    KD is always injured. Harris is always injured. Kyrie will not get the Wax and no home games and the nets depth is pitiful. He is back to his role in Houston with far less talent and a bad coach

    Maybe he should look up to Giannis and stop expecting a chip to be handed to him by other stars instead of going and getting it himself..... Everywhere he goes he could could potentially run into injury problems... He can only run from his playoff inefficacy and failure for so long..

    So much doom and gloom in here. Look at the bright side he’s leading the league in turnovers again. On his way to winning 7 out the last 10 turnover titles.

    It’s almost like you’re trying to say LeBron and Harden are the same age, played the same amount of years and games. Weird. How many more games has Lebron really played in comparison to Harden? LBJ averages 3.5 TO per game for his career. That’s hardly bad considering his usage and far off from winning a turnover title.

    Keep pretending like you’re ignoring me. You bums love me.

    6.7 assists to 3.8 turnovers is deplorable. That’s a 1.76 ratio. Absolutely pathetic for a point guard/primary ball handler. That will never translate to winning basketball when it matters and it sure hasn’t.

    Giannis had Middleton, Holiday and a bunch of the best role players in the league. Harden has been forced to carry the likes of bembery, brown and other fedex drivers pretty much all year with KD injured and Kyrie doing whatever he likes. Get real.

    KD played in 36 of the Nets first 42 games and was by far their best player. Nets were 1/2 a game from leading the Eastern Conference.

    Its now 4 games since KD's injury and the Nets are still only 1 game back despite losing 2 in a row and going 2-2.

    It'll be interesting to see what their record is when KD returns in a few weeks.

    Here is that list from @jordnnnn ranked by turn over rate. Harden is ahead of Kobe at least! But yea, dead last in terms of PGs. Lebron certainly is way ahead of him - ahead of his own PG Westbrick in fact. I guess that's why they call him the King.

    John Stockton
    Mark Jackson
    Jason Kidd
    Steve Nash
    Magic Johnson
    Isiah Thomas
    LeBron James
    Russell Westbrook
    Scottie Pippen
    Reggie Theus
    James Harden
    Allen Iverson
    Dwyane Wade
    Kevin Garnett
    Kobe Bryant
    Paul Pierce
    Tim Duncan
    Charles Barkley
    Karl Malone
    Shaquille O'Neal
    Hakeem Olajuwon
    Robert Parish
    Patrick Ewing
    Dwight Howard
    Moses Malone

    Appreciate your position while plotting your promotion.

    Doesn't seem like Harden understands that. People in tough relationships look ahead to a time when they are no longer in the relationship. They worsen the relationship when they do and ruin any chance of reviving it. The "I know what exactly we need to do" comment did not come out of nowhere. He was already checked out and in his head with that relationship and that contributed to his performance, the outcome, and the mistake of bringing Westbrook in.

    Who knows, maybe a change in attitude, being ALL-IN, wouldn't have changed the outcome of any past season and wouldn't make a difference this season. But, it's a guarantee that he would have had better games, fewer stinkers, on an individual level and that could have inspired his teammates to do better. This season, the Nets have a chance even if Kyrie only plays away games because they are clearly the favorites when they are all playing well together.

    James quitting again huh? Rockets fans have seen this story play out before. Is this Tilman's fault too?

    Finds himself in the situation he forced his way out of.

    When Harden came to Brooklyn to form the NBA’s latest super team, he probably wasn’t expecting to start games alongside Mills, Bembry and rookies Day’Ron Sharpe and Kessler Edwards in a regular-season game against another playoff team. He probably wasn’t expecting to close games with Bembry, Mills, James Johnson and Claxton. But that’s where he found himself Tuesday because of COVID-19 and Brooklyn’s current injuries. Durant isn’t expected back until after the All-Star break, and the timing of Joe Harris’ return from ankle surgery remains uncertain. Harris’ original timeline of six to eight weeks came and went as the 6-foot-6 marksman suffered a setback and was in Indianapolis on Monday getting a second opinion on his ankle. Nash said after the game that Harris’ seeking another opinion was “standard.”

    Harden dismissed the reports, but the talk of Philly’s fondness doesn’t appear to be going away, especially if Simmons isn’t moved by the Feb. 10 trade deadline. Neither is Harden’s frustration in Brooklyn unless the Nets can find him some help before Durant and Harris return.

    I, too, want to know what this turnover rate is all about. We got Turnover %, estimating turnovers committed per 100 plays but I don't know about turnover RATE.

    I'm loving it. LeBron wanted his superteam and now he doesn't like it. Harden wanted his superteam and now he doesn't like it.
