Nets vs. Clippers Jan 16

“The Nets’ comeback falls short” is a little phrase we’ve been seeing all too often over the past weeks. This is not the team that lambasted the Clippers last year, and it most definitely isn’t the one with the 5-game winning streak. It’s a team that’s suffering intensely from losing a half of their star duo. Because there are no arguments whatsoever pointing anywhere...

Game 8 Nets @ Raptors Jan 6

After a brutal six game losing streak, the Nets are finally back on board with a win. The Raptors may not be the best team in the league, but they came into this game fully healthy and on a two game winning streak, something that could not be said about the Nets. With MarShon Brooks and Damion James out, this game could have been a seventh straight loss, but give the Nets some credit...

A star player gets saddled with two early fouls in the opening six minutes of a game, which prompts the question: Do you pull your guy to help ensure he’ll be available later on when the foul trouble has subsided? Or does keeping your starter on the floor, to help keep the game competitive, outweigh the risk of the player...
