    I just want to know what.

    We can infer from body language but I want to know if there is a true story or what is the deal.

    You guys exaggerate what is common in sports. If you have played sports, **** happens. You call guys out and they may not like it, but at the end of the day you are a team. Harden may not like that his name may be called out, but hey he showed up on D tonight and we won. #gohomeguys #nothing2see

    Seeing that one feed in the 4th quarter with Dwight, Lin, Daniels, Parsons, Asik and even Hamilton in a huddle with Harden nowhere to be seen made things pretty apparent.

    Argument happen it's w.e. I have a group of guys I play ball with every Sunday and we would always get in screaming matches and push each other sometimes too but at the end of the day, we would go to wingstop and watch some basketball and laugh about it.

    Even if this is true, advertising it isn't what we need.

    My only problem with the "locker room" this year is that our two best players are at different points in their lives. As silly as Dwight is, Harden is much more immature in terms of becoming an adult. This is obvious. I like the fact that you don't see Dwight in the clubs but instead he's the last one to leave the gym after working out with Dream. It seems like Harden is really enjoying his money and Dwight has been there and done that and now is just focused. That's just my 2 cents and from what a friend of mine tells me he notices sometimes in the Lexus lounge with the players.

    team success goes hand in hand with locker room chemistry. If you are performing well below expectation, it's actually more unusual that the locker room is tension free.

    I'd believe this, i'v noticed very often that our players yell at each other and throw fits, badly too, when players mess up on a defensive assignment, turn it over or miss/take some bad shots.

    Most teams don't do that, or at least that i have noticed, i don't really watch other teams full games that often.

    I believe it, it happen all the time tho, when you are losing, there would be some finger pointing, that's when your team leader needs to step up and united everyone.

    I don't think Dwight has ever been questioned for being not focused. Whether Orlando or here, he has poured it all out on the basketball court, and he has shown he can carry the team to the finals.

    some of you should remember barkley saying years ago that there's always fights in practice. there's bound to be something going on in the locker rooms, esp the way tis team is playing. lin must've got hell after game 4.

    i feel bad for dwight being the defensive beast he is, having to put up with the bad defense this team has shown all season and playoffs. must be killin him
