Live Game Thread: Brooklyn Nets vs. Portland Trail Blazers, 8:00 PM EST
Photo by Justin Ford/ We used to talk about the Brooklyn Nets “big three” - Kyrie Irving, James Harden and Kevin Durant - but maybe it’s time to talk about the big four: with Alize Johnson! Johnson went off on Thursday night, notching 20 points and 21 rebounds. OK, so maybe we don’t need to talk about a “big four,” but maybe we talk about the role Johnson can/should play in playoffs? Friday night the Nets take on the Blazers, on a second night of a back-to-back. Kyrie Irving is expected back, which will be nice. Portland has won two in a row, but just 3 of...

Details of Alize Johnson contract revealed
Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via When the Nets signed Alize Johnson on Sunday, details were limited. All the Nets said was that the 6’8” swingman had signed a “multi-year” deal.

Deadlines and Commitments - Stretch Run edition
Photo by Elsa/ The NBA stretch run is upon us. The Nets have 19 regular season games left and as everyone knows, the “Big Three” have only played seven games and 186 minutes together (six starts).

There are few deadlines related to the rest of the season, but NBA Draft and free agency isn’t that far off. There are two interesting dates in April: the WNBA Draft is Thursday and Joe Tsai’s Liberty have four...
