    You had me until I read "Chris Broussard (A great journalist might I add)". I was done after that. We really had to scrape the bottom of the well to get a positive article about Harden. Kudos for that.

    First of all, there are plenty of criticisms about Westbrook's shot selection. Second of all, major problem with Harden is his lack of effort on the defensive end. If he gives as much effort as Westbrook, he will get much less scrutiny.

    Yeah that made my shake my head a little, but perhaps outside of his 'multiple sauces' he is pretty good? His written work may be decent for all we know. I'm not sure since I ignore anything he puts out there.

    ZERO comments below the article.

    It's a great, knowledgable and well informed article, but it will do nothing to change the public and media opinion of Harden. If the Rockets make the WCF again, then respect ay come back. For one thing, I'll say he's great numbers this year are going to durastically improve under Dantoni. Winning? I don't know.

    Man, people who say Clutchfans don't make a difference. Hmmmmhmmmmmm or whatever - that video of his literally is the root of all this.

    I thought it would give Harden a kick in the ass, and it did for a while. Now he seems to embrace it.

    The Kardashians ruined this team. I guess Harden will be moving to LA

    never seen a more unduly hated player than this dood. i love it though. who else can put up historic numbers and not make an all nba team? the hate is real. let 'em hate. even when y'all buy in to this crap. don't make a difference. we got a special dood.

    The problem with Harden is his effort. You can find Nash and Curry with similar clips, the difference is Harden's demeanor is of one not giving a crap. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't...not a coincidence that's how 99% of the people watching him perceive it as.
