James Harden got into an argument with a reporter after his media session

you seriously can't be stupid enough to defend Harden these past two games.

 

Harden cant handle the pressure, that's all.

He needs to sit with Lin and get some advice.

 

After gg thru 13 pages. Its almost like Lin and Harden swapped places. The comments are all nearly the same, with the names changed.

Oh well.... Good luck at Game 3.

 

Delusional to the max

 

Seriously, you sound like a LOF trying to defend Lin after he played bad. Just cut the crap.

 

Harden is much better than Ariza, but I agree he's not even close to McGrady.

 

So still not ready to be a leader, be a straight up person and admit you need to do more, be better on both sides and just act like a immature, spoiled little brat? Again, I miss T-mac!! I rather have a guy who says "It's on ME" than this punk b**** ****.

 

Yep, this.

 

MY offense.

OUR defense.

Dude is crazy. Not the superstar I'd want leading my team. No accountability whatsoever.

 

Nailed it.

 

Harden doesn't seem to own up to himself.

Game 1: He was rusty. He thinks he was the only one that hasn't been on the court for 6 days.

Game 2: He is not worried about his offense. He should know better than anyone else that he is a defensive juggernaught.

 

No leader in that locker room.

DD

 

I stopped watching the video when he talked about making defensive stops.

 

i think harden was out of it because it was clear mchale told the team pregame that dwight would be the focus of the offense. harden felt like he had to take a backseat and was thus disengaged on both ends throughout the game.

mchale needs to grow a pair and bench harden when he feels like he doesnt want to play. let lin initiate off the pnr. this worked well in game 1 but unfortunately we didnt get to see a whole lot of it in game 2 because lin was relegated to standing in the corner.

 

coaches gave him too much freedom without accountability. now, how do we the genie back in the bottle?

we need to change the coaching staff because i don't think he will listen to these guys anymore

 

Didn't look like an argument...reporter asked him a question and he answered it.

 

and we complained about McGrady......that was some of the most heartless basketball I have ever seen. I have lost a ton of respect for dudes game. if he keeps this up, there might need to be a Harden jersey burning.

 

exactly

 

Would you prefer the opposite then? Fan apathy? Folks here are upset because they happen to CARE about this team and want it to succeed. Arguing with reporters does not erase the fact that Harden has sucked a** during these playoffs. Nor does it hide the fact that he gave up on the court last night for all to see. He can get mad and call reporters names all he wants but he's being paid to win basketball games, not fight with reporters and if he cannot handle the pressure then he's in the wrong line of work. The playoffs are ALL about pressure and it's just beginning.

 

he attempted to draw the foul on fran, but fran is a seasoned vet. hoping harden gets out of his funk.
