    That's why Harden can't shoot anymore.

    Curse those Adidas causing us to lose three games by 20+ points.

    Nope it's because his head got too big for his own good. He did these 3 things this offseason

    1. b**** and whine about Curry being MVP (Curry was deserved MVP and has come out letting his game do the talking)
    2. Talk about his marketing brand and his business
    3. Hang out with that ho Khloe

    He should have done much less of the above and focus more on getting better

    Yes. Let's blame everyone and everything except the people with direct control over what is happening.

    Lil b, Khloe, the shoes....

    Anything else?

    Mentally fragile player who is not one to carry a team through adversity. It's no shock that the Clippers comeback came when he was on the bench.

    Just baffling. He's been terrible in 9/10 games from the preseason to now. He had 1 good game but still shot poorly from 3 if I remember.

    I agree. Let's blame it on Harden's work ethic. I'm sorry, but it's obvious he doesn't have that level that is comparable to someone like Steph or Kobe.

    Harden goes out clubbing, Steph is on the court doing drills. It's that simple.

    Way too reliant on shooting 3s. 10 3pa in a game? You are not Curry, stop trying to be.

    So Lonzo wore harden's shoes last night and posted harden-esque stats: volume scoring (6 for 20), triple double with 7 turnovers. When he wore Kobe's shoes he posted his best game stats-wise. When he wore the BBB ZOs he severely underperformed.

    So this is my question: how much do shoes impact a player's performance, and, more importantly, how much do harden's shoes impact HIS performance?

    You mean a season where he was 2nd in MVP voting, although he should have won if not for the triple double?

    Dream certainly didn't let his shoes impact his performance. He just went out and dominated.

    I knew it was just a matter of time before Lonzo made it into GARM. Sneaky bump.

    I never said harden was a bad player.

    I biasedly think he deserved the MVP.

    BUT, I wonder whether shoe quality has a bigger impact on the sport than we think, and if Adidas manufactures the best performance shoe?
