Are Harden's off court activities hurting his play?

The only banner James Harden will every have raised in Houston.

 

Is Harden still injured?

 

I guess that explains the picture Brooks uploaded to Inatagram this morning... Harden is on a plane looking over game film --- asleep.

 

im ****ing joking

or am i just bad at detecting sarcasm

 

I blame Parsons. He is way too hot. Like working next to a super hot chick. Hard to focus.

 

Now that Parsons is injured its like that super hot chick leaving. Where is the will to work? Where is the will to live?

Idk but he needs to get his shiet together. Just looks aloof as hell out there. At least look engaged please

 

What the hell is superball...?

 

Every time a player has a bad game, a thread gets made, totally dismissing everything that player has done all season. Especially when 2 games ago he dropped 30 and saved our ass to win against arguably the best team in the league.

you "fans" are hilarious.

 

Every player can have a bad game here and there. Harden's human. That's not this issue. for ppl complaining about his awful subpar offense last game, that really isn't fair whatsoever. With that said, however, if Harden cannot become more consistent on D, then I'm pretty sure as the season progresses more and more ppl will jump on the Harden hate bandwagon. Some ppl here are blaming his feet for his lackadaisical D, but we all know this issue existed last season. There should be no excuses. He needs to put his bigboy pants on and just bring it on both ends on a more consistent basis. PERIOD. If he can't, then Mchale needs to hold him accountable and bench his ass until he shows that consistent effort.

 

I don't think he's a bad player. I just think he's utterly unwatchable. So hard to watch a game where Parsons, Lin and Asik aren't playing. The ball never moves and our offense becomes dependent on getting whistles when Harden touches the ball and hoping the refs eat their whistles when Dwight gets the ball. T Jones is the man but it's not enough, a very bland brand of basketball was played today.

 

Harden just needs a coach with balls to get on him nights like this. Mchale is like Mike Brown with Lebron James except Lebron James was better and worked harder.

 

4 star thread would read again.






Is this allowed?

 

It'd be okay if it's just ONE bad game where his shot just isn't falling. But this he was extremely lackadaisical and it didn't seem like he even cared about trying. And this has happened multiple times. Yes,Harden is good and can carry us to a lot of wins but if this team wants to go anywhere near the finals, he has to want to improve his game. Or else he'll just be another Carmelo Anthony.

 

He came back early off injury because Lin went down. He'll miss a few games when they come back.

Always overreacting.

Teams don't win every game. Get over it.

 

His feet are still messed up. It's affecting not only his game but his health. He looks fat.

Need to get them feet fixed and get back into shape. He won't be able to take any time off until Lin gets back though.

 

I heard he wasn't in the Locker Room, because he was in the team's training room hot tub, rehabbing.

 

Alcohol hurting his on court performance ? He needs to get the " machine" work ethic like Kobe if he ever plans on taking his game to the next level. Street ball not cutting it anymore

 

One good game out of 16 while shooting 27% from 3pt line? Nah we all remember. He's just an inconsistent kid that's not ready for the "best sg in league" label people give him
