With a few bumps on the road, the Brooklyn Nets have made their way to the top. The team is currently leading the Eastern Conference, while also scoring vital wins on the road. With Kyrie Irving back on the court, the Nets seemed to have gotten the boost they needed, easily heading into the playoffs. It goes without saying that the Nets have received ample support, especially after their recent wins. James Harden deserves a lot of credit for that.
Fans, along with others associated with the team, have praised them on Twitter.

Fans had varied reactions to Tsai’s tweet. Many insisted that the team needs a shooter, which would in turn increase their depth. Certain fans countered the claim by mentioning Joe Harris, convinced that he is all the team needs for now. “What could this possibly mean,” asked one fan, looking for some layered meaning behind the Nets governer’s tweet.
Many even spoke of Kyrie Irving, hoping to see a change in his rules. As per many fans, the Nets need Irving to win the title. However, the rules might prevent him from playing in the playoffs or otherwise altogether.
