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 production as well as the increased morale from within the locker room. They're a team that's near unbeatable with their best players healthy and available – and James Harden knows it.
That's why when Harden was asked about the possibility of Kyrie Irving playing in home games, something he's been restricted from doing due to government vaccine mandates, the Beard was willing to take matters into his own hands.
“I’m going to give him the shot,” said Harden.
Is James Harden still holding out hope that Kyrie Irving can play at Barclays Center?

If Kyrie Irving can forgive you for pulling that off, James, Nets fans sure would appreciate it.
While the Nets do get Kyrie Irving back on road games, that's not where they have trouble winning ball games. They're the best road team in the NBA with a 15-4 record at opposing arenas.
But at the friendly confines of the Barclays center, they're a pedestrian 11-10. If Kyrie Irving is able to skirt the home vaccine mandate, one way or another, then the Nets could have the top seed on lock.
