    yes, he did.

    i am not too worried about the rumors such as this one, or harden partying too hard b4 game 3. if true, we all will soon know it. they will come out sooner or later. if not, then they're not worth worrying.

    What exactly was said? I saw a clip of the post game interview and it struck me odd like everyone wasn't in the same page?

    Who gives a crap if they hang out? What matters are the results on the court. Obviously there's gonna be some tension in the locker room when you're down 0-3 and the team just came off its worst performance of the season. As there should be. I'd be a lot more concerned if I heard that everyone was laughing and yucking it up behind closed doors.

    I get Dwight's frustration. Dude's been busting his ass in the playoffs and he's gonna be 30 next season, so he's well aware of how few opportunities a lot of players in this league get to win a title. He probably doesn't see that same sense of urgency in Harden and it's p-ssing him off. It's clear James still has a lot of maturing to do. He's grown a lot since last season, but not as much as he needs to if he's gonna be the kind of leader who can carry this team all the way to the Finals.

    Am I the only one who feels like this isn't something the public needs to know? It's almost like tabloid journalism.

    It's not journalism. cyberx is not a journalist, just a guy who heard things.

    Sorry, I know the timing is bad, but this is very true.

    The guys go to dinners and make fun of the guy.. It's very well known on the team.

    Who cares if they don't hang out? Obviously being coworkers on a pro basketball team is different, but is it they don't respect each other or are different people?

    You missed my point. It's LIKE tabloid journalism: reports of behind-the-scenes drama, just meant to draw in reader interest.

    I'd be upset if I were one of the players and stuff like this got out.

    Insider info (trades, acquisitions) is one thing.

    Gossip about players making fun of another player while at dinner is ridiculous.

    I almost feel like cyberx's little brother got on the computer and started posting stuff...

    They make fun of Dwight? I really don't get that, Dwight seems to have been playing hard all series. In any event, this is a coaching problem as well - coaches should be getting everyone back on track, supporting each other for the benefit of the team.

    A rift is one thing, but hanging out isn't important. This type of gossip blows things out of proportion.

    Guess chemistry is still an issue with Omer and Parsons gone.
