[Player's Tribune] A New Obsession

Rockets are about dat journal life lately. I dig it

 

media conspiracy

 

Harden was always the de-facto point guard. It's just that we had that incompetent doofus McFail making it tough for Harden.

Everyone and their grandma knew Harden would get the ball eventually. McFail would have Bev bring the ball up and then Harden would have to fight for position at the 3 point line to get the ball. He would be shoved, hugged, tugged etc and had to hold off defenders just to get a hold of the F'in ball. You've already lost several seconds in the shot clock doing that.

Now he gets to bring the ball to the front court and can survey the scene and set up plays much earlier

Mike AntoniO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> kevin McFail

 

Harden is transforming.

Really want to see him go head to head against Bron in the next 3 years

 

Haha I can see why 7 seconds or less does not work for Harden..actually we should run way more. We lose a lot of fast break opportunities due to: ppl looking for Harden, Harden walking it up and in general not the skills and mentality to fast break.

 

I feel like the hype in the locker room right now is on another level. Harden and this team are ready to prove themselves against SA with the basketball world watching and not really giving them much of a chance.

 

I realize that these are just words. And that actions speak louder than words. But the talk of being a leader and focusing more on what's best for the team is the attitude a real MVP should have, IMO. A real MVP wouldn't have Spalding as his only friend.

The write up also makes me appreciate Bev even more than before. He's such a crucial part of this team.

 

It was all an ad for juice?

 

Juice? Wtf is juice?

 

Purple drank.

 

Maybe this will give Harden an MVP vote next year

 

I honestly believe the 2014 team could have won a championship if he was point guard

 

Last season really sucked, but it helped Harden to grow as a leader by realizing that he had to be different and do better in order to not let a season like that happen again.

I hope this article and the ones by Ariza and Gordon resonate with Paul George

 

Harden's a journalist now?

Probably voted for Westbrook too...

 

George is a prima donna. Dont get me wrong id take him but he is no.2 on my free agent list.

Hayward > George

 

I'm more than fine with Hayward too, I would love him here...just think we have a higher ceiling as a team with George

 

7 sec or less.....just to cross the halfcourt line

 

In that picture with the quote about everybody doing their part superimposed over it, it would appear that Clint Capela's role is massaging Harden's junk.

 

Harden working that psychology
