Fun to speculate, but definitely not the root cause. Rockets want to go for the 4 on 3, but if opponent is defending it well and team is cold, run something else. Other guards can bring up the ball, and then pass it back to Harden. He's a grown a man. He can wear his hair how he likes. It's not like the barber put some offensive symbol on Harden's head. Also I am not opposed if he did something like this Spoiler
