How ironic that this was a CH post and he was spending the entire offseason lobbying to trade James Harden lol
to be fair, Harden was quite the disappointment against portland in the playoffs His play honestly pissed me off so much, good thing he got his head together in the off seasons
In 2011 Harden didn't shoot jumpers off the dribble. How the heck can anyone predict how a player will develop? I had no idea his game would evolve like it has. To think his play now was like it was in 2011 is ridiculous. He's a completely different player. Plus already ate a ton of crow. about 3 weeks after he started his Rockets career.
Can't judge talent and development of a 22 year old sixth man of the year. Should have known with that talent he would have improved and gotten better.
These were during the 2011 lockout ..... against other NBA talent.... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Bmt5O4m7248" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/OWp7T6E8ug8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> There were some indications he was going to become pretty damn good...
To be fair he's a young player in the NBA. Let's see what he does this time around... Because it's obvious he's making an effort to be better. Many great players fail before they succeed. Dude, you should stop while you're behind...
