    If Harden won the championship this year. The Nets missed the playoffs. The Rockets win the 1st pick in the draft. I'll kiss a donkey's butt and post it on youtube with the link.

    thank you

    If Harden keeps moving off ball like that, he will be the best player in the world... again.

    Tonight Harden has 20 points on only 10 shots.... he has 8 rebounds, 10 assists, only 1 turnover and he leads everyone with a +29.

    It's only one game but Harden has clearly helped Maxey and even Thybulle get good shots.

    Tobias Harris' next contract will be MLE. There aren't any incompetent GMs left like Brand handing out max money to a replacement level player basically. They have to get rid of his contract this summer.

    Harden needs to lose weight/heal his hamstring. He's purely wrecking the wolves without any explosiveness and not blowing by anyone.

    I wanna see a athletic resurgence like CP3

    The 76ers hired a hamstring injury specialist late 2020. He was doing injury prevention in pre-game warmup w him.

    He hasn't really tried to drive that much to the bucket.... he has shown quickness on his step back and coming to the corner for a 3.... but he isn't driving like he did.... it could be the hamstring or it could be because of the spacing issues inside. I was told that the Sixers (Morey) did not think Harden had lost much if any.... which then begs a number of questions.

    Harden also has had to play a different style of defense than he is used to playing.. he has strong defensive teammates next to him, and he has spent some time on Edwards and Beverly and overall had done well but has expended a lot of energy doing it.

    Lets see how he looks in two weeks.

    As for tonight, he had another big game.

    He is now playing for one of the two coaches he wanted to play for and has the executive he is very close to and he has a dominant center that can play inside and out.... another scoring guard on the perimeter and a lock down defender at the 3..... its put up or shut up.... he can be Dominique Wilkins or he can be a top 25 player all time.... its his call.

    There weren't that many this time around, but people worrying about Harden's fit... I mean, he's quirky and annoying, but he's basically a plug & play superstar because he's so elite at scoring and passing.

    He's just elite tier at powering offenses, despite the dribble dribble stereotype. Same way he can take random couch FAs and buyout guys and make them functional players in Houston, he integrates quickly in Bky and Phi

    If Harden slims down to lengthen his career he could have a resurgence.
