Nets get pummeled on glass again, lose 3rd in a row to Denver, 108-102

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:24:25 GMT

If the Nets hope to avoid the Play-In Tournament and retain their standing as an uncontested playoff team, they’re going to have to solve their rebounding issue.It’s the Achilles heel for a team still clinging to postseason aspirations in the aftermath of the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving trades.The Nets can get stops and, at times, generate quality offense — but their lack of true depth at the five and true size in the front court leaves them susceptible to being outworked on the glass.They rank second to last in rebounding in all of basketball ahead of only the center-less Dallas Mavericks.“We have to accept it. It’s truth,” head coach Jacque Vaughn said postgame. “It’s staring us in the face. The scouting report says to try to go offensive rebound versus the Nets, and we have to understand that and really do a diligent job of trying to continue to do this together. We can’t do it with two people or three people.”Such was...

Mets 26-man roster projection as spring training draws to a close, injuries mount

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:24:25 GMT

Things sure have changed for the Mets over the last two weeks.The Mets’ World Series hopes took a hit last week when closer Edwin Diaz underwent knee surgery following a World Baseball Classic injury and outfielder Brandon Nimmo suffered sprains to his right knee and ankle as the result of an awkward slide into second base. The bullpen has been beleaguered with injuries to left-hander Brooks Raley and right-handers Bryce Montes de Oca and Sam Coonrod.Further fueling the concerns of fans is the performances of Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso in the WBC. The duo is a combined 2-for-18 for Team USA. Despite the thrilling theatrics of the Americans’ quarterfinal victory over Venezuela on Saturday night, some fans are still calling for the event to end or at least be moved to another time of the year so it doesn’t affect the Major League season.But the WBC concerns are futile at best for the moment. The regular season is less than two weeks away and as of Sunday, we know Di...
