Everyone knew — or should have known — that when the Brooklyn Nets drafted five players in the first round — at Nos. 8, 19, 22, 26 or 27 — back in June that development was going to be different. For one thing, no team had ever tried it before. For another, all but one […]
Kon Knueppel wasn’t thought of as a home run pick when the Charlotte Hornets selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. For whatever reason, there were questions about his ceiling and his ability to impact the game beyond his outside shooting despite plenty of evidence at Duke that he’s more […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled against their last two subpar opponents. The Chicago Bulls are better than the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets, but are still a team that, on paper, the Cavs should be able to handle. The offensive side of the ball let Cleveland down in their overtime loss to Charlotte. As has […]
The Mavericks were 1-1 this past week and now sit in 10th place in the West. They beat Brooklyn (119-111) at home on Friday before going to Utah and losing a heartbreaker to the Jazz (140-133). Cooper Flagg led the team in scoring during these two games with 32 points per game. Daniel Gafford (ankle) […]
Welcome to Week 3 of The Long Forecast on NetsDaily. As each week goes by, more tape on these prospects for the 2026 NBA draft class continues to surface, and they could go down as one of the most talented classes over the past decade. Where do the Nets’ picks sit? Since last week’s column, […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers had a chance to win late in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Charlotte Hornets. They were up three with 13 seconds left. The Hornets had a chance to tie the game with a late three-pointer on their final possession of regulation. The Cavs haven’t been in this position often this season. Last […]

A 127-82 disembowelment by the hapless Nets should cost at least one of the Bucks below their jobs, regardless of Giannis being out. And I’m not talking about any player.

Things aren’t going right for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Their season reached a new low on Sunday as they lost to the struggling Charlotte Hornets 119-111 in overtime. The fans are understandably getting restless. The effort isn’t there, the team isn’t making enough shots, and they aren’t living up to their expectations for this season. This […]
Even without Jordi Fernández, the Nets put up a high score in Big Buck Hunter tonight. Returning home for their second game of alternate programming to NBA Cup, Brooklyn secured their most dominant win of the season. Correction! Their most dominant win in franchise history! It was also the first career head coaching win for […]
Whatever good vibes came from the Milwaukee Bucks’ upset win on Thursday were summarily executed by the six-win Brooklyn Nets in embarrassing, ugly, and unforgivable fashion. Even without Giannis, a blowout to one of the East’s worst teams by record—not leading at any point—that’s missing Cam Thomas is inexcusable. No one Net had more than […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers once again fell behind by double-digits in the second half to a bad team. The Cavs fought hard to make it a game late, but you have to be perfect down the stretch to overcome a 17-point deficit. They did enough to send the game to overtime, but the offense stalled out […]
A good showing but not enough to bring it home. The Brooklyn Nets went to Texas for a showdown with the Dallas Mavericks. Brooklyn had a chance to win late, but the Mavs did just enough to hand the Nets a tough loss. The opponent tonight is trying to hang on. The season hasn’t gone […]
