3 Takeaways from Brooklyn Nets Spirited Loss to Milwaukee Bucks

3 Takeaways from Brooklyn Nets Spirited Loss to Milwaukee Bucks

Nets getting close! Is that a good thing? Upsets, bracket chatter, and an onslaught of Capital One commercials featuring Charles Barkley and his buddies — it’s hard to think of a louder sporting event in existence than March Madness. With the NCAA dropping needle on the big dance yesterday, the college game seemed all but certain to drown out any noise conjured up by the lowly Brooklyn Nets, who tipped off game No. 70 just as Dayton completed its surreal 17-point comeback and Oakland started making Kentucky fans sweat. This time of year, there’s only so much basketball...

Long Island Nets blown out, but two-way Jaylen Martin scores 18

Long Island Nets blown out, but two-way Jaylen Martin scores 18

Photo by Evan Yu/NBAE via Jaylen Martin averaged 15 points a game for the Westchester Knicks before the Nets signed him at the deadline. He had his first big game for Long Island Thurday. With G League playoffs starting in less than two weeks, the Long Island Nets have lost three of their last four games, including a 29-point blowout to the at Nassau Coliseum Thursday night. With Noah Clowney in Brooklyn and two-way Keon Johnson unavailable, the Long Islanders had little scoring prowess and wound up shooting 42.1% overall and only 22.9% from deep. Three Nets who head...

Brooklyn Nets lose to Milwaukee Bucks 115-108, snag a moral victory

Photo by John Fisher/ The Nets couldn’t snag an actual win in Milwaukee, so we settle for a moral victory. (Hopefully it’s a little sweeter than kissing your sister.) One must imagine Sisyphus happy. That’s a little tougher to imagine if each of his rock-pushing attempts were televised to legions of dissatisfied fans who could to debate his decisions and fortitude after each unsuccessful attempt. You see where this is going. By no means are the Brooklyn Nets happy. Their frustration, their deflation during each loss is palpable, the same goes double for the...

NBA Live Discussion: Brooklyn Nets at Milwaukee Bucks, 8:00 PM ET

Photo by Adam Glanzman/ Let’s see how this one goes... The last time Brooklyn played Milwaukee, they sat a good amount of starters and then rested the few remaining for the rest of the game, despite leading in the third quarter. The team was later fined and the basketball Gods did their work — nothing has been the same since then. We’ll see how this one goes...

Brooklyn Nets vs. Milwaukee Bucks preview: Back on the road ... and on injury report

Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/ The Nets are back on the road, and the Bucks are the first opponent on this road trip. If you can’t muster energy when Big Ellie is in the building, you know things are dire. On Women’s Impact Night, the Brooklyn Nets honored their Barclays Center co-tenants, the New York Liberty. When the Libs play at the ‘clays during the summer, the building is lively, energetic, and everyone’s having a great time. The same can’t be said for the Nets these days. Brooklyn tried to muster some energy, but fell short once again, this time at the hands...

3 Takeaways from Brooklyn Nets feeble loss to New Orleans Pelicans

3 Takeaways from Brooklyn Nets feeble loss to New Orleans Pelicans

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Zion Williamson played like people expected. Nets too. The Brooklyn Nets returned to the Barclays Center tonight for the first time in two weeks, capping off their longest road trip of the season. Alas, there was no homecoming celebration of sorts for them on deck — nobody with balloons to greet them at the airport, nobody with a cake at the front door, no “welcome home” banner stretched across the banister. Just the New Orleans Pelicans. With Brooklyn dropping five of their past six, three to lottery-bound teams, whatever...

Brooklyn Nets lose 104-91 to New Orleans Pelicans in unremarkable fashion

Photo by Sarah Stier/ The Brooklyn Nets lost again, and that’s about the long and short of it The Brooklyn Nets took on the New Orleans Pelicans at the Barclays Center on Tuesday night, chasing the final Play-In Tournament spot in the Eastern Conference, the 10-seed. The Nets entered four games behind the Atlanta Hawks for said spot, which makes recent losses to the Memphis Grizzlies, Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Hornets, and San Antonio Spurs sting even mo—well, they stung anyway. It’s not about the Play-In Tournament, itself an avenue to getting demolished in the...

