[Shams via The Athletic] Signs of Tension between James Harden, Rockets teammates early on

Rest can be found in thongs.

 

In Tate's direction. Lol. Michael Jordan punched Steve Kerr in the face, then they won a championship. Not worried.

 

You can only take someone at their word. Harden could've ended this nonsense in the press conferences but he kept on with the "next" question bullshit. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. You wanna demand a trade for no reason after getting exactly what you wanted, act like a child refuse to practice take instagram pics at maskless rapper stripper parties in the middle of a pandemic when some players have had 7 family members die from covid. You wanna not talk to the media and when you do everything positive asked about houston is "next question" fine this is what you get. The media will hound him all season no matter what team he's on and god help him if he moves to another team and doesnt win a chip. He's making himself a story he's gonna have to live with it.

 

Shut up, Shams.

 

FIFY

 

What is considered the goods from Denver? Do people actually believe they are offering up both Murray and MPJ?

 

If this is news... remember the Kobe and Jordan level practices where dudes were getting punched. Just lol at this nonsense

edit: patience beat me to the punch lol

 

I'd hope Gordon would be neutral in this. He's also a pretty chill guy, and the Rockets gave his career a new lease on life.

 

did Harden pull a gun on Tate in the locker room?

next question

 

Nah Iko or Bijani gave this to Shams. They are The Athletic’s on the ground guys. If it came from Woj then it would be via MacMahon.

 

The media is instigating where Harden has the best chance of winning a championship is simply getting tiring now. It is obvious Harden is unhappy but translating every little action is just ridiculous.

 

No matter the validity of the story, it’s still a story and a distraction on a locker room already dealing with a star player that doesn’t want to be there.

This is just the beginning until dude is gone. Shooot - Don’t let us start 0-3.

 

yeah, he always stay chill except for driving to the basket n got no-call yelling....lol

 

From what I've seen on the court, Harden seems to like Tate and has instructed him a couple of times..

I think Harden cares about the guy, sees the potential and is pushing him to do better...

This story probably blown out of proportion

Actually, my guess is it's more like Harden, House, McLemore, Tucker, and Wood as friends, whereas folks like Wall, Cousins, Tate, even EGo are people he likely doesn't get along as well with and they aren't especially fond of him.

 

lol anything to stir the pot I suppose. But yet we take the bait all the time . Smh

 

Ah yes. Big bad harden is bullying undrafted Tate. Seriously?

This literally could have been anything, harden pissed at rookie disrespecting him. Harden imitating tates passing ability. Harden getting frustrated. Harden is trying to make tate b more active. Harden teaching him how to pass. There's a sht ton of info missing and some speculate the worst.


All I know is this is a sht story, cause if It was such a big thing wouldn't Silas have mentioned it? Try to ignore the stories and look forward to potential greatness of Wood/harden.

 

Yeah, not cool. A ref is different than a teammate. I mean I am not pro-ball-throwing by any means, I just don't think it is necessarily a sign that a team is irreparably broken.
