He is expected to return against the Cleveland Cavaliers, which they are playing right now.

But Cavaliers has the lead, with 6 minutes left. And it seems that James Harden is unselfish and let Durant and Kyrie doing the scoring load, but Harden has 7 assists already.

They are closing in on Cavaliers, might be a cliff hanger, so let's see how things work out for the big 3. If they lost, then we might be hearing a lot of negative media on the big 3.

They've lost this game but it's fine since this is the first time these guys playing together as a team. maybe they just need some more games to fix their chemistry and as we can see the score is high on both teams so they were able to catch up with the Miami Heat they can't just beat them maybe because they are missing their shots in the 4th quarter so it ended up in two OTs. nevertheless, this game was fine and good for Miami to defeat such kind of a team, they are really one of the top contenders. If they can just get some straight wins there's some chance to get back in the top 8.

Put the blame on Irving if this team will fail, lol..

We haven't see the big 3 played yet, I think let's give them a little time, it will not work like a magic that the chemistry will be perfect right away.

For the issues I see on net with Irving we can really say that he is the main problem with his  team for now due to his recent activities made, also there are scattered  rumored that he don't want harden to be on their team that's why this adds up the spice on their team. But since we don't see the 3 star played together maybe we cannot tell yet if Irving will became a toxic guy on their team.

Let see if their 2 streak will be cut if Irving will came back or he can add up a huge win to their team since they blend perfectly ass a teammate.

Rumors are not proven, let's see when Irving came back, we might not see it outside the court but we will eventually see it on the court and their record this season. I believe we will not wait for too long anymore, Irving will be back soon and this trio will play for the first time.

The management knows that, we are just the only ones who are expecting a lot from them, an improvement is already okay for this team.

Because they have the most dominant big 3 in the league so I understand those people who are expecting them to win the title (but I'm not one of those people Cheesy). What's the point of forming a big 3 if they will not go for a championship aggressively. Right now, the chemistry is good so I hope they maintain it until the end and no injury would happen.

If you look at the stats of Kelly Oubre Jr. there are 2 steals and 2 blocks while some of what he did defensively cannot be seen in stats.

I've mentioned Kelly Oubre Jr. too mate. Cheesy

Let's not forget the other player that step up on that night too, Kelly Oubre Jr.

.. an improvement is already okay for this team.

Totally disagree with you. Did they put a lot on their bags just for targeting an improvement? No. They want to aim for something big. There is no need for adjustment and make this season a trial. Irving and Durant already played several games together. That's enough. Harden also has experience teaming with Durant even on the pressured time when they reach the WCF. Try to search for the contract on how Nets do some experiment to have these big 3. Start from the contract of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving last season that's why I ended up doubting if they will remain on the Nets next season once failed to win a championship.

Ya, his issues seem to be with his coaches and the media. I’m not sure if his teammates really care. They probably appreciate the extra playing time. Since they’ve been winning it isn’t really a concern about making the playoffs. I’m sure they’ll be fine, but from our point of view Kyrie will remain the most toxic player in the NBA.

So we have to wait and see, if they win a ring that is fine everyone is happy, if they end up losing, we have to see who played how and why it wasn't a win, because Nets certainly do have a team that can win the ring right now and if they fail to do that, they will probably need to work a lot better together.

If they fail to win the ring this season, I doubt we can see the same Nets lineup next season. Not much left to the Nets as they already give everything to acquired their Big 3.

This season is only their last shot. Nets already go all-in on this. Irving, whatever the fuck his problem is should not be totally unfair to the team and his teammates who are putting in lots of work.

Nets is expected to be in the playoffs but they are still not he favorites to win an NBA championship, so I guess even if they will reach the NBA Finals or the ECF, we will still see the same line up next season, that's my opinion since it's the first season they play together and adjustment is necessary.

The management knows that, we are just the only ones who are expecting a lot from them, an improvement is already okay for this team.

I can't say we can put the blame on Irving right away, this early on. I get that he did some mistakes recently, he was absent but we do not know what was the reason he was absent, plus even if it was just because he didn't want to play, which is a bad and unprofessional thing, he is already back so that is over with already and can't be the cause at the end of the season. Not like you are going to be in second round of playoffs Nets against Bucks, and Bucks win, Nets fans go out and say "well irving missed some games 4 months ago, that is the reason we lost!!!" that can't be the reason.

So we have to wait and see, if they win a ring that is fine everyone is happy, if they end up losing, we have to see who played how and why it wasn't a win, because Nets certainly do have a team that can win the ring right now and if they fail to do that, they will probably need to work a lot better together.

It will be great for the team  if this 3 stars  blends together  and put on the show.

We don't  know  what  will  happen as they haven't played together  yet, we are just assuming  but the real  deal is when they'll be playing and see how things  will work with them and how good the coaching staff will handle them. Still aiming  for this trio  to spice up and make  a  good  run this season.

