Every piece the desk filed on Nets, newest first.
104 pieces, filed between and
What you are looking at is the whole of the label “Nets”: 104 pieces, in the order they were filed, most recent at the top. There is no article behind this address. It exists because the name does, and because links made to it years ago still arrive.
Everything on the list was filed in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The dates under the headlines are the dates the pieces went up and they have not been touched since: an archive that quietly re-dates itself is worth less than one that admits how old it is.
The pieces below are filed on Nets, so the desk is the better place to read around them: it puts them next to everything else on the same subject instead of only next to the ones that happen to share a name.
What this page does not do is rank, score or recommend. There is no order of merit on it, no rating attached to any of the pieces and no summary that claims to stand in for reading them. An index earns its keep by being complete and straight about its dates, not by editorialising over the top of them.
Through 48 games this season, the Brooklyn Nets sport a dismal 12-36 record, thus flushing my (apparently delusional) hopes for an eighth seed playoff berth down the metaphorical toilet.

Amidst a season with low expectations, high hopes and unbridled determination, a Brooklyn Nets team that started their season with seven straight losses now sits at 6-15 through six weeks of the regular season.

We are now seven games into the season, but one thing seems abundantly clear: defense remains a major issue. It’s a rarity to see them string together consecutive defensive stops, but more alarming is the fact that they’re giving up a high percentage of the shot worth the most points: the three-pointer.

With the season starting today for the new-look Nets, it should be interesting to see whether the changes they made this offseason will help the team in the long run.

The Brooklyn Nets have made the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, but ultimately they have nothing to show for it. The Nets have made a number of costly, short-term moves in recent years in an attempt to spark a deeper playoff run, but have ultimately failed.

Billy King, a general manager known for his willingness to make an abundance of roster transactions, seemed to have gone into overdrive this past offseason.

The Nets have come a long way out of their financial purgatory, and have relieved themselves of the “old” tag that was associated with their brand. Based on where they started, they’ve made miles of progress, but based on the rate at which the East is improving, they’ve still got some work to do if they want to be considered a threat.
