    Did you roll the ankle?

    Also, which version of the shoe do you have?

    Each colorway if his shoe has different materials. That’s color hasn’t been released yet so we can’t be sure what the materials of this particular version are, but the ones with leather/suede on the toecap would not stretch like this.

    Harden is definitely improved with his bounce but by far EG is the most improved, it is night and day from last season.

    Harden has got that bounce. A good PJ Tucker head rub is the key!

    Ahh yea it’s easy to roll your ankle in those, the traction is almost too good if you don’t contact the ground right.

    More importantly: consider his supporting cast since he's been a Rocket. Amazing that the average is not closer to 41.

    2012-2013

    The Rockets had 5 players play at least 70 games:

    James Harden
    Chandler Parsons
    Jeremy Lin
    Omer Asik
    Greg Smith

    Harden's Rockets still went 45-37. Dude is flat out amazing at working with what he has.

    You are making the same point twice. The West is another conference.

    Go home, kid.

    He needs to play 35 mins or less and rest more if he don't want another dead cat bounce.
