With Kevin Durant already playing at an MVP caliber level, this season, Irving’s return is seriously “Scary hours” for the league. The Big Three have not played a single game together this season and the Nets are still on top of the Eastern Conference. It is only a matter of time before Irving’s return improves their chances of making it to the NBA Finals. Every Nets fan is surely excited about this.
