Kyrie Irving was back on the court after an eight-game suspension and the Brooklyn Nets took down a depleted Memphis Grizzlies team 127-115. While things were mostly on the quiet side for Kyrie, the real story here was Ben Simmons who played another great game following a breakout performance against the Blazers last Thursday.

In this one, starting for Nic Claxton, Simmons went for 22 points, eight rebounds, and five assists in the win. Doug Norrie breaks down the game, what it means to have Kyrie Irving back and Ben Simmons looking like the player of old. Plus Kevin Durant, Yuta Watanabe’s shooting and much more.

What a win! Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons lead the Nets in a full team effort over Blazers Nov 18, 2022

Show notes

What a win by the Brooklyn Nets who get a Royce O’Neale tip-in with just a second left to put the game away and walk out of Portland with a win. Kevin Durant scored 35 points, leading the way, but this was a full team effort with everyone playing some of their best basketball of the season.

Ben Simmons looked like the version the Nets thought they were getting in the James Harden trade, putting it together on both ends of the court for his best play of the season.

And the aforementioned O’Neale had a triple-double of his own. Plus, Yuta Watanabe went 5-7 from beyond the arc and finished with 20 points. It was all there for the Nets in a big win over the Blazers.

Nets get completely embarrassed by the Kings. Is it time to fully panic? Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

The Nets rolled into Sacramento to face the Kings on Tuesday and promptly got destroyed in every facet of the game. It was a terrible loss, 153-121 in a game that highlighted almost every major problem from the team. Kevin Durant played too many minutes in the blowout, they couldn’t stop anyone on the interior, the offense looked sloppy, threes didn’t drop and the offense looked disjointed. The Locked on Nets guys take a look at the game, and how it sums up some larger questions and issues for this team.

Nets lose bad to Lakers, but beat the Clippers. Is that good enough for Brooklyn? Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

The Nets won a good one on Saturday against the Los Angeles Clippers, once again holding an opponent under 100 points and turning in a full-team performance. But on the back-to-back Brooklyn looked sluggish and out of sorts against the Lakers on Sunday, losing to a Lebron James-less team and really never looking in sync. Without Seth Curry and Ben Simmons, as well as Kyrie Irving who remains suspended, Kevin Durant and company got close in the third quarter, but couldn’t get over the hump and eventually fell 116-103. The Locked on Nets guys talk about both weekend games and the takeaways, positive and negative from the performances.

Matt Brooks from Nets Daily talks Ime Udoka, Kyrie Irving and the state of the Brooklyn Nets Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

Adam Armbrecht welcomes friend of the podcast Matt Brooks to talk all things Brooklyn Nets basketball. Recorded on Monday afternoon following back-to-back wins, Matt and Adam look at the key talking points off the court for Brooklyn.

First, in what seemed like an all but "done deal" the ime Udoka hiring took big steps back over the past week. Matt Brooks outlines the reporting from key NBA voices and how the Nets inexplicably failed to see the potential blow back in hiring a coach with his own controversy.

Adam also highlights the six-point process the Nets have in place for Kyrie Irving to successfully return to the team - but the question remains, is he willing to do what the organization requires? Beyond the needs or wants, Matt Brooks also looks at what would be best for the team overall which includes the potential trade of Kevin Durant if not now than by the deadline or off-season.

Lastly, as is the case with the team, Adam and Matt discuss the team on the floor. Matt notes that Royce O'Neal, while a nice addition, is not a simple one-to-one replacement for Bruce Brown. The chang over to Jacque Vaughn brought the immediate insertion of Cam Thomas to the rotation which has the guys looking at how the interim head coach has performed and which players(if still on the roster) could shine across the 2022 season.
