James Harden Articles - Page 41

The Brooklyn Nets had little trouble dusting the New Orleans Pelicans, 120-105. Steve Nash and co. came into the game with two available members of their Big 3 in Kevin Durant and James Harden. Kyrie Irving is healthy, but remains out since he is not vaccinated and cannot play at home. It was a very […]

James Harden is one of the most prolific volume scorers in NBA history. That’s a fact. Before being a part of the Brooklyn Nets’ Big 3, Harden was the powerhouse behind the Houston Rockets’ offense. He took most of the shots, made most of the passes, and basically just did everything for the team and […]

The Brooklyn Nets recently had a taste of what it’s like to have their Big 3 of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving all available for a recent game versus the Chicago Bulls. That 138-112 victory was their best win of the year so far, allowing them to climb back to third in the […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are set to face the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center on Saturday night. The Nets have been without star Kyrie Irving all season for home games as he is ineligible to play in New York City. As an unvaccinated player, he can’t perform in venues like NBA arenas in New York. […]

At 26-15, the Brooklyn Nets are currently tied with the Miami Heat (as of Friday afternoon) for the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. Kevin Durant and Co. haven’t exactly been dominating the NBA of late, but there’s no denying that the return of Kyrie Irving, albeit for road games, has and will continue to […]

The Brooklyn Nets have had a really crammed schedule lately. Kyrie Irving returned for the Pacers game, his first of the season back on Jan. 5th. That almost seems like months ago listening to the Nets talk in the post-game. They’ve played six games in 9 evenings, including an overtime win over the Spurs at […]

The return of Kyrie Irving feels like a shot in the arm for the Brooklyn Nets. The trio of Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden is probably the most talented in the NBA and the Nets’ campaign should only get better as the season progresses. While Irving can only suit up in select games on […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving is only eligible to play in road games right now, but there is a firm belief that could change as the season rolls on. Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the organization is feeling optimistic about having Kyrie available as a full-time player once again: Woj says there’s “real optimism within […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets entered Wednesday’s huge road game against the Chicago Bulls with a bit of an annoying trend they’ve had to field questions about for most of the season: they hadn’t beaten any elite teams. That’s over with after their 138-112 evisceration of the top-seeded Bulls. Before the most recent victory […]

Sometimes superstar athletes seem like a completely different species. Other times they seem a bit like the rest of us. After Kyrie Irving’s third game back since being reinstated by the Brooklyn Nets, the seven-time All-Star opened up with reporters about his routine for viewing Nets games he’s not (yet) eligible to play in. Of […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set to face the Oklahoma City Thunder at Barclays Center on Thursday night. The Nets had their big three Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving available for the stunning 138-112 slaying over the Bulls. We don’t expect Kyrie Irving to appear in the next game since it’s in Brooklyn where he […]

The Brooklyn Nets just reminded everyone of how dangerous they can be. With a complete lineup of stars in a marquee matchup against the Eastern Conference leading Chicago Bulls, they pounded them to the ground in a 112-138 win. Having Kyrie Irving back has been a huge boost for the Nets, both for his on-court […]

The Brooklyn Nets seem like they need a break. At least most of them. Ten dudes at once in health and safety protocols about a month ago, bringing back Kyrie Irving part-time and whatever distraction that sparked, and now James Harden dinging up his knee a little bit are just some of the issues this […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a lot riding on a Sunday afternoon tipoff. Coming off a five-game home losing streak, they were desperate to shake the narrative that they really struggle at home. Of course, there’s more to unpack with that story as Kyrie Irving, now back as a part-time player, cannot help them in Brooklyn. […]

The Brooklyn Nets assembled one of the greatest big threes in NBA history. 2019 offseason additions Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were joined by James Harden. While it has not gone to plan, completely, the Nets are still powerhouses of the Eastern Conference. They were one three-pointer away from the NBA Finals last season, and […]

The Brooklyn Nets are officially in a slump. Having lost four of their last five games, the only recent game the team won was a road match versus the Indiana Pacers, which happened to be Kyrie Irving’s season debut. James Harden came back from health and safety protocols on Christmas Day and went nuclear in […]

Fresh off a win in Kyrie Irving’s return, a 129-121 victory over the Indiana Pacers, Kevin Durant, James Harden and company were back in Brooklyn to host the reigning champs, the Milwaukee Bucks. Jrue Holiday was out, in health and safety protocols. For the Nets, of course, Kyrie Irving was out for the game in […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set to face the team who knocked them out of the playoffs and went on to win the NBA championship in the Milwaukee Bucks. Brooklyn is 24-12 overall, second place in the East. The Bucks, led as always by Giannis Antetokounmpo, are 25-15.  But fans are still getting used to the […]

The Brooklyn Nets traveled to take on the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Normally that game wouldn’t garner much national attention. But it was Kyrie Irving’s first game of the season. All eyes were on the 6’2” guard who missed the first 35 games of the year because he’s not yet vaccinated. The Nets initially decided […]

The Brooklyn Nets are 24-12 after another road win, this one a 129-121 victory over the Indiana Pacers. The Nets are now 24-12, 1.5 games behind the first place Chicago Bulls. They’re tied with the Utah Jazz at 14-3 for the best away record in the NBA. Oh right, and we almost forgot to mention, […]

