    What the hell. Hes even self aware about it. He tries to solve his cognitive dissonance by only liking Nets Harden. And people wonder why politics are a mess? We can't even have rational conversations about guys bouncing a ball.

    Rockets and Astros. We are literally the Utah Jazz to the NY fan base. They deserve more for what happened in Buffalo.

    To be fair, I can't remember when Harden had a zero turnover game in H-Town. Not taking away his greatness but he is playing differently with a stronger sporting cast.

    He’s not playing differently. He’s not. He’s not getting FTs and he plays in a bigger market. He has different options now but that doesn’t mean his game has changed at all it had t.

    It's cool with me that the media loves him now, he took a lot of unjustified hate when he was here. He was always held to different standards than anyone else in this league, even lebron.

    When James' 2nd and 3rd best player were 34 years old ariza and headless chicken Corey Brewer he was labeled a choker because he couldn't get them over the hump.

    To me it's just somewhat worrying that people seem to hate the houston rockets for some reason and I'm afraid "the next james" will have to deal with the same ****.

    Just shocked that people flipped on Harden when he went to NY. Glad he’s getting the love now just don’t tell me he’s a different ****ing player. That’s complete horseshit.

    National media bias in favor of the major tv markets is very real. Harden was an MVP talent in Houston and he is an MVP talent for Brooklyn. But somehow because the hot takes were full of bile hatred towards Harden playing for Houston, suddenly Harden magically transformed into a beautiful butterfly mid season and all after the trade. The Nets magic has morphed Harden into a media darling. SMH at the stupid hypocrisy.


    I’m still a huge fan of Harden. What he did on the basketball court is beyond spectacular. What a talent, regardless of where he plays.

    Harden right now most likely a bit worse than he was in his absolute prime from 2017-2019.

    Harden no longer have the burden to have to be the leading scorer every game. He doesn't get trapped at half court anymore. The game is so much easier now that he has a shooters like Kyrie and Harris catching his passes instead of Danuel House.
