The Brooklyn Nets season has been all over the map, filled with drama on and off the court. Nets superstar point guard Kyrie Irving publicly announced his stance against receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Due to rules in New York City, it kept him from playing home games all year. Despite that, the Nets came out hot this season, behind Kevin Durant and James Harden. But injuries and inconsistent play caught up to them. Harden appeared to have quit on the team, and was eventually traded to the Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons. Simmons is yet to play and recent reports have the possibility that he might not return this season. Nevertheless, Brooklyn has the talent and championship experience to finally bring a championship to the Nets organization.
So, let’s take a look at the three reasons the Brooklyn Nets will make and win the 2022 NBA Finals.
3 Reasons Why the Brooklyn Nets will Make and Win the 2022 NBA Finals
3. KYRIE IRVING
News broke on Wednesday that the rules in New York City are about to change. Irving is going to be allowed to play home games as well as road games.
That is a massive shift in the Eastern Conference that cannot be understated. Kevin Durant is considered by most to be the best all-around basketball player in the world right now. But even the great KD needs some help.
The league has changed and you need at least two superstars in today’s NBA to win a title. It is going to be really tough for the Nets to hold home-court in the playoffs against some of the east’s elite teams. Holding home-court without Irving would have been nearly impossible.
