Kyrie can play at home once again and are the nets now the favorites in the NBA because of it.

We give you our sweet 16 keys to victory and there are no more excuses for Tua and the Dolphins coming up on Crane & Company.

Yesterday we found out that it's looking like Kyrie Irving will actually be able to play home games now after mandates appear to be getting lifted in New York City soon, but I'm not here to talk about mandates or politics.

I'm here to talk about what this means for the nets and the eventual fate of the Eastern Conference.

Getting arrested and healthy Kyrie Irving back with Kevin Durand is like giving Optimus Prime another flaming sword or Aquaman a second trident.

This team offensively will be as deadly as any out there and adding another legitimate scoring option will only ease the pressure on Durant, Seth Curry and the rest of the net squad.

Can they make a run at an NBA championship with just those two though without a doubt they probably could but there's only one big problem and that's defense.

The nets rank in the bottom of the NBA defensively and even with Kyrie playing, they're 8 and 12 overall.

If they can improve those defensive numbers and don't start locking people down like a security guard at Askeban, then they won't last against the top tier of the Eastern Conference in the playoffs.

But having said all that Kyrie is still a witch and getting him back every day is the best thing that could have happened to the nets, a team that has lacked stability throughout the course of the season.

Will they reach the pinnacle of the NBA with Uncle Drew back? I still say no, you can give me the 76ers all day.

I'm going to bring in co-host Blaine and also normal co-host David Cohn is out today for family matters, but we found a replacement Cohn that's way better looking, way smarter and he's miked up and ready to go.

The hair on that cone is top tier. It's phenomenal. What they did in wardrobe in such a short time, working with miracles.

Yeah, and if you're on audio and you can't see us, we took a huge traffic cone from in the parking lot, drew a face on it. I drew the face on it.

You did well. I feel like I really did well. I'm waiting for Tom Hanks to come give us a speech in a museum where it's net.

We start writing pictures of tomato cans and who knows how far it is.

That's what I mean. We can do the Jackson Pollock thing. I'll just start throwing paint on the walls right here.

We'll make millions, but now we're going to be going back and forth to get his takes, really enjoyed talking to him before this show.

But Blaine, something you've talked about, and I do want to say there is no Ben Simmons yet with the herniated disc in his back.

Surprise. Surprise.

The third head of the Hydra is not there. Getting Kyrie back is great offensively. We know that.

Huge.
