Nets injury woes and is this an asterisk NBA season? Jun 30, 2021

Show notes

Injuries ended up costing the Brooklyn Nets a championship. That much appears clear at this point. If James Harden and/ or Kyrie Irving had been healthy it looks like they could have walked to an NBA championship. The guys look at this from a Nets perspective and how it’s factored into the league as a whole now. Because the injuries have reached a critical mass with both Trae Young and Giannis Antetokounmpo getting hurt in this latest series. The latter looks like he just may have a series ACL injury.

Adam Armbrecht and Doug Norrie break this down, how the Nets factor in here, whether this is an asterisk season for the league, the brutal injuries and what it means for the quality of basketball.

Why Steve Nash was a great hire for the Nets Jun 25, 2021

Show notes

The Locked on Nets guys are back with another Brooklyn Nets podcast about the team as we truck through the offseason. The guys start off talking about the lingering disappointment from the Nets losing the second-round series, especially after watching Game 1 of Bucks-Hawks. But then they get into the coaching of Steve Nash and why, when other teams with disappointing exits have questions around their coach, the Nets don’t.

There’s so much context here and they explore why in a tumultuous off-season already, the Nets have none of those questions. And finally, they compare that situation to the one in Dallas with the recent hiring of ex-Net Jason Kidd.

James Harden opts out of Olympics and Nets coaching staff changes Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

It’s a packed podcast with the guys rolling through a bunch of Nets news that keeps coming throughout the offseason. First off, they talk about James Harden opting into the Olympics and then almost immediately opting out to rehab the hamstring injury. The guys weigh in on the decision and why it is these guys are so incentivized to continue playing for USA basketball.

And then they get into the Nets’ coaching piece with Ime Oduka being hired as the new head coach of the Boston Celtics. It’s definitely a loss for the Nets with Oduka credited for the defensive scheme and almost universally praised for his abilities. The Celtics get a great hire, but he will be missed on the sidelines for Brooklyn. They also discuss Jacque Vaughn and Mike D’Antoni being thrown out there for positions as well.

Kevin Durant scores 32, but the Nets lose Game 6 Jun 18, 2021

Show notes

It’s a tough loss for the Brooklyn Nets in Game 6 in one that they never looked fully engaged. The Bucks got out to a hot start early and it was always just a bit too much for the Nets to keep up with. While Kevin Durant did establish plenty of scoring, Brooklyn got almost nothing from the role players at all.

James Harden did look a bit healthier which is an encouraging sign leading into Game 7, but they will need to get more from everyone else. Doug Norrie and Adam Armbrecht take a look at the game, some of the things that went wrong, and few positives to take before going into the deciding game.
