    UPDATE:
    <HR>

    And here we go... (ESPN First Take will be interesting to watch tomorrow)
    National Media will go nuts over this.

    This may be the only way to get to Harden by hearing it from Dwight.
    We'll see how this plays out moving forward.

    The headline spin on this article is ridiculous. He said what any player would say after his team played this poorly.

    I'd be more concerned if he was happy with the effort.

    Dont know why he's so mad its early. he needs to get a grip. games like this happen. there's so much time. Teams like the Heat lose games to bad teams all the time. injuries! why would he b**** with a top record in the west. Remember when the Heat were 9-9. We are a great team!

    Like I said in the game thread, Dwight looks like a hypocrite with this criticism with some of the lack luster efforts he's been giving lately. Practice what you preach on a consistent basis Dwight or your criticism will fall on deaf ears.

    He and McHale are calling him out without saying his name. It's so obvious...

    As I said in another thread, replace "we" with "harden" in almost all the Dwight's and MCHale's sentences and you get what they want to say.

    someone had to say it. Harden just cowers and runs cause he can't handle the criticism. At least people like Dwight and Melo and just come out and tell it as it is.

    Imagine being the star player, having a horrible game, then you ditch your teammates and say "ehhh i'm going home, you answer the annoying questions!"

    Way to endear yourself.

    Both Harden and Howard are poor leaders and need to grow up.

    Heh? Dwight's not saying there arent games you dont play poorly, all he said was you have to give it more effort.

    Read what he said, it's not about losing. There are games where things dont go your way and you lose. Then there are games where you dont really try that hard to win. The latter is unacceptable.

    Howard speaks like a leader after the loss, harden runs out of the building ASAP . Smh guess we know who the leader of the team now is.

    I love Harden and I am a huge fan of his but his antics are very immature.

    Plus his late night partying before the clippers game in LA which many of us guessed may have been the case is downright horrendous.

    Grow up Man. You have all of the tools to be a leader. BE ONE!
