Harden says,"When you need a basket, Need a bucket.." when refrencing his post game. This is the exact phrase Silas was using last post practice interview. Which means Silas and Harden are in the lab maybe building some trust? Hope intensifying!
I hear a lot about how the Rockets played the way they did because of Harden.... but a lot of it was that Harden trusted Morey and MDA, and he played the way they wanted him to play.... and you can see the change in some of what Harden has said and done. At the first media interview he said that he would do whatever coach wanted him, and it was in context to another issue, almost matter of fact. Then in the first game he played, he scored a couple times on cuts off ball to the basket.... now he is discussing posting up and scoring in the paint, and diversifying his game some.
I think time will show D’Antoni and Morey were are and two of the dumbest most incompetent executive duos ever. So many common sense moves have happened in such a short time since they left.
Yup, I have been trying to tell people that. They think Harden himself cut out mid range and post ups. But to be honest....his mid range isnt that good.
Harden just posted a picture of himself with his hand in the camera and putting stuff in a trunk on Instagram. I think he took it down already. Like on for 10 minutes sort of thing. I might need to check again. edit: it’s still up
He already did some this pre season.... he will need to do more if they decide to add that to the offense, but there is effort in that area after only a few practices.
I would of came out and said something along the lines of there being a lot of changes with the franchise and I’m not sure how I feel about that. And everything is a question including me. That’s as close to trade me as possible.
It's almost as if some of our fans don't know Harden's personality after all these years. He never answers personal stuff let alone this question.
It is a weird picture, just looks like he is putting an single bag in the back of his car and he is blocking the camera. It doesn't look like he cleaned out his locker or anything. Very weird though.
"James you said you don't know how you feel about it, can you elaborate on that?" "James what has changed around the team that has led you to not know how you feel?" "James I know you were asked a similar question, but does this mean you have not asked to be traded?" Answering it that way opens up a whole lot of questions............. and no one wants that..... I thought he answered the question fine, it cut off other similar questions.
I don't know the stats, but that turnaround step-back midrange shot , before he abandoned it for the step-back three, was the reason Harden became a perennial MVP candidate.
Stop looking at things from a normal Joe point of view. it’s not a weird picture for a young bachelor worth a quarter billion who hangs around entertainment people almost exclusively. What’s he gonna post, a head selfie? It’s his way of being unique and distinguished while being like everyone else it’s nothing
