I know Harden and Embid will work, but I'm excited seeing Harden and Tobias Harris working the two man game. Harris can shoot and roll to the basket.
Here is the thing . . .. . Harden unlocked Claxton, Brown and several Nets that I had not heard of before he got there I think he will have a similar affect for Philly. This is where Iook at the difference in the trade Does Ben do that for those role players? Kyrie has not done it to this point IMO Rocket River
Somebody start hiding the philly cheese stakes, Harden and Daryl are going to have a race to an infarction.
https://open.spotify.com/episode/1gn8Ipy1HXSHBiGWKURiqE?si=DGkh5vD_R8uKye3Q2pO3Zw&nd=1 Shams: (Harden/Simmons) When did this deal come together? From Philly’s perspective, they were trying to be patient with the process. They knew the guy they wanted (Harden). Week before the deadline is when Harden started to sit games with what the team said a hamstring injury. There was reason for people in the locker room to doubt whether he had a hamstring injury. It was a week before the deadline where Brooklyn understood if we have a guy that’s checked out and the whole locker room knows it, we have to address it. They could have played out the year and probably had a toxic second half of the season. He has a game in Sacramento where people in that locker room were wondering did he quit on us? It would have led to a toxic second half. … Both sides, it was inevitable. Matter of now or in the offseason. Any indications what turned him off to the situation in Brooklyn? Biggest thing was the inconsistency. He wanted to go to Brooklyn and thought he was joining a super team. He might have thought winning would come easier. When he went there and saw Kyrie in and out of the lineup, when Kyrie came back, the inconsistency of the lineup, Durant then being hurt…I always think if Durant wasn’t hurt, would things have been different? Could they have found a way to handle this situation? Would Harden had not been upset to the point he wanted to leave? There’s always gonna be what-if that hovers around this team. The biggest thing was inconsistencies within the lineup and style of play. Harden has a very, he is an acquired taste when it comes as a player. He wants the ball in his hands. He loves to play his brand of basketball from his Houston Rockets days. That’s not something that Durant and that organization, Kyrie and Nash, that’s not what they want. I’ve had people tell me the coaching staff would literally have to change the game plan when he’s on the floor vs when he’s off. When he’s off, it’s totally different. It’s free flowing. There was a period when Kevin Durant led this team with a bunch of role players. Durant and that whole organization saw when it’s free flowing, the game is funner, it’s a better environment and both sides understood that’s what we want to be. Harden wants the ball and there’s a brand of basketball that Durant/Nash want to play that isn’t that. Where does Durant stand? How does he feel about James dipping? Biggest thing I think Durant and Kyrie and that whole locker room, there’s been such an importance on winning and trying to win a championship. He felt this was a championship year. … … … (Harden’s future) He was going to opt in. The paperwork was filed but did not beat the buzzer. He still has the option to opt-in and then extend. He can get up to 5-years, $275 in extension or does the organization persuade him to opt out and sign a deal like Chris Paul. We’ll see what happens. I still think the intent is to opt in. This is where he’s wanted to be. Oh word? @Asian Sensation @Salvy https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-re...hris-paul-termed-unsalvageable-200951028.html https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...amn-turmoil-unsettling-vibe-surrounds-rockets https://theathletic.com/989763/2019...les-and-stars-to-mark-this-summer-in-houston/
Harden needs to shave his beard, facial hair don't look right on a female..... As long as he keeps acting like everyone else is the problem he will continue to be laughed at by the real super stars of the league. Dude needs to humble himself and be a team player... If he fails in Philly Morey won't be able to save him and I doubt anyone will want anything to do with him.... Last chance....
It’s funny in the Morey and Harden thread in the GARM there’s fanbois thinking Jimmy Butler was actually going to come here. He’s the last player that would wanted to play with Harden. He would’ve lost his MFing mind standing around in the corner watching Harden’s dribbling clinic waiting to get the ball occasionally with like 3 seconds left after he dribbled the ball flat cause he’s not a 3 point shooter. Besides, the dude is an alpha and one of the hardest workers in the game. Harden’s passive aggressive, try only when he feels like it, point fingers and blame others when the going gets tough and insistent partying ways would’ve set up a collision course cause Butler ain’t no biitch.
Harden can finally take it easy instead of trying to solo carry teams into playoffs. I hope Harden wins one so Asian sensation hater boner can finally go away. Too much hatred in ones body isnt good for said poster. Harden success this time has no impact on the Rockets whatsoever. Unless u count eliminating the Nets.
Been saying since 2016 that’s he’s not Championship material. Still undefeated 5 years later. Ain’t nothing changing this year chili boi.
There's not a single person on this board that loves Harden to the level at which he hates him and yet he's constantly bringing up "hArDeN fAnbOis". I think his hate runs deeper than anything basketball related. I'm almost certain his sister or ex is one of the strippers that spread their cheeks for Harden on a weekly basis. There's no other reason to have that much hatred in your heart for another man. Either that or it's mental illness. Perhaps both.
