It seems like James is playing hurt

Yea this is silly.

He needs to take a month off.

 

He’s broken. Send him for repairs.

 

This is pathetic.

 

I would say it almost has to be injury because Harden hasn't had a bad stretch this long since pre mda. He's playing at reduced efficiency but we are still giving him a huge volume.

 

I would say 2017 playoffs he had a similar horrible stretch shooting well below 30% from three.

 

which one 16-17 or 17-18 ?

If its the 16/17 vs SA then i would agree he was bad ... but i really do believe the concussion theory.

If its 17-18 playoffs all i can say is maybe the shooting was bad but he was great for us on both ends that whole season and in the playoffs

 

16-17. Harden wasn't shooting great in 18 but he was much better than he is now at things beyond scoring such as hustle on defense.

 

Injury plus Kobe death

 

He is tired. Look at his eyes he is halfway sleep walking. Kobe was a mentor and big brother to him. James will get it together but he needs some lower minutes and some games off

 

I think you guys are dreaming, there is more going on here than some nagging injury, his head isn't in the game at all the last month, wondering if he has some mental/emotional thing going on that has his head warped ... His game play, his game IQ, his laziness, jumping on fellow players fro his defensive lapses, his in game apathy ... think more is going on than just some minor injury. If he was really hurt he wouldn't be able to suit up and go out on the floor

 

A lot of players insist on playing with injuries and through pain.
It may have affected him mentally too, which is to be expected to an extent.

But it is obvious that he is far from healthy.

 

Rest him until after the All Star break and lets roll with Russ.

 

MDA should sit harden for couple of games , this dude is obviously hurting us.

 

Then there was no reason in the world for him to be out there tonight, I'm telling you I think there is way more to this than some nagging injuries

 

I think we have seen enough and it is clear that this team with MDA and Harden is not going anywhere. Seeing Harden play at this level without anyone putting him in his place is disgusting.

 

The allegedly very hurt James Harden played 38 of 48 minutes tonight

 

And down 20 he still wants to check In. If he’s hurt or whatever that’s definitely not helping his own case

 

You know for a fact as soon as Harden starts carrying us again the Harden haters will be back to kissing his ass, or they'll go back into hiding.

We've never seen this board so active since Harden's been on his slump. The hate he gets from his own fans is unreal.

 

To be fair harden has never been in a month long slump. So if it’s a first there’s the actual reason
