Kevin Durant: How the Nets super star will take game 2 in Boston Apr 20, 2022

Show notes

Adam Armbrecht has John Karalis from Locked On Celtics take the wheel on another cross over episode! It is a fun, wide ranging, and light-hearted discussion on the first round series. Boston took game one in the series, but should they be confident a 2-0 series lead is coming Wednesday night? The guys bat around what went right and wrong for each team, ultimately feeling as strongly as they did coming into the series that their respective teams can win. Adam leans on Kevin Durant getting back in form while asking if John has concerns around Seth Curry and Bruce Brown "getting on track." John still thinks Jaylon Brown has more to give, and certainly sees Jayson Tatum as capable of taking his offense to another level. How the Nets respond to Boston's physical style, and if Brooklyn can bye cleaner on both ends should determine the outcome of a pivotal game two on Wednesday night.

Big adjustments for Brooklyn? Or is the secret to success simple: Kevin Durant Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

Adam Armbrecht is on the comeback trail for Brooklyn. Following the game one loss in Boston, there are more than a few fingers to point. Adam discusses moving away from Andre Drummond in the starting unit, and the secondary holes it creates. There are team philosophies that seem to prevent the Nets from utilizing veterans likes Blake Griffin, which opens the door for a larger minute share for rookie Kessler Edwards. With Steve Nash in the hot seat, Adam also reviews the closing sequences for the Nets that led to the loss and finds more than enough blame to go around the Nets locker room. Ultimately it is a reminder that after a game that came down to the last possession, drastic changes may be the extreme in response to an absolutely fantastic NBA playoff game (albeit 0-1 series deficit)

Don't worry, Patty Mills isn't broken. Plus, Nets cut James Johnson Apr 08, 2022

Show notes

With the season down to the last couple of games, the Nets are still going to need to rely on Patty Mills down the stretch and then for whatever playoff run they make. Much has been made about a drop-off in his shooting over the second half of the season, but are all of the narratives true? Not really. Doug Norrie takes a look at Mills’ season and why certain storylines around the shooter just aren’t totally correct. He looks at the numbers over the course of the season and the stories fans end up telling themselves to make sports make sense.

And then there’s talk about the Nets cutting James Johnson in favor of covering Kessler Edwards’ two-way contract for the remainder of the season. It’s a somewhat surprising move all things considered.
