Kyrie Irving optimism. Could the Brooklyn Nets star return as a part-time NBA player? Dec 14, 2021

Show notes

The Locked on Nets guys are back for Tuesday’s episode, this time talking about the latest report from The Athletic’s Shams Charania about the situation with Kyrie Irving. While light on actual specifics, the article suggested there could be some movement with him returning to the team. It’s hard to know how this would take form, but there seemed to be a sentiment that there was “optimism” around this idea. The guys take a look at the situation and what it could mean for the team.

They debate the idea of being a part-time player and what that would mean from both a logistical and also a team level. It’s a wide-ranging discussion in which they ask as many questions as they answer. Could Kyrie Irving return and if so, what would the situation look like?

Kevin Durant drops 51 as Nets win in Detroit, reminding everyone he is the best player in the NBA Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

Kevin Durant put on a show in Detroit on Sunday, scoring 51 points and leading the Nets to a win over the Detroit Pistons. With James Harden sitting out, Durant was in full takeover mode from the start. There was no confusion about the Nets’ game plan here and KD was up to the task. But things really got going in the 4th when the Nets erased a Pistons’ lead and dialed up the defense. The group of Durant, Mills, Brown, Thomas, and Claxton closed the whole fourth and were dominant on both ends of the court. The Locked on Nets guys break down the game, Durant’s performance, and what it means to have such a great player on the team.

Worst loss of the season? Without Kevin Durant, Nets lose to Rockets Dec 09, 2021

Show notes

After a great win over the Mavericks on Tuesday night, the Brooklyn Nets followed that up by losing a tough one to the Houston Rockets. Sure, the Nets were without Kevin Durant and LaMarcus Aldridge who rested on the second half of the back-to-back, but this still felt like one they should have pulled out. James Harden went back to Houston and played a game much like he used to in his days with the Rockets. He basically needed to considering the Nets’ personnel for the game.

The Nets went with a new starting lineup, but leaned into the rookies as well with Cam Thomas and David Duke Jr. getting extended run. But it wasn’t enough and the Nets came up short.

Kevin Durant and the Nets are automatic late, win nail-biter over Mavericks Dec 08, 2021

Show notes

The Brooklyn Nets won a big one on the road over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday in a game that very much had a playoff feel to it. Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Patty Mills were able to lead a fourth-quarter charge on offense that helped erase a double-digit Mavs lead. Kevin Durant played the entire second half in an interesting move by Nash and company. They dialed it up on that end and the defensive end as well with Nic Claxton and James Johnson coming off the bench for excellent efforts that helped slow down the Dallas attack. In all, this was a complete win for Brooklyn who bounced back from a tough loss to Chicago on Saturday. The Locked on Nets guys are breaking the whole thing down on the podcast.

It was everything you want in a basketball game. The Nets and Knicks traded blows in a game of runs that had the Nets ultimately come out on top.

Kevin Durant struggled early in this game, but pulled it together when it mattered most, finishing with 27 points thanks to a strong 4th quarter. Doug Norrie gets into all of it on the podcast, talking about how the Nets combined their two superstars’ efforts into a win for the team.
