Kyrie Irving takes over as Nets make narrow escape over Atlanta Hawks, extend winning streak to 10 Dec 29, 2022

Show notes

Adam Armbrecht breaks down the short-handed but scrappy play for the Atlanta Hawks as the Brooklyn looked to land their 10th straight win. There were matchups and style of play elements that provided some real concerns throughout this game. Atlanta plays at pace, works in transition and has length - all of which had the first half ending with Brooklyn clawing back to a seven point deficit.

Kyrie Irving again showed off his unstoppable offensive talent, pouring in 15 fourth quarter points that helped the Nets escape with the win. This has been the formula for the Nets under coach Jacque Vaughn, having Kyrie pick his "take over" moments around consistent team basketball with efficient and balanced MVP play from Kevin Durant.

Show notes

The Nets have answered the challenge of taking on the Eastern Conference best - now beating the Bucks and Cavs in back to back games. It took another full team effort with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving playing their usual critical roles.

This matchup presented longer players in Mobley and Allen along with dynamic play makers in Garland and Mitchell.

Epic night in Brooklyn! - Nets blow out Warriors as Kevin Durant leads dominant full team performance Dec 22, 2022

Show notes

The Brooklyn Nets put on a show for the fans at Barclay's Center on Wednesday night! There was no Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins or Klay Thompson for Golden State, which set the expectations for a win in Brooklyn. The way in which the Nets went about getting that win was nothing short of spectacular. The Nets dropped 91 first half points on the Warriors thanks to electric perimeter shooting from Joe Harris and Royce O'Neal. The hot shooting extended throughout the roster and was the product of ball movement and a seismic 43 assists.

Winners of 11 out of their last 12 games, not every win has come easy for the Nets. Winning a game like this, in dominant fashion could be the next step in this teams evolution. The sweetest note of this win was seeing Kevin Durant in warmups for the entire fourth quarter, and knowing that 70 of the Nets 91 first half points came from players not wearing the number seven jersey.

But how do we feel about their roster and are the pieces the fans want the team to add actually the right moves? It’s an interesting question as the Locked on Nets guys examine the squad and what could actually happen over the next couple of months leading to the trade deadline. The guys flip some of the discussion into thinking about how Brooklyn should lean into its strengths and maybe resist the urge to add a superfluous piece.
