Typed comments will be lost if you are not signed in. The Nets have 11 back-to-backs this year. The first one takes place at the start of November when the Houston Rockets visit on the first of the month, then Brooklyn visits Little Caesars Arena to play the Detroit Pistons on November 2. The Nets have three back-to-backs in January and March. The Nets will not be featured on the Christmas Day slate of games, though the Knicks will come to visit on December 26.
Perhaps the coaching change from Steve Nash to Jacque Vaughn has simplified things. Perhaps it’s a function of the schedule, too, as a large portion has been home games and against less-than-stellar competition. Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar continued a re-build of its frontcourt by signing a one-year deal with center Alan Williams, the club announced on Tuesday. Williams (2.03 meters, 26 years old) has last played with Shaanxi of the Chinese League... Brooklyn’s big January at Barclays Center is anchored by a stretch of seven home games in eight, running from Jan. 7 to Jan. 23, capped by a visit from LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Lakers.
Per Game
Right now, early in the trade season, teams are asking full retail for players — hence the Magic wanting a first-round pick for Bamba. Prices will get more realistic the closer we move to the Feb. 9 trading deadline. The Wizards’ recent 10-game losing streak was maybe best exemplified by their crunch-time defense against the Lakers last Sunday, which could best be described as embarrassing.
Put simply, the Nets have looked like one of the better teams in the East. Sure this run came against a soft part of the schedule, but you’ve got to beat whose in front of you and the Nets have. There are better tests coming up Friday and Monday against the Bucks and Cavaliers. Bucks (22-8, Last week No. 2). Christmas came early for Milwaukee this year when Joe Ingles made his debut with the team, having recovered from a torn ACL.
Top Leagues
Over his last 11 games, he’s been in a groove that rivals some of his best work, averaging 32 points on 63% shooting, 43% from 3-point range and adding 6.5 rebounds and five assists per game. But Irving has been efficient since returning from his suspension following the promotion of an antisemitic film and subsequent comments, and Durant has been playing at an MVP-level all season. The preseason schedule was announced on July 10, 2019.
As the Nets have stacked up wins, there have been discussions about them not beating the very best teams. There may be something to that, but not that much. You can only play who’s in front of you, and the Nets have been handling business like they’re supposed to. The next few games against the Warriors, Milwaukee Bucks, and Cleveland Cavaliers will be a great test of their recent improvements, and a good showing will give the fans even more optimism as we head in to 2023.
BrooklynNets
A game preview of the matchup between the red hot Brooklyn Nets and the injured and struggling Golden State Warriors. Keep an eye on the Magic on the trade market heading into the Feb. 9 trade deadline — and on the court, where they have become dangerous. Phoenix finally looked like it was getting back on track having won three in a row, and then came an ugly loss to the reeling Wizards, a game that saw Deandre Ayton and Monty Williams arguing on the bench .
The Nets play their first nationally televised game of the season during that early home stretch when they host the Houston Rockets on Friday, Nov. 1. That is one of 12 games currently scheduled to air on either ESPN or TNT. It’s tough when everyone’s chasing after you. The margin for error is thinner, teams give you their best shot every night, and getting back to the top of the mountain becomes even harder.
Brooklyn Nets games in NOVEMBER
Since Jarrett Allen returned to the lineup eight games ago the Cavs are 6-2 with a +7 net rating with the fourth-best defense in the NBA over that stretch. The Cavaliers want a fifth starter who can play the three, stretch the floor on offense and play strong defense for Christmas. Of course, 29 other teams are looking for a guy like that and it’s likely more of an off-season pick-up for Cleveland, but if Santa has one of those players in their bag the Cavs will take it. The season was suspended by league officials following the games of March 11 after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19. On March 17, the Nets announced that four of its players tested positive for COVID-19, including Kevin Durant. On April 1, general manager Sean Marks announced that all four players recovered and were cleared by local health officials.

He’s one of the big red flags in what’s so far been an underwhelming 2020 Draft class. His future will determine a lot of what the Warriors try to do going forward. The Brooklyn Nets finished the regular season with a point differential of -41.
The Kings have a +9 net rating when both Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox are on the court, and coach Mike Brown has started lobbying for both of them to be All-Stars. That may be a big ask in a west this deep with talent. We’ve got a new No. 1 atop the NBA Power Rankings this week as the Milwaukee Bucks slide up to first, while the Celtics’ recent slide has them down to third . This week the focus is on what Santa would bring all 30 teams. Beginning with a matchup against the Stephen Curry-less Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, the next seven weeks will certainly have the Nets tested and quizzed if they can dance with the league's elite. After a favorable regular season slate the last two weeks, the Brooklyn Nets are set for a big test to show if the team can dance with the elite.
The Nets have rebounded from the ashes of a coaching change and an Irving-fueled controversy to climb to fourth in the East, winning 11 of 12 with a current seven-game streak, the longest in the league. This season, 18 of Brooklyn’s 41 home games will be played on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The Nets will also host five afternoon contests, including a 3 p.m. Game versus Philadelphia on Martin Luther King Jr.
