    This team is a hot mess right now. The coaching and player rotations are suspect, Wall has been meh, Harden has checked out, etc. Just a mess.

    He's right. Harden does absolutely nothing when he doesn't have the ball in his hands. I remember him saying one year that the wishes they had more of an offensive style the Warriors had. Yet he doesn't move his lazy ass on offense.

    If you would have told me last year or **** anytime in the last few years that I would prefer John Wall as a rocket over the beard I would think you’re nuts

    thank you 2020 for turning the world upside down . . .

    McHale was also smart enough to sit Harden's quitting ass on the bench in G6 and ride with those who wanted to compete.

    That's not the kind of player who Harden is.... or who he should be. He's a player who should be having the ball in his hands the most. When he does, he tends to drop 40 plus a night. He also tends to have a lot of assists. When Wall has the ball in his hands, he doesn't really offer much. He's not a big scorer.... and he doesn't really pass the ball all that much.

    Wall threw Harden and PJ under the bus because they deserve to be thrown under and run over a few times. Wall is trying, he competing, those other two...

    All-Star big man? No

    Wood looks horrible if it’s not an alley oop, and he can’t play a lick of D so far

    Harden could be playing next to Embiid who can get his whenever he wants and play elite D, and u think he will be excited with Christian Wood?

    Iso ball will never win a championship imo. I'm sure Silas feels the same way which is why he's trying to move away from it as much as possible, but Harden refuses to buy in even though he's requested it in the past.

    You would still be right to call anyone nuts if they prefer Wall over Harden.

    Didn’t John Wall want to leave Washington not even 2 months ago?



    nobody questioned him

    Harden has his reasons for wanting out...this team is nowhere close to being a contender

    at best they get into the playoffs and get annihilated by the real contenders

    James has won more than Wall has.

    It probably wouldn't win you an NBA championship. But, we're a much better team if Harden is running the point. Wall and Harden seem generally confused when they're out on the court together.

    Is it really hard to believe that the same guy who showed up late to camp overweight after eating honey buns with lil baby and carelessly broke COVID protocols because his friend was becoming a boss is the same guy who never bought in and is quitting right in front of our eyes?

    Harden has done nothing when he has the ball he quit.
