Just watched the most unusual bases-loaded double play I believe I've ever seen in a playoff baseball game…. Wow! 🤯 ⚾️ #MLB #MLBSky #MLBPostSeason #MLBPlayoffs #MilwaukeeBrewers #LosAngelesDodgers #NLCS

“Aside from rookie-scale players and a couple of veterans—hello, Lexie Brown and Kalani Brown—every other player in the league is slated to hit the market this offseason. This could earnestly be the wildest free-agency period in league history.” 🏀 ⛹🏽‍♀️ #WNBA #WNBASky #WNBAOffSeason #WNBAFreeAgency

An electric 2025 WNBA season came to a close Friday night, as the Las Vegas Aces entered legitimate dynasty territory with their third title in four years. It was quite the journey—from flirting with ...

You could feel this coming if you watched the two Nets games in Macao. I like both players as people, but the writing was on the wall. 🏀 #NetsWorld #NetsSky #BrooklynNets #DariqWhitehead #DrewTimme

I wonder if the PG rotation might flip flop, though? Traore looks a little overwhelmed at the moment, like his confidence has been ebbing in these Macao games. I am not down on the kid, but, right now, he’s playing like he’s underwater. Maybe ease him in more? I don’t know 🏀 #NBA #NetsWorld #NetsSky

That was a truly odd stretch from the booth…. #NBA #NBASky

I got up at 6:45 a.m. on a Sunday for Brooklyn Nets preseason basketball so you didn't have to:

Brooklyn Nets defeat Phoenix Suns in final Macao game, 111-109

It was an often a struggle for the starters, but the bench (and rookies!) showed some flashes

I am def more encouraged about the watchability of this coming season after seeing these three warm-up games. Not winning much is okay if the kids play hard and we can watch them develop in positive ways, even as they make mistakes. I hope we can at least enjoy that much in 2025/2026…. #NetsWorld

Are they counting those as preseason games when they aren’t against NBA teams? I honestly don’t know. lol. Like, New Orleans went to Australia and played two local teams there—no NBA opponents. It was fun but a little odd 🌏 🏀

Saraf ran the offense exceptionally well in BK’s first win of preseason. He put up 11 assists in just 21 min and half of them were sharp plays. Ben might end up our starting PG at the beginning of the season. He looked calm and played under control. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NetsSky #BenSaraf

“Where Liberty players are playing this offseason… here are the destinations for all players who were on the Liberty roster at some point this season (including training camp) or to whom Liberty still hold the rights….”

Thanks, guys! I just assumed they’d be on YES and so I didn’t do the necessary legwork. I appreciate the heads-up. 🙏🏽

Thank you!

Who is broadcasting/streaming these Brooklyn Nets preseason games? I checked the YES section of the godawful Gotham app and saw nada…. 👎🏽 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NetsSky

Damn. That Dodgers pitcher Sasaki has FILTHY stuff…. On in relief and has now retired 9 Phillies hitters in a row. His splitter just falls off a cliff! ⚾️ #2025MLBPlayoffs #MLBPlayoffs #LosAngelesDodgers #Dodgers #MLB #MLBSky #DodgersSky
