[Zillgitt] Harden's style created tension between players

Harden's problem is when he's not hitting, he keeps shooting until he makes it. He doesn't allow the offense to flow. If Lawson gets a nice assist, common sense says "let me get Ty the ball to get his rhythm". But Harden's instinct is to keep jacking up shots or driving in the paint with 3 defenders waiting for him

 

No Kidding

Who wants to be led by a guy who spent the off season whining about an individual award.. Instead of worrying about how to improve as a team who was 3 games away from the Finals.

That ain't a leader, folks.

 

EVERY TIME! He does it to Capela all the time and it's so annoying. Like WHY AREN'T YOU PICKING UP MY MAN LIKE DWIGHT WOULD. Harden, stop letting them in the paint. And I'm not a harden hater he's my fav player in the league, I just call it like I see it

 

If Harden was under Popovich the chances are the would still be a 6th man off the bench like Ginobilli.

yES. When he started telling off Capella after it was HIM who blew his assignment it was pretty infuriating.
I can't imagine how pissed off his teammates must be.

And everyone smh blames Dwight. Dwight even if he has bad knees is trying his best to cover for all the perimeter mistakes. And he shows heart and passion.

 

rockets biggest problem is Bev keep getting injuried, according to you if we have Bev, we can win all the games, bev the guy who can do it all

 

My worry is that Harden doesn't think that he is the problem. Harden is on another level of delusion. I can see how annoying that would be to other players. I'm surprised no one has yelled at him for being lazy on D or going off script on offense.

 

well not everyone can speak up to him. He is a star.
You have some rookies and sophomores who are never going to say anything, Ariza who doesn't seem to have any leadership qualities Thornton a vet min guy and Brew who has been playing bad himself. Lawson is the new guy and Dwight isn't a leader either.
It's only Terry.

 

Don't believe everything u read. I doubt anyone on the team immediately called someone from the media to spill the beans on a players only meeting.

 

Has any one brought up Zach Lowe and David Thorpe's podcast today? They crushed Harden for showing up this season extremely out of shape, being a diva, and not even trying on the defensive end. Ugh!

 

Well he has been playing like a jackass

 

Yes, and he quits playing defense in order to fix his offense. At the same time, I feel that he has good IQ
because of his passing ability, but his ego gets in the way, and he starts playing like Kobe.

 

I think by style they mean his D and not his O
