Re: Changing the Brooklyn way: A Brooklyn Nets Dynasty
It’s game 7 of the 2024-25 NBA Finals. We need a big game out of our big 3 to come out on top. Being up 3-1, we let our lead slip and land here in a win or go home game. We have home court advantage so we need to use our crowd to our advantage and win tonight to repeat as champions.
Game 7:
Memphis Grizzlies (3-3) at Brooklyn Nets (3-3) Jun 12, 2025 1 2 3 4 Final Memphis 20 26 16 25 87 Brooklyn 27 23 20 22 92 Top Performers Memphis Grizzlies Braxton 28 pts, 6reb Monroe 16 pts, 14 reb Brooklyn Nets Carlisle 30 pts, 6 asst Washington 21 pts, 11 asst Team Stats Comparison MEM BKN FG Made-Att 27-80 34-74 3PT Made-Att 6-12 5-13 FT Made-Att 27-29 19-22 Rebounds 57 37 Assists 20 23 Turnovers 16 12 Steals 5 7 Blocks 5 11
Brooklyn win the series 4-3.
Wally Carlisle was named the Finals MVP averaging 28.7 points per game, 4.9 rebounds per game, and 3.7 assists per game in the series.
We did it. We have repeated as NBA Champions!
For the entire playoffs, Wally Carlisle averaged 26.6 points per game 5.9 rebounds per game, and 4.0 assists per game. Gabriel Washington averaged 21.7 points per game and 9.4 assists per game. Dale Fordham averaged 14.0 points per game and 5.1 rebounds per game. Lastly, Johnnie Watson averaged 14.0 points per game, 4.8 rebounds per game, and 4.0 assists per game.
Stay tuned for the offseason.

Draft Assessment:
This was a good draft for us. We looked to get some players who can contribute off the bench for us and we feel like we got just that. Overall, it was a decent draft class with no real superstars standing out, hence our willingness to trade down.
Stay tuned for the rest of the offseason.
