I don't ever quite remember a star player, when not on, ensure losses. Harden is a super net negative when his game fail. Most stars find other ways to win. Harden just camp with sticky feet.
I wish he "hadn't improved" cause that'd mean he'd be the same as last year, which would be awesome. He looks drugged, out of shape, lazy, and I haven't seen him this bad since... well ever.
Someone show Haren this video. This is what true passion and love for the game looks like. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z0i2hMgD1-M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
you're a big supporter of harden i get that. but you're being a bit delusional. since when has he destroyed the league or anything for that matter?
Yeap, close, but not quite. I think Harden is unique in this area.... I consider Melo almost a net negative even when his game is on and isn't that much more a neg when it is off. While Harden, when his game is on, is ultra effective at scoring and dishing, and even up his defense. But when it's off? Might be better to play a 3rd string SG who at least try. BiPolar player.

He never admits he had a terrible game. He needs a reality check. Sure his game is bound to rebound, but we don't need a YO-YO for a leader. We had that in the playoffs last year and the real MVP showed the YO-YO how to shoot behind the arc under pressure. I want YO-YO to show us why he is who he says he is consistently.
And I actually thought he deserved MVP last year. This guy is a joke. Steph curry makes this guy look like a bum.
mid season even if he's destroying the league it will bother me he think its ok to give up...and let it show in the most obvious of ways. Your winners in the NBA, Kobe, Lebron, Jordan, Bird, Magic, even the lesser players would never exhibit this demeanor. He REALLY needs to discipline himself.
That's the most disheartening aspect of all of this. Not the struggles on the court....that kind of stuff happens, and can be remedied. What bothers me is that it's clear he didn't take a damn thing away from last year's experiences in terms of just how ****ing difficult it is to be a champion.
