Is anyone going to acknowledge that James Harden is obviously injured?

Steph Curry if this was college basketball.... This is the NBA, point guards don't win championships.

Harden played well last night. He tipped a lot of passes on D and I freaking loved that charge on ZBO, the anticipation was legit.
I don't get those calls on 2K when I know what's up, frustrating.

Gave his teammates ample opportunities to shine from good passes out of double teams and shading. On to the next.

 

I do think there is something physically that is limiting him. That shoulder maybe ?

I notice he is losing control of the ball more then usual and his drives with the outstretched arms is not happening at a good rate. Somethings not square here.

 

He did setup a bunch of shots that did not fall at all. Whole team was rubber legs me thinks.

 

I don't believe that. Goran Dragic has been carrying his team at Eurobasket 2013 and then promptly jumped into the NBA season, being the man most of the nights with Bledsoe injured and playing like a boss. Yes he was spent at end of the season, but we're talking END of the season. Not 11 games in.

I'm sure it's something other than stamina.

 

Guys like Pap and Ariza need to help orchestrate or at least make cuts to the basket. Why are cuts no longer fully implemented? The defense is just too good at stealing these days? But cuts make a playmaker's job much easier.

 

Ariza isn't a great finisher and I haven't seen anything from Pap to make me think he would be either. Neither can facilitate. Ariza is flat out awkward with the ball in his hands.

 

this.

4th game in 6 nights for us, 3 on the road (including mexico), and already the 3rd back to back this season. the entire team has no legs and it is showing. having today off and hopefully sitting the 4th against the lakers (who are playing us on a back to back) should help them recover and find their legs again

 

simple. hes been shooting poorly since he started use those tapes. bc hes injured.

Honestly. What the **** is wrong with him? I'm one of the biggest harden supporters you will find, but I can't support this garbage play. If you're ****ing hurt, rest for a week. You're looking pathetic out there!

 

Something has to be wrong because right now the best 2sg in this game is wearing # 24 and he is heating up and that is bad for the Rox team...

 

Harden definitely has looked bad since the upper body injury that caused him to get taped up.

 

The only thing that is hurt is Harden game he is overrated in terms of thinking he's the best shooting guard in the game. I'm a rockets fan but truth is Kobe is better. Tonight he just proved it again.

 

Lol your insane. Go root for the Lakers

 

Clearly Harden is hurt. When was the last time he's even dunked the ball?

 

Not about rooting for the lakers it's about star players growing up and maturing. Not making turnover after turnover late in games. Some stars can't even show up to big games consistently. Put the bs aside and do what it takes to have success that's something worth cheering for versus cheering blindly in hope of bs.
