The Brooklyn Nets are on a roller coaster ride right now. In the last 3 days they have lost to the Washington Wizards who have the worst record in the league, and yesterday they beat the LA Clippers, who have the best record in the league.

The Big Three of James Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant has looked effective so far. All the 3 players at one point of time were the go-to guy in crunch time in other teams.

With the three of them playing together, the biggest question that emerges is- who among Harden, KD and Kyrie will take control now. 3-time Champion Dwyane Wade shared his thoughts on this recently.

In a recent appearance at NBA on TNT, Wade why he prefers James Harden to control the ball in crunch time. He said, “I feel that it should who should have the ball late in games to like really run off it should be James Harden.”

He added, “I personally think he does a great job of giving everybody involved and we know he can score 60 when he wants to.”

Wade added, “I need somebody who can create offense can create movement, yeah, body movement, by his ability to break down a defense ability to create files late in games, so forth and so on.

“So for me, if it’s a bucket, give it a KD whatever its down the stretch. If I need somebody that can control this thing for me, I want James Harden with the ball.”

The Nets have some of the best players in the NBA. All three players over the years have succeeded under enormous pressure. Irrespective of who ends up with the ball, teams will be aware of the threat they bring to the fold.

Can James Harden win his first Championship with the Brooklyn Nets?

The Brooklyn Nets, at least on paper, look like a formidable side with the Big Three of James Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant. With such offensive juggernauts, the Nets surely are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.

On the court, however, things have been pretty different for the Nets. They have looked unstoppable in the offensive end and since the Harden trade, they have been the best team offensively.

Defensively, they have been a big mess in the league. Since the trade, they have been the worst team in defensive efficiency. This is certainly a big concern moving forward.

They showed promise in some of their outings, but dismal defensive displays are a cause for concern. They need to make some defensive moves as soon as possible.

The Nets, however, have some big positives from their new signing, James Harden. Despite finishing the last three seasons as the highest scorer, Harden has taken a step back and become the facilitator for the league.

Ever since his debut, Harden has been averaging 12 assists per game. The Big Three are looking like a cohesive unit at offense. All they have to do right now is figure things out in their defensive unit.
