As Brooklyn looks to continue winning ways, John Karalis breaks down the surging Celtics Nov 24, 2021

Show notes

Brooklyn heads to Boston, and that means a great cross over episode with John Karalis from the Locked On Celtics podcast. Adam and John take a deep dive on the match up, starting with the how the heck Boston has won eight out of eleven while being among the worst three point shooting teams in the league. First year head coach and former Nets assistant Ime Udoku took time to remold the defensive mindset, a process which has paid dividends of late and could prove frustrating for James Harden as he looks to get downhill at the basket. John knows Kevin Durant is unstoppable, but he highlights how the Robert Williams III and Al Horford impact could loom large for a Nets team just scratching the surface of a new potential rotation at the Center position. On the eve of Thanksgiving, this has all the makings of a great game, one the Nets will want to win before returning to Brooklyn on a four game home stand starting with Phoenix on Saturday night.

Nets got a classic James Harden performance, but injuries are a problem Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

The Locked on Nets podcast is back to start the week, talking about the Nets win over the Orlando Magic on Friday, but also the continued and mounting injury concerns for the team. The game against Orlando ended up being a close one with Brooklyn falling down early but then mounting a huge third quarter. James Harden was his vintage self, putting up 36 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists in his 41 minutes. He took 25 shots and also got to the line 20 times as well. The Nets needed all of it to come away with the victory.

There were some others who stepped up as well with Brooklyn getting great games from Patty Mills and James Johnson especially. But Bruce Brown left with a hamstring issue in the second and the Nets continue to deal with injuries up and down the roster.

Show notes

It’s time for a Friday mailbag and the Locked on Nets guys are answering some questions about the team. To start, they discuss the end of the game against the Cavaliers and what was happening with Kevin Durant over the last five minutes. He was completely disengaged and uninvolved before subbing out with a few seconds remaining. Is there a problem with the Nets’ superstar? The guys discuss what this sequence could mean.

And then they also look at the minutes being played by Durant and James Harden to start the season. It’s been a lot to start and there could be growing concern that they are overextending too much early on. What should Steve Nash and the coaching staff be doing to make sure this team doesn’t burn out?

Patty Mills and LaMarcus Aldridge lift the Nets to a win over depleted Cavs team Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

The Nets came in on the second half of the back-to-back against the Cleveland Cavaliers and came away with the win. It shouldn’t have been this hard considering the Cavs were really working with a depleted roster. The Nets jumped out to a solid halftime lead but a run in the third quarter left this game closer than it should have been. Patty Mills and LaMarcus Aldridge were the story for Brooklyn with Mills dropping in 21 points and Aldridge adding 24 off the bench. Getting secondary scoring from players beyond James Harden and Kevin Durant is the key and they needed it from these two tonight.

It looked bad in the moment and the Nets confirm that he will miss this one.
