    only saw a couple minutes of this game before I decided to stop...just watched Harden’s highlights and that last 3 he hit on the Sharks at the end of the 3rd quarter...

    Harden is so creative, it’s laughable that people can actually think he’s boring to watch



    How can a player this skilled be boring? Laughabl

    A two way will preclude him from contributing in the playoffs. He is going to get better.

    He isn’t likely to be better than a vet in the playoffs

    No doubt, but he might regress if he spends too much time in the G-League.

    Harden’s creativity and skill shines through no matter what the opponent.

    Who cares? All I’m pointing out is that Harden is fun to watch and very creative...yeah, we all know the Sharks are trash...that’s the exact reason I only watched a couple of minutes of the 1st quarter and decided to go walk my dogs

    he can hang out with Travis Scott all he wants til the real season starts

    That is a new ugly.

    Imma going to search for game highlights as I could not find any here.

    Any game two HOF point guards are playing a mediocre CBA team, it's going to be a slaughter.

    Surprised it is just 44 pt differential and not 60.

    What? Why? He I’ll be playing more minutes than he would with the Rockets and will play better comp than In college. The whole point of the Gleague is development.

    We’ve been going after the wrong jimmy this whole time!

    I’m still shocked given our system why we have not gone after this guy

    Because he's a no-defense, volume chucker, who only shines because he's playing with the Sharks. There hasn't been any NBA team that desperate to give him another chance. I would rather have Rob Gray and we just waived him.

    He couldn’t be any worse then korver. Plenty of guys just used for their shooting.

    Yeah he shot a lot but I’ve seen other games where he had shot more efficiently

    someone has made themselves a 15 year career being a +43% shooter from 3. while the other has been out of the league since 2015

    he isn't a rotational player in the nba, atleast if you're actually trying to win

    Yeah, I can see the appeal. I thought the same thing last year when we played them in pre-season. If I squinted my eyes, I could almost see a Reddick-lite but the reality is, his game doesn't hold up against the NBA defense. I'd almost consider a 3rd-string role for him, but he would only be trotted out for garbage minutes.
