Pretty scathing article about a divide between James Harden and Dwight Howard

Ten bucks he is a LOF....or even worse, a disgruntled Lakers fan.

 

Yup. I knew it. His scatching review is way too dramatic.

 

LOL so this guy just assumes stuff, makes up a story all by himself, gets to post it on one of the major sports sites, and actually gets paid for it? This is a joke.

 

the only concern I have is what was howard doing putting his back to harden at end when harden was shooting free throws?

Harden was telling him to 'turn around'

I don't think harden and howard hate each other but I definitely don't think they are best buds either. I don't agree it is bad or what but I am slightly concerned that either one of them can go diva pretty much at any point.

I hope they realize the sum of their parts is better and see that the pnr they run is pretty much unstoppable. If they do it like jvg said and at the block. Seems like pnr howard harden at top of key harden is not buying in all the way.

Harden overall is kinda getting a bit too diva but the dude is a freaking awesome player. It was a tough game, heat of moment so I am hoping they are hugging. I get the feeling that harden thinks his crap doesnt stink and I could see that rub howard wrong way. Never as bad as kobe but still it could get annoying.

That hit on lin was pretty bad and I didn't like that no one helped him up. Kinda silly but it is a bit of cause for concern. Not a raging ten alarm fire but slight bit of smoke and it needs to be peed on right now.

 

Saw this earlier and was hoping someone would post it. I almost did myself, under the title of, "Oh wait....it's Bleacher Report".


Just utter bs.

 

As a fan, do I really care if they don't like each other?

Kobe and Shaq didn't like each other. Howard and Kobe didn't like each other. The difference was one pair won 3 titles and the other exited the playoffs in the first round.

Just win, baby.

 

Yeah, Harden was like "Dwight! ! Dwight!! Turn around man, come on!!", but Dwight still kept his back turned to him. You can sense it a little, but I think its just playoff pressure.

 

Bleacher Report, enough said.

 

Us V Them.

Gotta tune out what the haters are saying. It's all done in spite and in an attempt to somehow cause a rift in the team when there isn't one at all.

I think these young Rockets are growing up. They're starting to understand how focused they have to be to win, and part of that is tuning out what everyone else is saying. That goes for haters AND for friends and family. Can't let your ego get too inflated.

 

wth are you guys talking about?

 

I saw him gesturing wildly but didn't realize Dwight is who he was talking to. LOL

 

The writer of that article reached deep inside of his own ass and pulled all of that out. He just made it all up based on his limited outsider perspective.

 

Oden's member unites small countries. What are you talking about?

 

couple of bs points there...

such as Harden putting his hands on Lin, yes he did but he was saying don't worry..he was trying to calm Lin down....

 

saw both Howard and Asik gesture to Harden to hurry up and use the pick they were setting for him. I believe with Asik it was near the end of regulation and Howard in overtime. There's definitely tension just like there is in any situation where you're struggling as a team with a lot on the line.

we have young guys on the team who haven't seen much outside of McHale's system but Howard and Asik have both played under good coaches and understand when an offense is getting stagnant.

but I don't think the locker room is crumbling or any crap like that. playing in McHale's offense is madding enough to make a man slap his own mother.

 

With a last name like that, you'd think he'd be a fan of the Rockets...
