Watch Live: Brooklyn Nets at Boston Celtics, 7:30 PM EST on ESPN & YES Network
Photo by Maddie Meyer/ The Brooklyn Nets face a tough task in trying to take down the first place Celtics in Boston. The Brooklyn Nets have held it together over their current 2-game win streak thanks in large part to Kyrie Irving, but without Kevin Durant (and Ben Simmons) in the lineup they will have a tough task ahead of them trying to beat the Celtics in Boston. The Celtics are sitting atop the Eastern Conference, while the Nets try to climb their way closer to the top some 4.5 game behind them. Boston is a 19-6 at home this season and already 2-0 against the Nets...

Stein: ‘Nets under no pressure to move swiftly’ on Kyrie Irving extension
Photo by Sarah Stier/ Kyrie Irving is playing ... and playing well. At the top of his game actually. It’s more than his numbers. He is leading the Nets with Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons out and mentoring younger players on the roster. His clutch gene is on display every night, leading the NBA in fourth quarter points. Moreover, his last run-in with controversy seems to be in the past and his personal generosity is once again in the forefront. But as Marc Stein pointed out Monday, Irving is still unsigned beyond June 30. He’s operating on an expiring $36.9...

The Nets are coming off a much-needed win against the New York Knicks on Saturday and looking to keep the momentum going as the Los Angeles Lakers come into town for a back-to-back city series. The Lakers will be without both LeBron James and Anthony Davis who are load management-ing and (potentially?) holding out for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks. Fine by me. Meanwhile, the Nets will don’t have Kevin Durant back but they do have a healthy Kyrie Irving which...

Royce O’Neale goes from afterthought to fan favorite
Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Literally moments before news broke on June 30 that Kevin Durant had requested a trade (and that the Nets were willing to accommodate him!), Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted that the Nets had sent the worse of their two picks in the 2023 Draft to Utah for Royce O’Neale, a 6’7” 3-and-D candidate, using most of a trade exception generated by the James Harden trade. And (other than Brian Windhorst,) no one cared. KD was gone. Kyrie probably too. O’Neale, who went by the nickname Rolls, was a nice player and all that, but so what?...
