Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks will go toe-to-toe to decide their fate. We have the two most beautiful words in the NBA: Game 7, a win-or-go-home scenario where there’s no room for error.

This series has gone back-and-forth with no team getting a clear edge over the other. The Bucks have been able to make the most of Kyrie Irving’s injury to hang in there and keep their season alive.

That’s why having James Harden back to his usual self will be key for the Nets to have a chance to close this out at home. And, according to his latest statement, it seems like he’s getting better and will be less limited in Game 7.

James Harden Says He’s Getting Better And More Comfortable

“It’s not even about rust, it’s about being able to move,” Harden told Marc Berman of The New York Post.“Day by day, I continue to get better. Last game, Game 5 was first time I did any movement since I got hurt. Tonight was no different. I’m out there to do whatever it takes to win. I got to be better on both ends of the ball, which I will be for Game 7,” Harden said regarding the injury.”

Harden has tallied just 21 points and 15 assists in his past two games combined. He’s barely sprinting and hasn’t been aggressive, so him saying that he’s getting back to 100% is huge news for the Nets.

Steve Nash Lauds James Harden’s Effort

“He made some shots,’’ coachNash said. “He did some things. He had steals, assists. He was better tonight but it’s tough. He’s really limited. He can’t do a lot of things he’s accustomed to doing. It doesn’t appear he has any setbacks. If anything he played a little better. But it’s a tough, tough position for James trying his best but not being able to do what he normally does (…)You don’t want him get another injury, a longtime injury, a recurrence. But you respect the heck out of him. He wants to play and lay it on the line for teammates even when he’s not 100 percent.’’

The Nets will need at least two of their superstars to make it past the Bucks, let alone make the NBA Finals. Hopefully, Harden will put on a show and Game 7 will be a thriller.Injuries are the worst part of the game but hey, that’s just the way it is.
