Brooklyn Nets

Well it’s official: The NBA is a forest fire of craziness. To wit: A lot has happened since we last met. Kevin Garnett decided to head-hump Dwight Howard amid the Net’s demonstrative downturn; the Pistons decided to be an actual basketball team; the Knicks and Celtics let Sam Hinkie know they’re coming for his (pingpong) balls; [...]

Kevin Garnett is soooooooo suspended. Midway through the first quarter of Monday night’s bout between the Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets, Garnett got into it with Dwight Howard, because, well, Garnett has a tendency to get into it with a lot of people. Devin Kharpertian of The Brooklyn Game described the scene: It didn’t take [...]

Hypothetical NBA trades that don’t come true are the worst—especially those that would have been awesome. Like this one. According to ESPN New York’s Ohm Youngmisuk, the Brooklyn Nets and Oklahoma City Thunder talked shop on a deal involving Brook Lopez: [tweet: https://twitter.com/NotoriousOHM/status/552312545793826817] Nets Daily confirmed the rumor, which at this point, will never come [...]

Hello again. After a brief holiday respite, during which a crap ton of NBA-related things happened, The Hoop Doctors’ power rankings are back. We know it’s been tough, slogging through these last two weeks without the ability to incessantly check and read and cherish and tell your friends about updated power rankings. But the wait [...]

DeMarcus Cousins is arguably the best center in the league right now—and he showed us why on Monday night when they went on the road to face the Brooklyn Nets. Just under 4 minutes remaining in the game, Cousins aggressively attacked the paint and threw down an emphatic slam over the defending Mason Plumlee and [...]

Breaking: The Brooklyn Nets are still odd. Stuck in the throes of a season that has them contending for eighth place in the Eastern Conference, the Nets find themselves in a tough situation, footing an extravagant salary and luxury-tax bill for a mediocre product. Their next move, then, is obvious: Blow stuff up. Shop Deron [...]

We all know how much intensity Kevin Garnett plays with in every game. He’ll do just about anything to make sure his team wins, even pulling off a Lance Stephenson-esque ear blowing move. And it actually worked. In their game versus the visiting Pacers on Saturday night, Garnett blew in the ear of veteran forward [...]

Sure. Mike Malone is no longer the coach of the Sacramento Kings for stylistic reasons, mainly the fact that ownership and management want the team to run fast. So, naturally, in the post-Malone era, that’s led them to targeting a trade for the Brooklyn Nets’ Deron Williams, a former All-Star with paper ankles and spongy [...]

Here’s to stability. Never before, in the year-plus since we’ve been doing these power rankings, has there been less movement within a week. Twelve teams are right where they were last week, which is pretty freaking incredible. That’s almost half the Association, and that never happens. And, somewhat surprisingly, it’s the league’s best teams that [...]

Almost as soon as the Charlotte Hornets signed Lance Stephenson they wanted to trade him. That itself is almost a true story. Now that Dec. 15 has come to pass and NBA free agents who signed contracts over the summer can be traded, the Hornets are ready to move Stephenson, according to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: [...]
