Kyrie Irving takes over as Nets make narrow escape over Atlanta Hawks, extend winning streak to 10

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. Adam then reminds us how Kevin Durant continues to be automatic, getting to spots with ease, even though he did give Nets fans a collective scare - over extending his right shoulder on a loose ball.

Kyrie Irving lights up 4th in a great win over the Hawks: In what was one of the highest firepower game of the season, the Brooklyn Nets held off the Atlanta Hawks in a crazy 145-141 game. Kyrie Irving struggled through the first three quarters but turned on the afterburners in the fourth with 17 points to help lead the way over the Hawks. Kevin Durant posted his best numbers of the season with 33 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists and was one of the main reasons the Nets were able to stay in the game. The guys break everything down including the starting lineup, the bench play, the Nets' defensive struggles against the five-out offense, and of course a wonderful 4th quarter.

The Nets best chance for playoffs is to rest Kevin Durant the last four games: The Nets come into a new week fresh off the disappointment of losing to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. With Kevin Durant going for a career high 55 points this felt symbolic of the Brooklyn Nets season - highlight moments overshadowed by bad luck breaks. With the 10th seed secured, Adam discusses the risk reward of going all out in the last four games, and if resting Kevin Durant should be on the table. Beyond the loss, there were also post game threads to pull that seem to indicate the Nets superstar and head coachSteve Nash see things thee same way. Yes, this team has struggled to be healthy and on the court, but there is no excuse for lack of effort and sloppy defensive sequences. Adam also updates the comedic coverage of Ben Simmons and his all but mysterious timeline to return and the Locked On Nets theme remains ever strong: no one knows anything until the Nets third star steps on to the court.

Was there a finger issue bothering him, and does that make the outing more impressive? Sho discusses the offensive production from Kevin Kiermaier who got the rally going in the seventh, and Alejandro Kirk who reached base four times - how much of a gamble was it to not pinch run for Kirk in the seventh?

Epic night in Brooklyn! - Nets blow out Warriors as Kevin Durant leads dominant full team performance: The Brooklyn Nets put on a show for the fans at Barclay's Center on Wednesday night! There was no Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins or Klay Thompson for Golden State, which set the expectations for a win in Brooklyn. The way in which the Nets went about getting that win was nothing short of spectacular. The Nets dropped 91 first half points on the Warriors thanks to electric perimeter shooting from Joe Harris and Royce O'Neal. The hot shooting extended throughout the roster and was the product of ball movement and a seismic 43 assists. Winners of 11 out of their last 12 games, not every win has come easy for the Nets. Winning a game like this, in dominant fashion could be the next step in this teams evolution. The sweetest note of this win was seeing Kevin Durant in warmups for the entire fourth quarter, and knowing that 70 of the Nets 91 first half points came from players not wearing the by Locked On Nets - Daily Podcast On The Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn falls flat behind Kevin Durant as Nets winning streak ends in Chicago: All good things come to an end, and for the Brooklyn Nets, it was their 12-game winning streak on Wednesday night in Chicago. Kevin Durant maintained his MVP-level season with a 44-point performance but this game was reminiscent of last season where wins were an all-or-nothing prospect on KD's shoulders. Kyrie Irving provided some highlight moments but could not come through late to help the Nets over the hump. While Seth Curry poured in six three-pointers, the rest of the supporting cast was a complete no-show, highlighted by a rare off night for Royce O'Neal, who returned from a one-game absence. The Nets surrendered 69 first-half points, were late in rotations, and did little to deny entry passes into the paint. There are no alarm bells to sound but it was a good reminder that even the best teams can always improve and this loss should help motivate Brooklyn going forward.

No Kyrie Irving for the Brooklyn Nets Ben Simmons can't find offensive game in loss to Spurs: The Nets have plenty to accomplish in the absence of Kevin Durant. On Tuesday night Brooklyn was also without Kyrie Irving, which set the stage for the supporting cast to step up. Unfortunately, it was a mixed bag of inconsistency and sloppy play that certainly provided all those 2021 vibes Nets fans do not want to see resurface. The starting unit was ineffective but when the bench stepped up to pull the Nets close, Coach Vaughn seemed to hesitate in leaning into what was working. With a combined 32 points in the first and fourth quarters the Nets allowed a bad Spurs team to dictate tempo and hand them their third straight loss. Learn more about your ad choices.

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. Consistency also affords specialized players like perimeter shooter Joe Harris or swiss army defensive weapon Nicolas Claxton to lock into what they do best. Learn more about your ad choices.
