    Im not, Ive literally said hes been ass toinight. You on the other hand, hate him...or dont like him and wont admit it.

    Every superstar has flaws, our superstars flaws are simply not good for each other.

    Don't know why they let Harden chase on the perimeter. He can't defend anybody there, he can be a post defender.

    If he was giving effort I would maybe agree with this.

    Harden just seems like he has no desire to be playing.. No idea what's up with him. Westbrook calling him out seemingly fell on deaf ears.

    Yeah and regardless of injury, he's a -13 tonight, worst on the team.

    You know Harden though, none of us would be surprised if he dropped 25 points in the 3rd quarter.

    He is injured. He shouldn't be playing at all.
    We aren't fighting to get into the playoffs.

    He doesn't look hurt to me. The blazers are doubling as soon as he gets passed half court or shading him. We need to defend better and make some open shots and we will be fine.

    I really am tired of the excuses with this team. I really am. The owner. The players. Coaching...management.... they all act like they don't give a ****. What kind of "business" are they running? 2 years ago we were an injury from the finals. Instead of building on that the owner b****es about Chris Paul which makes it contagious. He refused to possibly keep ariza while probably owning his rights. Probably tried to lowball his ass too. I mean da heck has this franchise turned into. This team and owner are a nightmare. I wouldn't be surprised if Westbrook pulled a Pippen this offseason if things don't turn around real quick.

    No he won't, he has been playing super bad for a month now. He really shouldn't be on the court, total liability

    Morey must be thinking about next season already. So many things must change for this team to become a contender it is not fixable this season. He should start hiring a completely different minded coaching staff and players with higher basketball IQ.

    People are so quick to go hard on Harden's defense, but the whole defense has been awful. Nobody is helping Harden guard Lillard, who is quick... and who has been really hot the last month or so. Not to say Harden can't do better, but he still needs help. And this why we need good paint defensive defenders. Our team has had a big problem with the paint defense for about 18 months or so. When the guard runs by our PG or SG, the center or the power forward should be helping to stop the easy run to the paint.... which I feel Capela doesn't do enough of. Besides, we should have been double teaming Lillard to begin with.

    Injury shows also in his defence.
    If you are in pain you can't show as much effort especially if you know that your team needs you to score.

    Maybe Harden should tell WB "Leave Dame alone, Let it go bro!"...
