Recap: Mr. Clutch Does it Again, Hits GW in OT

The Nets started this game off like they have the last few... very slow and not much effort. Settling for jumpers. And it showed as Phoenix easily jumped out to an early 14 point lead.

The Nets made a big run to get right back in it at the half, where they only trailed by 4. Deron Williams sprained his left ankle in the first quarter and didn't return. Shaun Livingston took his place and he helped lead the Nets to this OT victory. He was huge.

The Nets started the 2nd half on a huge 16-0 run. Took a 12 point lead. Phoenix recovered and got right back in it. Late in the game PJ Tucker hit a couple of key shots and it was tied 92-92 and we headed to OT, but not before some controversy. Paul Pierce seemed to be fouled when he was attempting to launch a half court shot at the End of regulation, there was no whistle.

We headed to OT, no team took control with about 10 seconds left Channing Frye missed a 3, a back tap right to Joe Johnson and he took it the length of the court and hit the game-winning runner. Mr. Clutch does it once again.

Nets next game is tomorrow is LA as they take on the Clippers at 10:30 ET. Kevin Garnett & Paul Pierce reunited with Doc Rivers. Should be a joy to watch.

Recap: Nets Fall to Pacers in Close One

The Nets lost their first game at home tonight against the now 7-0 Indiana Pacers, 96-91. This game was close throughout. The Nets won the first half bit the second half belonged to Indiana. Paul George lighted up the Nets for 24 points and continued to hit jumpers all night long.

Brook Lopez had an off night. With Hibbert on him it wasn't going to be easy. Deron Williams had by far his best game this season logging 17 points and 10 assists. Joe Johnson added 17 as well.

Nets had too many mistakes late in this game to win. KG made a couple of mistakes. D-Will made a mistake trying to do too much. And in my opinion, with the score 94-91 I felt the Nets shouldn't of settled for a three. But they did and Johnson missed a good look.

Nets next game is next Wednesday at Sacramento. They hope to bounce back as they have now fallen to 2-4.

Recap: Nets Lose Tough One in Overtime

Coming off their slaughtering of the Utah Jazz the Nets had two days off before they traveled to DC to take on the Wizards. The Nets completely controlled the first half. But the duo of Pierce and Garnett struggled. Garnett was 2-11 from the field, while Pierce was 1-5. Lopez had 23 points and 5 boards. John Wall totaled 17 points and 14 assists.

Nets fans have to be thinking how could we lose to the Cavs, Magic, & Wizards but defeat the Heat? This loss also puts the Nets 0-3 on the road and they're 2-0 at home.

They started off the 4th great led the trio of Livingston, Terry, Anderson. Blatche also contributed adding 13 rebounds and receiving a lot of boos, at usual in DC. Wonder why J Kidd didn't leave that lineup out there when they were successful. The Wizards eSnded up being victorious in OT with a final score of, 112-108.

Nets now turn their focus to tomorrow night as they host the undefeated Indiana Pacers. Should be a good one. Hopefully we can bounce back.

Recap: Nets Control Jazz, 104-88

The Nets bounced back from a horrible loss Sunday against the Magic. And tonight showed how deep this team really is. Brooklyn controlled the game from the tip. The Jazz didn't have a lead the entire game.

Brook Lopez was the high man with 27 points and 7 rebounds. He didn't play in the 4th so he could've had a lot more. Also a side note, Paul Pierce has shot 50% or higher in every game this season and it continues tonight as he was 4/7 from the field.

This is also the first time Deron Williams and Andrei Kirinlenko first time defeating their former team.

The Nets won by 16 despite getting outrebounded 47-39. Nets now improve to 2-2.

Next up for the Nets is Friday in Washington against the Wizards.

Recap: Magic Handle Nets Easily, 107-86

Coming off a big win Friday night in their home opener against the two time defending champion Miami Heat, the Nets had to feel good. The Orlando Magic made sure they weren't the second consecutive Florida team the Nets beat.

The Magic beat the Nets in every aspect of the game. The Nets kept it close throughout the first half but they absolutely got killed in the second half.

The Nets missed shot after shot. They didn't get the ball down low much at all tonight. They seemed content with constantly shooting jumper after jumper.

It was Jason Kidd's regular season coaching debut and it wasn't pleasant at all. We all expected a lot more from the Nets after their win over Miami but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Brook Lopez led the Nets with 21 points and 6 rebounds. Pierce added 16 more. Paul Pierce has showed up in his first three regular season games as a Net. Scoring 17 in a loss to Cleveland, 19 in a win against Miami, and 16 tonight in the loss to Orlando.

The Nets next game is Tuesday at home against the Utah Jazz.

Recap: Pierce Leads Nets to Victory over Miami

All summer the Brooklyn Nets talked about beating the Heat. Well, in their home opener they did it. Beating Miami 101-100. They led for most of the game. Miami made a late run with a minute left to make it close.

In the first half Paul Pierce scored 2 points. He erupted for 17 in the second half. Joe Johnson hit a couple of key three-pointers down the stretch in the fourth quarter. Alan Anderson was key for Brooklyn coming off the bench. He played great defense and hit a couple of threes.

Nets had a lead of as much as 16 at one point. The score was close in the end but throughout Brooklyn dominated the two time defending champs. And for Nets fans around the world, this was a very great win tonight.

LeBron paced the Heat with 26 points and Wade added 21. The Heat fall to 1-2 after consecutive losses to Philadelphia and now Brooklyn.

The Nets next game is in Orlando, Sunday at 6 ET. Deron Williams should be back to normal minutes that game as well.
