I get it tho. Expectations is a tough thing to deal with when you lose. It's much easer for some people to watch a team lose 50 games with young & scrappy players, then get their souls crushed losing in the 2nd round or conference finals.
The general public is finally gonna be able to appreciate just how amazing James Harden is at basketball.
Can't believe the way he quit on us.. first game he gets a triple double.. I lost a lot of respect for him
The regular season doesn't matter. Harden had a ton of praise from the media during his mvp season as well as the season after. What matters is the postseason. If the Nets and Harden perform poorly or flame out, expect the NY big market media to make the negative press Harden received before look mild.
See, if it was like that I would at least get it; that's what we were getting with the Yao/T-Mac years. But the Francis/Mobley years couldn't even do that.
The Nets have some paint issues. They should look into Dwayne Deadmond or Kyle O Quinn to help down low especially on the glass and MGK & RHJ for some perimeter defense. Neither player puts in much on the offensive end but this team doesn’t need that.
But he's not on the Rockets without another superstar is he? lol He's riding backseat just like he used to in OKC. I'm not saying he's washed it's just impossible for him to be better than KD if KD is healthy by default because KD needs those shot. He will cheer him on like used to and set him up for buckets....the quintessential Robin to KD's Batman if you will. He's follower.
LOL 1 game at the end of the season they will end up similar points with Harden having more assists or are you saying KD will average 15 pts more than harden from here on out?
In a sane world, he wouldn’t have a job after the Cuban fiasco. I turn off any program he pops up on.