Kyrie Irving has returned. After missing the first 35 games of the season, the player who signed with the Brooklyn Nets in the summer of 2019 along with Kevin Durant, is back in action. By now you know why he was out. The Duke product is not vaccinated for COVID-19, and in New York City […]

The Brooklyn Nets finally got Kyrie Irving back after missing the team’s first 35 games – and it’s like he never left. The mercurial point guard poured in 22 points in a hard-fought victory over the Indiana Pacers on an efficient 9-for-17 shooting clip. He also had some timely buckets to help the Nets’ comeback […]

The day has finally arrived when Kyrie Irving makes his much awaited, and in many ways controversial, return to the Brooklyn Nets. In second place in the Eastern Conference at 23-12, the Nets now trail the Chicago Bulls by two full games. But all eyes are on the seven-time All-Star, born in Melbourne Australia, set […]

The Brooklyn Nets are officially on a losing streak. It’s been a whirlwind. The Nets, who previously had 10 players in health and safety protocols, suffered their third straight defeat on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. It was an absurd amount of unavailable players and part of the reason the team brass made the controversial […]

There were times this didn’t feel very likely. There were times it felt like a trade might offer Kevin Durant and James Harden more help in 2022 and beyond than Kyrie Irving could. But the New Jersey native is now finally set to make his season debut this week, with the seven-time All-Star expected to be […]

The Brooklyn Nets had the game in control, but it slipped through their grasp. After the 120-116 home loss to the shorthanded Los Angeles Clippers, the mood from Kevin Durant, James Harden and head coach Steve Nash was one of disappointment, bewilderment and disgust. From one perspective, the Nets deserve a bit of a pass. […]

It won’t be long now. While Steve Nash, Kevin Durant, James Harden and the Brooklyn Nets have lost their first-place standing, they’ll be getting a turbo boost to the rotation soon. DeMar DeRozan now has the Chicago Bulls atop the Eastern Conference leaderboard, as both the Nets and Bulls are 23-10. However, Brooklyn something coming […]

The Brooklyn Nets had an eventful couple of weeks. A wave of COVID-19 landed 10 of their players, including Kevin Durant and James Harden, in health-and-safety protocols. Between injuries to Joe Harris, still recovering from ankle surgery, and that rash of positive tests for coronavirus, the team brass huddled up and made the massive decision […]

With the All-Star game coming in February, discussions have begun around the league about the All-Star starters. The NBA opened the voting process on Christmas Day, and the community is already torn about some players. This year, there are a few surefire starters, like Steph Curry or LeBron James, but a ton of players deserve […]

The Brooklyn Nets dropped a key game to the Philadelphia 76ers. But sitting in first place in the Eastern Conference, now up just a half game over the Chicago Bulls, the bigger picture here is reintegrating not only their players who have been out in health and safety protocols but also their superstar Kyrie Irving. […]

As the Brooklyn Nets welcome Kyrie Irving back into the fray, he is refamiliarizing himself with the game at the NBA level. According to those who are in practice with him, the Nets’ All-Star looks as good as he ever has. Irving is a bit worried about getting into his groove again but James Harden […]

The Brooklyn Nets are already first in the Eastern Conference at 23-9, and they’re now getting much much healthier. The team recently had 10, count them, 10 players in health-and-safety protocols. But their top guns James Harden and Kevin Durant are back, and momentum is building toward Kyrie Irving finally making his 2021-22 debut. Harden […]

Wednesday marked the day that Kyrie Irving returned to practice this season. For the first time since training camp, the 2012 first overall pick was fully integrated with his teammates. Now eligible for up to 22 regular season road games, fans will eye the Jan. 5th game at Indiana or the Jan. 12th game at […]

With Kyrie Irving now back in the fold for the Brooklyn Nets, fans are dreaming of that ever elusive championship. Irving returned to practice for the first time this season on Wednesday, and he addressed the media for the first time since training camp. The (23-9) Nets sit in first place of the Eastern Conference, […]

The Brooklyn Nets are cruising on a 7-3 stretch that has helped earn them the Eastern Conference’s best record. Critical to the team’s success this season has been superstar forward Kevin Durant, whose play has been nothing short of spectacular. Durant has missed some time while in the league’s health and safety protocols, though he […]

The Brooklyn Nets are flying high at 23-9 and that’s without one of their best players in Kyrie Irving. Thankfully for them, he’s returning to the team to play in road games and James Harden knows just how vital that will be to the Nets’ success. Speaking to Malika Andrews of ESPN, The Beard made […]

The Brooklyn Nets were staring at a tricky portion of their schedule. James Harden, who has struggled more than we expected him to this year, in his first game back from a couple weeks in health and safety protocols, was asked to lead the team without Kevin Durant. Our expectations weren’t sky high coming in, […]

With the return of the Brooklyn Nets’ rotation — including Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving — now on the horizon, they have survived a stretch which might well be looked back upon as the most difficult portion of their regular season when all is said and done. They’ve pieced together an identity as a scrappy, […]

The Brooklyn Nets are in first place in the Eastern Conference. At 23-9, they have a 1.5-game lead over the rival Chicago Bulls, who have swept that season series so far two games to nil. Brooklyn actually has the fourth-best record in the entire NBA, behind a few Western Conference powerhouses in the Golden State […]
