James Harden got into an argument with a reporter after his media session

Can't be fun for him to talk to reporters after the way he's played. Get the "reporter" out of the locker room. Was it Wexler or Clanton?

 

With the way it goes. I'll make Howard the focus point of the team. Surrounds him with shooters and playmakers. Harden can come off the bench to play his iso ball.

 

Fran Blinebury...btw since Clutch wont say it

 

James is spoiled and thinks he's da king.

 

And you didn't tape it? I need to hear it...for laughs...we desperately need laughs right now

 

He just needs to play. He already called out Mchale by saying he was off rhythm because he had almost a week off before game one...

 

isn't this really the first time harden has really faced any real criticism as a rocket from the media?

now he isn't the media darling and he can't the heat?

 

fixed*

 

Well I guess him giving a damn about something is an improvement.

 

Yeah, the defense honestly did not seem like as much of a problem tonight. Contained Lillard and contested LMA down the stretch enough to cool him off. Asik and Dwight were great in the paint. We were just lost on offense because the go-to guy that we've relied on has gone ice cold. This has to be something mental for him. He's got no confidence.

 

Looked calm and professional post game answering questions from other reporters. Apparently Blineberry was badgering Harden about his shooting....like asked the question 3 times....and James got fed up with it.

Understandable given how the game just went. Fran B. is an @ss.

He's seriously just said he's not worried about his offense and blames the teams defense? The fk? Harden, you really rub me the wrong way tonight. The way I see it it was you who lost us the damn game, AGAIN!

 

Did he flop while answering the questions? Or did he go hard back at him without flopping?

 

Well, as long as Haren didn't say "DON'T TALK TO ME, ALRIGHT?! KNOCK IT OFF!"

He is frustrated I get it. He needs to take this and use it as motivation. Yeah we're down 0-2 ,but it's done!! Nothing we can to go back and change it. There is something we can do about the next 2 games in Portland and that's back our home court!
