    Why aren't there any. I'm tired of his act and would like to know why he isn't being taken to task for his suck ass effort on defense. It's not the sore feet. It's the lack of heart and mental toughness.

    If he has a bad game he won't give an interview.

    As bad of a thread as any 13'er has ever made. Must have been really hard to find a different Harden thread to post this in.

    You know, when some said Carmelo' s failure was partly due to Denver being too easy on him in his earlier growth. I think the way Rockets "nurturing" James Harden, and how the Houston media gave him the passes on his lackadaisical behavior on the court, we are slowly developing our own version of Carmelo Anthony.

    Why do you want to see a postgame interview. It's not like he's gonna say "I" unless he has a good performance. He tends to use "We" a lot after losses. Go back and watch all the postgame interviews if you don't believe me.

    Hardin doesn't take accountability of his failures on the court, and that leads to him not growing and getting better as a player

    And there was no way he was going to make "we need to not shoot 17% from the floor and go 0 for 10 from behind the arc" fly with a straight face so he opted to simply avoid the postgame interview altogether....

    I think one way to hold Harden accountable is to bring him to the post game press conference after each home game, win or lose. Coach Mchale should seriously think about this and hopefully the kid would grow up in front of the challenges from the media. This team isn't going anywhere in the playoff if Harden not giving his 100% each and every night.

    I'm just waiting for one of these reporters to fire a question at him questioning his effort. Probably won't happen.

    McHale or the owner really needs to reign in Harden. Need a team meeting or something because Harden is walking all over the Rockets. He does whatever he wants no accountability.

    Hat positives moving forward can possibly come from him doing any interview after his game? Stupid to expect him to answer to crappy local media questions

    Taking responsibility for his performance would be a big positive to the team.

    Unless he had a legit reason for leaving early, like feeling sick, its kind of a b**** move to make your teammates, most who played their heart out, have to face the media on their own.

    It's one thing if Harden was the only one playing balls out on both ends and his team gave up....but that wasn't the case at all.

    After bad games Kobe stayed back and had individual practice to work off the anger he has after garbage performance . I wonder what strip club harden is in drinking away his frustration ?

    He should take that responsibility behind closed doors to his teammates and coaching staff. He doesn't owe us anything or any explanation as no positives can come from it

    LOL......why do people keep bringing this "he owes us nothing" argument? He basically abandoned his teammates saying "ehh you answer the questions i'm going home."

    Let's say he does what you said (not likely). He takes responsibility behind closed door and then decides to bounce, leaving the media responsibility to all his teammates......kinda defeats the message does it not?
