Show notes

Even though the NBA is coming out of the All-Star break, it’s easy to forget that the season is 72% finished and the Nets only have 23 games remaining and are currently sitting 8th in the East.

And they need to stay with their heads above water with Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons working their way back to the court, Kyrie Irving still not playing full-time, and a retooled roster. This is truly one of the craziest seasons ever. The Locked on Nets guys go through what the team has to deal with over these next two months, what to look for and how things can shake out.

Goran Dragic coming to Brooklyn. Nets wins buyout market once again Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

The Nets were able to win the buyout market for the second season in a row with the news that they were signing Goran Dragic for the rest of the year. After the word came out that Steve Nash had pitched his old teammate about coming over to Brooklyn, it sure seemed like the Nets were going to be able to add another crucial piece for the home stretch of the season. Considering where they are in the standings and how precarious a spot they are in terms of the playoffs, adding an on-ball guy like Dragic who might be able to contribute immediately was a boon for the team.

The Locked on Nets guys break down the signing, what it means for Brooklyn, how they were able to do this once again and what Dragic will bring.

Oh, what a win by the Nets!

Without Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, or newly acquired Ben Simmons, Brooklyn put in a full team effort for one of their more impressive wins of the season. The Locked on Nets guys are breaking it all down on a packed podcast discussing the rise of Cam Thomas, the decision to start and stick with James Johnson, what Andre Drummond brought and much more.

Nets finally win. Seth Curry and Andre Drummond arrive just in time Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

Reinforcements are here for the Brooklyn Nets and they have arrived just time. Brooklyn had lost 11 games straight and was mired in a very ugly part of the season. But with Seth Curry and Andre Drummond able to suit up for the first time following the James Harden trade, Brooklyn looked like a team rejuvenated. Curry was excellent, scoring a team-high 23 points on 10-18 from the field.

Meanwhile, Drummond made his presence felt early and turned in a solid performance with 11 points, nine rebounds, and four assists. And the Nets really felt his impact on the defensive end as well. And finally, there was Bruce Brown who arguably played his best game as a Net, scoring 19 points and getting after it on the defensive end in a big way.

In all, the Nets were able to come away with a win despite not having Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving. It was a much-needed W.
