    just not seeing the same player at all. Airballing, shots hitting the side of the rim, UGLY bricks, not to mention his below average free-throw shooting

    Yup. Harden's days as a star are finished. RIP. Gone but not forgotten.

    lol he just doesn't give a ****. He chooses when he wants to try and when just gives up. And then he'll start barking at and yelling at other players on the team...I love him but Harden is so hard to watch sometimes.

    LOL, is he a superstar if his legs are done 15 games into the season irrespective of the load? 15 ****ing games....

    As @Mr. Clutch would say, he needs to get in shape and stop being fat. Stop partying and hitting the bottles and strip club hoes, take care of his body, diet and get proper sleep.

    Its not all about the numbers man. Are you watching this game? He wasn't giving any effort for the first 3 quarters.

    I'm really happy with Clint's growth both physically and maturity wise on the court.

    15 pts so far in the second half and almost a triple-double through three quarters. ok... yeah... he's run into the ground. a triple double means nothing apparently. besides shooting a bit better, what is he not doing?

    be reasonable.

    He actually played better in the last 4 minutes then he did earlier in the game so not sure how you're theory has any legs.

    time to accept that he lost most of his athleticism... definitely not as explosive as 2 or 3 years ago. I agree that he became a lot slower since last season... I hope some ppl would realize that and cut him some slack on defense as well... it's not that he's not trying, but he's just too slow to be a good perimeter defender. his post up defense is much better tho, that's not a coincidence

    He was never explosive to begin with. Hardens game or speed is based side ways movement and his foot work. He has not lost anything in that department. He is just having a rough patch interms of shooting. You are looking for things that don't exsist.

    He's definitely tired and he's also lazy with the whole "walking the ball up the court" shtick.

    It doesn't matter. He's still one of the top 5 players in the world.

    It's okay for him to be tired, he has to do a lot.

    nah, Harden was never as explosive as Westbrook, but he still could blow by his defender pretty easily in OKC or early Houston days... now you rarely see that. I kinda think he became too 'bulky' for a guard. maybe too much muscle is slowing him down? i dunno

    he's a really big guard when he first came to houston he was pretty skinny but it's a good thing he doesn't rely so much on his explosiveness like westbrook does his game is just smoove and a little slower paced but he will be fine.

    I actually think his style of play is gonna keep him healthy in the long run. He's not damaging his body by sprinting everywhere and trying to dunk every chance
