They clearly mean Harden is not the same. He's changed with the fame and fortune. He's ISO'ing all of his teammates and just worried about getting his own out on the court. Stats over chemistry and victory. TANK. What's the point? Warriors have like 95% chance of winning it all, the rest is Clevland or San Antonio's chance. We have no chance at all of winning it all and isn't that the purpose? Pull a Spurs in 97 and tank for our Duncan. #BENSIMMONS
Agreed. Pretty sure that Harden is more interested in enjoying his $200 million dollar shoe deal and the Kardashian lifestyle than winning championships. He is still putting up points, but shooting under 40% and has completely stopped trying on defense. He's more likely to be hanging with Steve Francis in 5 years hitting crack pipes and getting his gold chain snatched at night clubs than holding up a championship trophy.

I'm watching the replay, Howard sets a pick for Harden, rolls... Harden doesn't even look his direction and passed out to the opposite wing.
My god this season has been an epic disaster.. not even the biggest critics/pessimists could've predicted such a pathetic display of ineptitude. What's alarming is we have the 9th highest payroll in the entire frigging league and yet we're one of the worst teams in the entire league, it's almost unfathomable that this team is where it is right now. We hard-capped ourselves in order to be a lottery team folks.. wow.
Contender for worst post of the week. Try watching games instead of blaming the Kardashians for the inability of the role players on the team to hit shots. This team would suck even with Curry on it.
The one and only thing keeping him on the roster for this long is his contract. At some point the Rockets will cut bait. I don't think Lawson is the sole reason for the collapse but he's a big part of it.
