Latest news and updates about the Nets
If there’s one thing all NBA fans love more than tanking, it has to be numbers and math, right? A few years ago, our old pal Kevin Durant rhetorically (and rather vulgarly) questioned if anyone wants to “look at graphs” while having a conversation about hoops. It’s since become something of a rallying cry for […]

I have found one more positive of a tanking season. The Brooklyn Nets hosted exit interviews on Monday morning, but thanks to the players that had already bid farewell to the season (largely due to season-ending injuries), the festivities at HSS Training Center lasted only a couple hours instead of the the usual marathon. General […]
The most anticipated yet anticlimactic Knick regular season in years concluded its preamble with a 110-96 loss to the Charlotte Hornets, though it didn’t feel like an L.

The Miami Heat’s play-in destiny has been signed, sealed and delivered for nearly one week.

But as a result of the Hornets’ 110-96 win over the New York Knicks, the […] The post Date, time revealed for Heat-Hornets play-in game appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Brooklyn Nets have officially drawn their cards. With they and the Indiana Pacers ending their regular seasons this evening, they’ve locked in their position for the 2026 NBA Draft lottery. Out-tanked this year by only the Pacers and the Washington Wizards, the Nets will have the third best odds to land a higher pick […]
One last game in the regular season for the Raptors, and it was to secure their place in the playoffs — without having to endure the play-in tournament. Pretty big stakes for a Toronto team that could use a week off to rest a few injuries. Luckily, they were playing the already-eliminated Brooklyn Nets on […]
Nic Claxton gives a good interview; you just have to ask the right questions. He isn’t as boisterous as Day’Ron Sharpe or as chatty as Egor Dëmin, but he is quite honest, particularly given the constraints of player-reporter Q&A, where honesty only benefits one side. He wondered aloud, “Maybe I need to talk to a […]
The Knicks (53*-28) close their regular season Sunday night at Madison Square Garden against the Hornets (43-38), with New York locked into the East’s No. 3 seed and Charlotte still battling for home-court advantage in the Play-In. The Knicks enter on a five-game winning streak, but have little to gain by exerting too much effort […]
The End… almost. Final game of the year and the Nets already secured a bottom-3 position. The stress of the people rooting for losses — and those rooting for wins — is no more. The attention, after this bout with Toronto, can officially shift to May 10. It’s still a lottery but the odds are […]

And here we are, at the end of the road. This season had it’s highs, and then it had its lows …. a lot of them. A lot of people will probably say that the lows outweighed the good, which is a fair thing to say. What I can say is that this year was […]
We have arrived. When the Knicks (53*-28) host the Hornets (43-38) tonight at Madison Square Garden, their regular season will draw to a close. What a season it has been. A success by most measures, for sure, yet disappointing at times. So like life. The obviousness of the Pistons and Celtics stealing the top two […]
The Toronto Raptors will play their final game of the 2025-26 NBA regular season at home against the Brooklyn Nets after receiving a thrashing from the New York Knicks on Friday.

With the Brooklyn Nets season coming to an end, the focus remained where it’s been for weeks, months, maybe even years on Friday night… the tank. And with some help from the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings, the Nets clinched the third seed in the May 10 Draft Lottery. There is even a chance Brooklyn […]
The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Brooklyn Nets to give fans a cathartic finale in what has been a forgettable season. In the final home game at Fiserv Forum, the Bucks played with purpose and poise, displaying admirable ball movement on offense and great discipline on D. AJ Green paced the Bucks with 35 points, with […]
There was a buzz around the Sixers after they took down the Charlotte Hornets a couple weeks ago. Paul George was back from suspension and looked spry. Joel Embiid had another hot start and came up with a huge block late. Tyrese Maxey came back sooner than expected from his right pinky tendon strain. Nick […]
The season ended Sunday in Toronto with another loss to the Raptors. And after a series of unlikely events Friday night, the Nets will finish with no less than the league’s third worst record, giving them a 52.1% chance of a top four pick, 40% of a top three pick and 14.0% of the overall […]
