He's become one dimensional and has lost his desire to attack the rim consistently, and when he does, he doesn't get much explosion to do so. I guess he's hurt? Tired? Regressing? I don't know. But he has not been an elite player in 2020. Rockets don't have much of a chance in the playoffs with this version of Harden.
Great point DD the dude looks exhausted physically and mentally. With small ball he can't conserve energy like before. Hopefully he can figure it out but I really want to see Harden dominate again
I agree to the fact that there are certain sacrifices all winners make and Harden does make about 75 percent of those sacrifices.
With Russ putting up damn near 30 a game that tired excuse doesn’t fly. Maybe dribbling 50,000 times spas his energy? Smh
I think every time Harden gets into an argument with someone it messes with his head and he starts playing like ****. He should just stop talking and making statements to the media if he is gonna play like trash afterwards. Has he had an efficient game since he clapped back at Giannis? Jesus. MDA shares a lot of the blame too he needs to nut up and tell Harden to get his head in the game. Pringles always lets the inmate run the asylum thats why crap like this keeps happening.
I think this team does not have a center become not suitable for harden to play. His statistic drops too much. MDA should strive the balance, he can start our tall center in the 1st quarter. It just gives u one more method to play. Only small ball and 3 points, I will say, if u grab 50 rebounds u lose a lot of energy. How to have power to shoot? It will keep missing. MDA should not play 100 percent small ball in the game.
Morey needs to sit down with him and get him fixed. Lose weight, see a sports psychologist, whatever it takes.
Right?! Knee jerk thread. It’s the freakin clippers, during the regular season, in LA. They’ve had a whole season to figure it out... we just acquired Westbrook and we’re sitting pretty. James one of the smartest players in the league... Westbrook is all aggression... they gonna find the balance. James gonna bounce back... he doesn’t load manage like the tauted Kawaii leonard or paul George. We’ve beaten the lakers, clippers, Boston, with this lineup.
Give me Giannis and his (only dunks no skill) Over James and his so called skills.... I’ll take Giannis
Same people that type "HarGod" are the people dogging him now... I will honestly say I've never been high on him, even through the MVP years... I always had a problem with his mannerisms and tendencies more than his game... He's offensively great but nothing else.. I'm sure he works hard but IMO for selfish reasons..
Harden is the most coddled superstar in the NBA. The team protects and defends him even after he QUIT on the city vs San Antonio.
