Five game win streak snapped as fatigue sets in for the Brooklyn Nets in Chicago: We're back talking all things Brooklyn Nets basketball! Adam Armbrecht flies solo following the 118-95 loss on the road to the Chicago Bulls. This was a game that ultimately came down to fatigue, as the Nets played their third game in four nights and the second of a back to back. There were times this one got down right sloppy, but overall it was another litmus test for the Nets as the feel their way through early season adjustments. James Harden's road to recovery took a modest step forward as he continues to discuss the definition of a foul with NBA officials. Harden showed he is continuing to hit his stride, including on the defensive end where he was consistently disruptive in the passing lanes.

Lebron who? Nets win easy over the Lakers with great shooting: The Nets kept their streak alive with another win, this time over Lebron James and the Lakers. Brooklyn was without Kevin Durant and LA was missing Anthony Davis, but there were still plenty of superstars to go around. The Nets ended up taking home a decisive victory on the back of excellent three-point shooting and another magnificent game from James Harden. They were even able to withstand some shooting struggles from Kyrie Irving. The guys look at the game, the starting lineup and how it caused the Lakers issues, how the off-ball movement has only increased the firepower and the renewed energy on defense.

A big by any other name? Why the Brooklyn Nets need to be selective in adding size: Adam Armbrecht hops on the podcast to discuss the Nets need for more size. He highlights that no one player is going to be an "Embiid stopper" and there should be a bigger importance on team and role fit. Creating rotation redundancies means consistency around Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

Kenny Atkinson Scouting Report: Is He a Good Choice to Coach the Lakers?: Former Brooklyn Nets coach Kenny Atkinson is reportedly (along with Darvin Ham and Terry Stotts) among the finalists for the Lakers head coaching job. His tenure hit a high point while guiding a young team featuring D'Angelo Russell, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jarrett Allen, but once Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving arrived, Atkinson's job security felt immediately in danger, which raises questions about his ability to coach LeBron James, Anthony Davis and (possibly) Russell Westbrook. Then again, in fairness to Atkinson, his time in Brooklyn was also very specifically weird, meaning it may not be fair to think of him as best suited for a rebuilding squad, rather than one with a directive to be ready for primetime. All these issues (and more!) are presented to Adam Ambrecht, co-host of the Locked On Nets podcast, who covered the man who preceded Steve Nash.

Kevin Durant and USA Basketball, plus NBA Draft Coverage: Adam Armbrecht is back talking all things Brooklyn Nets Basketball on a solo Monday show! Adam kicks off the week first with a look back at Sunday's disappointing loss for Kevin Durant and USA basketball at the hands of France. The loss broke a 24 game win streak for team USA and with Greg Popovich stating "We’ve been preparing for France for two years. I think about it every day,” it makes you wonder what went wrong and if the international game brings superstar talent back to the mean. Adam then turns his attention to the NBA Draft and the big offseason talking point, Spencer Dinwiddie. While Spencer Dinwiddie has made his contract desires clear, there is now a growing perception that the market may not be a robust as once thought. Retaining Dinwiddie, or moving him in a sign and trade really won't impact their Draft day plans in Adam's mind.
