    There’s a serious chance that next year Jalen will be a more productive player than Harden in only his 2nd year

    Harden is still a productive player with pretty good advanced stats and excellent playmaking…a decent All-Star…probably in the 20-25 range as a player

    his scoring and shot making ability in general has nosedived, but he’s still elite at getting to the line

    seems like he doesn’t even want to try and be a big time scorer anymore…he’s playing 38 mpg since he’s been in Philly, and not even averaging 14 shot attempts a game

    interested in seeing what type of contract he signs next…he and Morey are boys, but Harden’s superstar days are clearly done and he is worth nowhere near a max contract

    the decline is real

    I'm gonna go ahead and declare that the hammy will be used as an excuse for the rest of his career. He's getting older, fatter, and has a ton of miles on him. I don't think he'll ever be more healthy unless he does a serious body transformation.

    Harden is a bum and will always be for flat out quitting. You don't quit regardless of what, especially after you've signed a massive extension. But apparently he quit in Brooklyn and will eventually quit when things get tough in Philly

    Cmon man, why are you trying to do this. He left bro. Is it really that fun to get a bunch of people to hate on him.

    People are going to give him a hard time for this game but Miami guarded him very tightly. He passed the ball well but his teammates just couldn't hit shots.

    They Will because he’s an easy target. But, He’s done my man. Has been for months. Father Time is undefeated and has claimed the Beard. He had a good run, especially here, but it’s time for him to shut it down.

    Yup. It’s better than a Severo y Grupo concert being opened by The Bowl Lady on a Unicycle.

    Wow. “That escalated quickly” ;)


    James Harden ended Thursday’s loss with 11 points (4-of-9 FG), nine dimes, four boards and a steal across 43 minutes.
    Harden scored 11 points in the first half on 4-of-7 shooting before completing checking out of the game after halftime. He finished the second half with more turnovers (3) than shot attempts (2) and scored zero points over the final 27:31 of the contest. The centerpiece of Philadelphia’s blockbuster Ben Simmons trade finished the Eastern Conference semis averaging just 18.2 points on fewer than 14 attempts per contest. He looked disengaged for much of the series and played passively, dishing frequently to teammates rather than trying to get to the basket and doing next to nothing on defense. Harden’s future with the Sixers will be a hot offseason topic, especially after his disastrous playoff performance.

    I'm good with Harden winning a ring with us Jason Kidd 2011 Mavs style. a floor general who isn't expected to be a heavily featured scorer. I think we're a couple of years away from that.

    He’s gonna pick up his 47 mill player option.

    then he has to prove himself for next year. What a difference a year makes

    That's really just a disappointing thing for you to say. I expect that from lower tier posters, but not you man. Let it go.
