    It's understandable. Harden's game doesnt rely on other good palyers. He is the ultimate ISO player and should be your 3x MVP.

    With that said, I don't enjoy this style of play and hopes he trusts his teammates enough to make plays and shots.

    You can't blame one guy. The team is too small and Dantoni likes to take Capillow out and go even smaller. And the Warriors have been better than the entire Conference fot 5 straight years. They have been a better squad than us. Just facts. Could change.

    its not the system. He was in the same damn system a year earlier where he was starring . This season he got slower and pretty much fell off a cliff. He couldn’t do the things he could do before.

    You're absolutely right. The Rockets had plenty of cap space to sign top flight free agents but Harden chased them off. Wait....

    Paul was I believe 7th in the league in time of possession. He had the ball a lot. Gordon has taken around 14 shots per game for us and that’s about 1-2 less than Butler has generally taken in his career.

    Harden may be prepping to go to Miami himself. That may be why he and Butler were talking so much.

    Dwight was never the same after his back injury. Everyone knew it, his best days were far behind him when he was a Laker. He got better here but Josh Smith ruined his knee and that was the last anyone saw of D12. CP3 is a street hustler running 3 card monty. He had fully loaded teams with the Hornets, Clippers, and Rockets. Nothing of any significance other than he hurt himself trying to keep up with Curry when we had the Warriors beat one year. The next year he let broken, KD-less, and sad warriors beat the Rockets so bad that Tilman sobered up enough to see the pyramid scheme Morey is running out of his Toyota Center office. Currently we're a retirement home for players that were good enough but just never broke through. All hail Hakeem the Dream Olajuwon and the two rings he singlehandedly stole from Emperor Stern, Shaq/Penny, and Patrick Ewing.

    I think u are being too critical of Harden, and to put him in the same tier as WB is just fking disgusting.

    He passes the ball to wide open teammates and they can't shoot. Is it Harden's fault he has to put the team and carry if his teammates can't shoot? Is it Harden's fault that no one else can play make except CP3? The fault is the system, Harden has shown he can play team ball, it just the system contains role players who can't do basic things.

    I get people don't like ISO plays, but I find it ironic that the same haters praise Kobe and Jordon for the same exact sht, except Harden is more efficient.

    Lol, if that were true than why did LA try super hard(among other teams) to try to recruit him in free agency then? We only found out through his time here that this was the case. Really? Cp one of the best PGs of all time is that to you. The Hornets were not loaded what? They were good but a lot of that was because of Cp. Clippers, injury ridden Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordon were the other "stars" there. Really? Are you serious, thats what you boil down these two years to. Man...this whole paragraph is just an untrue narrative.

    I don’t get this thread. Do people really care whether some hockey dudes from Dallas want to play here? Short and bow-legged are not exactly good attributes for a hoops player. Plus, thanks to those stupid blue lines, they have no fast break experience.

    Slow down with facts buddy. Lol

    But for real, people kept saying, “Butler’s not gonna come here to stand in the corner.” But when I asked if Eric does that no one said anything.

    Hard to trust your teammates when your front office doesn’t give you guys that you can trust

    Probably Tilman being the one that is actual garbage. I do have a feeling a lot of this is due to him and he’s behind most leaks, drama, etc. he doesn’t know how to handle **** being a new owner ALSO having his 24 year old kid running things with him is bad too.
