Kevin Durant sets the tone for the season at Brooklyn Nets Media Day Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

Kevin Durant was the first to speak at Nets Media Day and really set the tone for what’s to come over the course of this season. He talked about the trade demands over the summer, what led him to that place, and why he was at odds a bit with management. But there was also talk of getting back on the same page and what the Nets have set out to accomplish this season. It was a refreshingly honest take from Durant and a look into what’s gone on with this team over the last year or so.

Identifying "X" factors: Which player can help the Brooklyn Nets succeed this season? Sep 23, 2022

Show notes

The Brooklyn Nets are poised to get back on track in 2022 and Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons set to handle the star power. However it is not simply the top-end talent that brings a championship to an organization. Before the guys tap into potential contributors set for big roles, Adam throws a crew ball at Doug and asks how "bullish" he is on the Nets success this year. On paper, its a slam dunk... but that paper has lied in recent seasons.

When looking at the current 15-man roster, Doug sees Markieff Morris as veteran with the plug and play skill to bring a physical and emotional presence to the Nets bench. Adam can't help but highlight Yuta Watanabe who seemingly does a little bit of all the things Brooklyn wants from a bench wing.

In a somewhat surprising twist when Adam turns his attention to Day'ron Sharpe, Doug Norrie just might agree that the second year big can have an expanded roll in 2022.

The Nets will improve this season just by who doesn't play Sep 21, 2022

Show notes

Doug Norrie of the Locked on Nets podcast takes a look at last season’s minutes for the Brooklyn Nets and just how crazy some of the final numbers looked. Patty Mills led the team in run by hundreds of minutes and more than half of the team’s play was taken up by players over 33 years old or under 22 years old. Just by default, the season is setting up significantly better in terms of playing time, and on that alone, there’s room for lots of optimism.

A big by any other name? Why the Brooklyn Nets need to be selective in adding size Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

Adam Armbrecht hops on the podcast to discuss the Nets need for more size. He highlights that no one player is going to be an "Embiid stopper" and there should be a bigger importance on team and role fit.

Creating rotation redundancies means consistency around Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Consistency also affords specialized players like perimeter shooter Joe Harris or swiss army defensive weapon Nicolas Claxton to lock into what they do best.
