 11, 2016 Comments

With Lionel Hollins and Billy King out, the Nets may seek to fill two positions with one man: John Calipari. The mutual respect and adoration between Calipari and Nets CEO Brett Yormark is hardly a secret; the two spoke at length about their relationship with ESPN last month, while Hollins was still coaching the team.

Around the ‘Nets: my hands haven’t grown, either

by Devin Kharpertian December 3, 2015 Comments

Here’s the latest Nets news and notes from around the ‘Nets: The Nets aren’t surprised Deron Williams is thriving in Dallas. “Thriving” may be a bit strong, but he’s seen a slight uptick in his production since leaving Brooklyn. In the above, Lionel Hollins on Andrea Bargnani, out with a hamstring injury: “Why do you […]

Shane Larkin fires back at Phil Jackson’s “tiny hands” comment

by Devin Kharpertian September 28, 2015 Comments

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — After Phil Jackson criticized his hands, Shane Larkin responded by pointing his fingers. Earlier this summer, Jackson said to Charley Rosen that Larkin, who was under contract with the New York Knicks at the time, would likely not return on another contract. “Shane mainly wants to get his shot off a […]

Billy King takes swipe at Knicks — ahem, “local” — management

by Devin Kharpertian September 22, 2015 Comments

Andrea Bargnani Bargnani is a bit different from the three guys before him. Ellington, Larkin, and Robinson are all looking to find their NBA footing after things went south; at this point, Bargnani can only hope to prove his doubters wrong. He's still trying to find his NBA footing, but only after belief in his potential came, went, and then got pile-drived deep into the earth's core. There is not a single metric that justifies signing Andrea Bargnani to an NBA contract. He is a seven-foot center who does not defend or rebound at an NBA level. He is a stretch five that has hit well below the league average from three-point range in the last four seasons. It's hard to tell what's more laughable, his defensive rating (worst on last year's lowly Knicks), or the GIFs that show it. Bargnani has never lived up to his billing as a top overall pick in 2006, coming closest during a career-best season in 2010-11, when he averaged 21.5 points per game for the 22-60 Toronto Raptors. But if there's any silver lining here, it's this: Bargnani, who did not seem to enjoy rising to expectations, now has less expectations than ever. He's in Andray Blatche territory. Anything good he does will be a bonus. Anything else? Well, he's on a minimum deal, with no set rotation spot, and a few young guns (Robinson, Willie Reed, to name two) chomping at the bit for backup big minutes. He has the stability of a minor guaranteed contract and $72 million in career NBA earnings, but the pressure of needing to prove he belongs to stay on the floor. Is that enough? Well, probably not. Remember, we're talking about a player who posted the worst on-off court impact on the second-worst team in the NBA, who has struggled to stay healthy in recent years. But anything is possible... right?

The Nets & Knicks rivalry is about as fun as a doorstop these days, but that didn’t stop Nets GM Billy King from taking a dig at the Knicks front office Tuesday afternoon. Earlier this summer, an interview with Knicks president Phil Jackson was released in which Jackson critiqued his players and their performance. That […]

Phil Jackson: Shane Larkin has “tiny hands”, Andrea Bargnani is “a big tease”

by Devin Kharpertian August 10, 2015 Comments

Last season, Phil Jackson sat down with writer Charley Rosen for “The Phil Files,” a once-a-month conversation regarding the state of the Knicks. In the seventh installment, Jackson dished out final evaluations of his players, including two players who have since signed with the Nets: Shane Larkin and Andrea Bargnani. Not surprisingly, Jackson wasn’t bullish […]

Shane Larkin responds to Phil Jackson’s comments: “couldn’t grow in an offense I wasn’t comfortable in”

by Devin Kharpertian July 27, 2015 Comments

“Unfortunately, Shane hasn’t grown any since the start of the season.” Those are the words of Phil Jackson as told to Charley Rosen, regarding new Brooklyn Nets guard Shane Larkin after the beginning of last season. Though Jackson said he’d “stepped up” earlier in the year, he then referenced Larkin’s lack of development by the […]
