Concerns for James Harden? Takeaways from the Brooklyn Nets back-to-back weekend

Kevin Durant is in MVP form, Nets pull to 2-2 in win over Wizards: The Brooklyn Nets get a relatively easy win over the Washington Wizards on Monday, the second half of a back-to-back following the loss to the Hornets on Sunday. It was, once again, all about Kevin Durant in this one with the Nets’ superstar already in MVP form this season. He carried Brooklyn once again, making up for a relatively poor shooting performance from the team across the board. Adam Armbrecht and Doug Norrie talk about what Durant has already done this season and why he is putting himself near the top of the MVP discussion even only a few games in. They also talk about the continued struggles for James Harden who is clearly still working his way back from injury in the offseason. All of this and more on a packed podcast.

Kevin Durant and James Harden look rusty, but Nets win second preseason game: The Locked on Nets guys are kicking off the week by looking back at the second preseason game of the year for the Brooklyn Nets and the debuts for James Harden and Kevin Durant specifically. There was a little rust for sure in both of these games and the Nets offense, at times, struggled to get things going. The guys are worried about the performance at all though. There were some things to take away from this game, especially around the early rotations that saw Patty Mills predictably come in as the sixth man and some other veterans coming in shortly after. The guys get into this and what it means for when the season starts. All of this and more on a packed episode. Be sure to subscribe to the Locked On Nets YouTube channel.

Nets blow huge lead, Kevin Durant frustrated after loss to Clippers: The Brooklyn Nets lost their second game in a row for the first time this season when they blew a double-digit fourth-quarter lead to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. It was a frustrating way to close the game with Kevin Durant clearly bothered by the team’s effort and the outcome. He said as much in his post-game comments. The Nets had trouble generating offense outside of the two superstars and wasted another great game by James Harden specifically. The Locked on Nets guys break down the loss and what happened late in the game with rotations from Steve Nash. They talk about the lack of spacing, possible adjustments, and what to look for going ahead when it comes to the Nets.

Kevin Durant and the Nets are automatic late, win nail-biter over Mavericks: The Brooklyn Nets won a big one on the road over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday in a game that very much had a playoff feel to it. Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Patty Mills were able to lead a fourth-quarter charge on offense that helped erase a double-digit Mavs lead. Kevin Durant played the entire second half in an interesting move by Nash and company. They dialed it up on that end and the defensive end as well with Nic Claxton and James Johnson coming off the bench for excellent efforts that helped slow down the Dallas attack. In all, this was a complete win for Brooklyn who bounced back from a tough loss to Chicago on Saturday. The Locked on Nets guys are breaking the whole thing down on the podcast.

Kevin Durant nearly wins it, but Spencer Dinwiddie nails buzzer beater: With the Nets coming on the back-to-back and without Kyrie Irving, we knew this was going to be an uphill battle against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Brooklyn was up to the task and played hard throughout. It was the final few moments that told the story though with Kevin Durant hitting a monster three to put the Nets ahead by one. But former Net Spencer Dinwiddie was able to finish it off with a buzzer-beater that gave Dallas the win. It was a very tough loss for Brooklyn who really had this win, until they didn’t. The Locked on Nets guys break down the closing sequences and what went right and wrong for each team. They also dive into the game as a whole with talk about adjustments and strategies each team took to mitigate the two superstars in Durant and Doncic.

Love the effort, hate the result. Brooklyn Nets lose tough one in Toronto: The Nets went up to Toronto and the second half of the home and home after getting drubbed in the first, but this time put up much more of a fight. They ended up losing by one (it was more like four) in what could end up being a critical game for them in the standings. In the third quarter, the team was able to pull away some on the back of huge defensive plays from Nic Claxton, Bruce Brown, and more. But they couldn’t keep it going in the fourth and the offense really bogged down. The Locked on Nets guys break down the game, what it meant for both teams, and the Nets’ overall effort. They also discuss some of the decisions by Jacque Vaughn and a couple of key sequences late that sealed the Nets' fate in this one.

After reminding Nets fans not to panic on Friday’s episode, Adam Armbrecht and Doug Norrie discuss how much of what they discussed came to fruition over the weekend. James Harden looked very much like James Harden again, getting to line 19 times against the Pacers and staying fully in control against the Pistons. Brooklyn was even able to weather a Kevin Durant ejection in the win over Detroit. Plus they talk about the play of LaMarcus Aldridge who has seemed to hit nearly every shot he’s taken in the last couple of games.
