The Brooklyn Nets have earned the tag as the comeback kings this season. The Nets added a 3x All-Star in Ben Simmons, but he was inactive due to mental health issues and a back injury. However, the outside noise had hampered the team psychologically, leading to poor performances on the court. However, after Kyrie Irving's suspension (due to his anti-vaccination stance) and a Covid outbreak in the Nets' camp late last year, the Nets' season suddenly went into a downward spiral.

Hoops Notes: Nets, Kevin Durant, Cavs, Timberwolves, Rudy Gobert (Yardbarker)

Nets The Nets are setting their sights on “bigger and better things” after their struggles earlier this season, according to star forward Kevin Durant.

The passing offense emerged to get the Steelers out of a third and five, with Pickett escaping pocket pressure to hit Freiermuth for 10 yards and a first down. After Pickett converted on third and one with a quarterback sneak, he hit Harris in the endzone on a broken play for the go-ahead touchdown with 1:02 left in the game. It’s hard to believe Saturday would be considered for the job given his lack of qualifications and the poor performance of the team under him. Michael Jordan, the face of the league back in the 1990s, and LeBron James, who was the face of the NBA during the 2010s. The Steelers defensive line came up huge on the next series, tackling Dobbins for little to no gain on consecutive plays to force a three-and-out and a third consecutive punt. Pickett and company started their next drive on their own 26 yard line and ran on five of their first five snaps, gaining 27 yards and a couple of first downs in the process. In the closing seconds of the first half, Hutchinson recorded his third interception of the season, tied for the most by a defensive lineman in the Super Bowl Era. While the Los Angeles Lakers have a couple of draft assets that would likely prove very valuable in a future trade, the team reportedly would prefer to part with them for a “legitimate third star.” The Lakers wanting to swing a big trade to improve their chances in the NBA playoffs is the worst-kept secret in the league. “Mark Davis has in fact been lukewarm on Carr for a while, apparently thinking the quarterback should have overcome all the disastrous draft picks and free-agent signings and all the coaches that Davis has hired and fired since 2014,” Tafur wrote. They were down 21-7 in the second quarter, and trailed 38-24 to start the fourth quarter, yet they came back to win after the Buckeyes missed a 50-yard field goal attempt at the end. This is a tough trade to grade, but there are ways to make it work if the 2 teams genuinely care to make it happen. This trade is actually a lot harder for the Suns to execute.