Nets have a 4-win streak now

Yea, Durant-Harden tandem looks amazing, and I guess that Brooklyn will win the next match against the Cavs. Also, we will probably see a big trio in action for the first time because Irving rejoined the team today.
There is a big upgrade with the Brooklyn Nets. From Durant with Irving and now having Harden with the team. The match yesterday against Bucks was a very close match. Two teams that are of my favorites.

I thought that it will become an overtime but their high scoring match just truly shown how both teams were powered up. Props to Giannis on this match, he had played as good as what most fans were expecting to him.

Indeed! We are happy with the new tandem Harden-Duran but let's be prepared for the next NBA match between Brooklyn-Cavs with the kyrie Irving come back. That's what all the B.Nets fans are waiting for and it looks like Kyrie has solved all his personal issues and that's the most important thing, keep his mind 100% in the court and boost the team to the moon! We can not miss that match guys! Wink

Just a heads up... Yahoo mobile is offering live games for free right now as part of their holiday preview special. Enjoy the free games while it lasts. This includes tomorrow’s Nets game that may be the first time you see the new big 3 in action.
Thank you for the heads up Og.
Let see if their 2 streak will be cut if Irving will came back or he can add up a huge win to their team since they blend perfectly ass a teammate.
It was said yesterday to be a "maybe" for Kyrie to play Thursday but I guess that means a higher chance.
-10.5 for Nets to have a better bet. I am taking that.
Let's not talk about the miss game-winner of LBJ since it shouldn't reach that point if they were able to maintain that large lead. The Lakers clearly choked on that game. But that win doesn't change the fact that Warriors will be a contender. It's only Curry that is consistent on the Warriors roster. Others are stepping up on a specific game but will have a different performance the other day.
It's GSW that stepped up which led to a run.
If you look at the stats of Kelly Oubre Jr. there are 2 steals and 2 blocks while some of what he did defensively cannot be seen in stats.
That was the turning point and they are also absorbed in Curry running around leaving Wiggins open for 3 consecutive 3-point shots.

Are you referring to this mobile app?
I'm going to try it later. Hoping I had enough data speed to stream live games. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Nice one yahoo.. but honestly, I'm not using it because I have subscribe to a site that I can watch live games for free, it's been shared here and it works like charm though it like a delayed telecast but I'm okay with it.




We will never know until Kyrie is back, KD and Harden are playing good, so there is a chance that it "might" disrupt the chemistry of those 2. And its going to be difficult for Nash on how to manage the time of 3 superstars.

For me the alpha here is KD, and not Irving. James have settled down beautifully, but still early to conclude although the chance for the Nets to win the East and go to the finals are very high and they could be the favourites if the 3 will blend nicely and developed as a team, unselfish superstars like Harden and Irving.

What the Nets really need is pass-first point guard like Rondo or CP3 and they'll become an unstoppable power house team in the East. I don't think Kyrie would be a good fit for Harden and KD. I could be wrong but I'm judging on Kyrie's attitude when he was in Cleveland with LeBron. But maybe just maybe, he will adjust and become a more matured player.

Yes, that was a good match.
Nets made 17 turnovers during that game and 5 only for the Bucks.
But, it was those 3 points that is killing them. Jeff Green 4/5 and Harris 5/7
Harden's assists are also something new to me. He ain't known for his passing ability but now its way different.


He's now learning how to play the game, adjusting to create space for his teammates, something that really noticeable.
Harden and KD combo in the last dying seconds.

That rebound after he's missed then pass it to KD kills the Bucks, interesting to see once Kyrie start to play with them and see how the chemistry will work for this trio.

30 points and 6 assist for KD, while 34 points and 12 assist for Harden very impressive
plus the supporting cast who also gives them the lift that they needed. Gratz!
Yes, I see how KD and The beard play last night they were unselfish during dying seconds, and good support cast, what I am concern with the nets is Kyrie is out since he has an issue with who is the leader, wherein he wants to be the alpha of the team, will post a threat to the chemistry, kyrie should lay low on who will be the leader, I have seen teams become dysfunction if one member acts or don't want to be under someone, even at work seems work the same, so for Brooklyn to be the best since they have all the pieces, actually they are not big three, this team has big 4 with DJ on the team so if they figure it out, ill say east is for Brooklyn atleast for 2-3 years, or even two championship that is for sure.

Since they've been dominating their last two games, the fans are eager to see those two and I think the most watch game for tomorrow will be the Brooklyn Nets VS Cleveland Cavaliers. If they also dominate this upcoming game then we will see one of the best contenders in the NBA playoffs or maybe in the NBA Finals. Who knows that these guys' chemistry will also improve with Kyrie Irving and they will reach the NBA Championship with that.

Milwaukee keeps coming back, making the game really close and we thought that there is a chance that this game will go into overtime. Damn, Durant with that dagger three, but Bucks has still a chance, they just missed it.

Another high scoring for the duo of Durant and Harden, Durant's jump pull up though, it's a thing of beauty, cross over then jump shot. Giannis really play good, actually the whole team, but it's hard to beat when James and Durant are playing like this, hard to stop them.