Photo by Sean Gardner/ The Nets are back home after a six-game road trip. The Nets aren’t just losing, they’re losing against bad teams positioning themselves for better draft odds. Brooklyn does not have that luxury. Anyway, it’s on to the next — a home bout against the Pelicans.

Breaking down Mikal Bridges Ironman streak — and whether it’s time to reassess it

Breaking down Mikal Bridges Ironman streak — and whether it’s time to reassess it

Photo by Fernando Medina/NBAE via As every Nets fan knows, Mikal Bridges hasn’t missed a game since his junior year in high school and has racked up more than 600 games since then. Is it too much? When Mikal Bridges steps on the court Tuesday vs. the New Orleans Pelicans, it will be his 500th consecutive game since arriving in the NBA in 2018: 461 regular season games and 39 in the post-season. Throw in his Villanova streak at the number is an impressive 616. Then add the eight FIBA World Cup games this summer and the number grows to 624 (He also played in all Team...

Brooklyn Nets vs. New Orleans Pelicans preview: Home for a day

Photo by Layne Murdoch Jr./NBAE via The Nets are back home after a six game road trip. They can’t get too comfortable as they get right back on the road after this game ends. Just counting down the days. The Brooklyn Nets had another chance to win on Sunday evening, but couldn’t get over the long arms of Victor Wembenyama as the San Antonio Spurs beat them in overtime. The Atlanta Hawks keep losing, but it doesn’t matter because the Nets keep losing. The opponent tonight is one of the league’s best now and likely in the future. The New Orleans Pelicans have...

3 Takeaways from Brooklyn Nets Overtime Loss to San Antonio Spurs

3 Takeaways from Brooklyn Nets Overtime Loss to San Antonio Spurs

Photo by Ronald Cortes/ Victor Wembenyama went from 21 points and four rebounds in his first game vs, Brooklyn, a loss, to a math quiz last night. As the Brooklyn Nets continue to dig deeper into the pit of this season, in the hopes of finding something at the bottom that makes it all worthwhile, all they keep finding is more mud, sand, rocks, and losses. Storming into the Lone Star state on the heels of an ugly loss to the Indiana Pacers and a subsequent players only meeting, the blueprints for a bounce-back win, even if “bounce back” really was just code for...

Wikipedia || Barclays Center The home of the Brooklyn Nets and NY Liberty is seeing its largest renovations ever, as Suite Level B is set to transform into premium fan clubs by the 2024-’25 season.

Brooklyn Nets get Wemby’d, lose to San Antonio Spurs 122-115 in OT

Photo by Ronald Cortes/ The Nets responded to Saturday’s brutal loss well on Sunday, but not well enough to notch a win. And so it goes. On Sunday the Brooklyn Nets flew south to take on the San Antonio Spurs in Austin, the largest American city without a Big 4 pro sports team. The game was the final stop in a six-game road-trip for Brooklyn, the second half of a back-to-back that began with a bitter loss to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night. For those that have remained on the Nets bandwagon nearly into April, lowering their expectations from a playoff berth to a...

Photo by Ronald Cortes/ Nets face Wemby and the lowly Spurs. The Nets haven’t been good this season and the Spurs have been worse. Difference between the two is (very) large — 2024 No. 1 overall Victor Wembanyama, who brings enough allure to watch a 14-win club like the Spurs. The Nets? Well, there isn’t much. Just a glimmer of hope that they slide into the 10 seed. WHO: Brooklyn Nets (26-40) at San Antonio Spurs (14-53) WHEN: 7:00 PM ET WHERE: YES Network on TV. WFAN on radio.

Long Island Nets lose second straight to Osceola Magic, 125-117

Photo by Fernando Medina/NBAE via No Noah Clowney and although two Nets two-ways scored 20 points each, Long Island lost its second straight to Osceola. Noah Clowney was in Indianapolis Saturday with the Brooklyn Nets, where he played four minutes in garbage time vs. the Indiana Pacers. He didn’t score, missing on a three, and grabbed a single rebound. Meanwhile, back in Osceola where Clowney registered a double double for Long Island Friday before being called up, his G League squad lost a second game in two nights to the Magic, 125-117. Two of the Nets three two...
