With the NBA Draft Lottery about three weeks away, fans are talking about two big mysteries: where the team will pick on May 10 and who will rep Brooklyn on the dias in Chicago that night. Last year, when the Nets dropped from the sixth seed to the eighth, it was Jordi Fernandez, the head […]

The New York Liberty are not stopping or even pausing in their quest to create a WNBA dynasty. After signing Satou Sabally, the three-time All-Star, they’ve made headlines almost daily with often innovative moves to bring on top talent from overseas … or keep players … or bring players back. On Wednesday, they did it […]

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 […]
It wasn’t the most consequential move they made in this uber-truncated offseason … far from it, but at Monday night’s WNBA Draft, the New York Liberty drafted Manuela Puoch with their only selection, the 11th pick of the third round, or No. 41 overall. Puoch, an Australian with South Sudanese heritage, is a 19-year-old forward […]
As Lucas Kaplan had put it to you yesterday, the Brooklyn Nets hosted an official end of the season private press conference on Monday to share the takeaways everyone gathered from this season. Despite the traditional setting of the atmosphere with members of the organization on the dias and various journalists sitting in seats waiting […]
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 […]
Every path to the NBA isn’t built the same. Some players lean on raw talent. Others have to grind for every opportunity. Brooklyn Nets two-way forward Chaney Johnson fits firmly in the latter group. Call it grit if you must. It would be a good description. Growing up in Alabaster, Alabama, a tough town south […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
In a stunner, the New York Liberty have shaken up the WNBA landscape … again. On April 11, Alexa Phillippou, Kendra Andrews, and Shams Charania reported that Satou Sabally is signing with the New York Liberty Sabally went on social media to confirm the news… The 6’4” 27-year-old joins a Liberty team that is reloading […]
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 […]
Game 81. No shortage of drama, except it’s quite backwards. The Nets (20-60) are only one game ahead of the Utah Jazz (21-59) and Sacramento Kings (21-59) for a chance at 14 percent odds at the No. 1 pick and 52.1 percent at a top-4 pick. It’s all a lottery and nothing is guaranteed, but […]
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 […]
Two more to go. The Brooklyn Nets wrapped up the home schedule on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers. They lost by a bunch but helped their draft cause. That’s a win. The opponent tonight has a lot on their plates. The Milwaukee Bucks are hoping to see a better tomorrow, but today is pretty […]
I arrived at the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush a bit earlier than usual this afternoon. With 15 minutes to spare before doors opened up, I sat down outside Fini Pizza and inhaled a pepperoni slice. I felt a clam breeze as the sun shined down on me through the oculus. I heard birds chirping […]

One more home game to go. The Brooklyn Nets will wrap up the home portion of the schedule tonight. They’ve won their last two games after beating the Milwaukee Bucks at Barclays Center on Tuesday evening. The opponent tonight is firmly looking ahead to the NBA Draft. The Indiana Pacers knew what the deal was […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo stood along the sidelines at Barclays Center Tuesday night, dressed in a cream-colored sweater to watch his Cream City Bucks lose to the Brooklyn Nets. It may very well be one of the last times he’ll represent Milwaukee in any form if the latest rumors are true. Those latest rumors, amplified by ESPN’s […]
E.J. Liddell rises up for a 3-pointer from the left wing, and he misfires wide right, perhaps a little long. Only, the ball bounces off the top of the glass and right back down toward the rim, swirling the net like a mini-golf ball on uneven artificial turf. It drops. Next time down, Liddell tests […]
It’s getting a little too close down the wire for those counting lottery odds. For those who aren’t, this game might not really matter much. The Bucks — who sidelined a healthy Giannis Antetokounmpo for the season — have lost seven out of the last 10. The worst part? The Nets face them again after […]
A win that everyone feels like a loss. The Brooklyn Nets hosted the Washington Wizards on Sunday afternoon. The team snapped their latest losing streak and came away with a 121-115 win. The opponent tonight is stuck with nowhere to go. It’s been a lost season for the Milwaukee Bucks and they’re desperately trying to […]
With WNBA free agency set to begin this week, teams have to act fast to be ready for the start of the regular season. Following the completion of CBA talks, this off-season will be fast and furious as a three month process of the Draft, free agency, etc. will need to be completed in less […]
The 27th pick and last first rounder chosen by the Nets in the 2025 Draft spoke to Brian Lewis about his progress this year. The 6’11”, 255-pound Yale and Michigan product was declared out of the season following a sprained ankle on March 22. As Lewis noted, Wolf had fallen in the draft due to […]
