Wait? So are you actually comparing what Simmons is doing to what Harden has ever done in his career? Who is actually arguing this point anyway? Way to do a drive-by on Harden.
That was the reporting in Shams’ piece, where he wrote that “sources say there have been growing concerns over Harden’s playing style…that contrasts with the free-flowing, organic approach from his two co-stars.” WTF is this BS? Since when has Durant and Kyrie offense been thought of as free-flowing and organic, it was widely reported that Ker and Durant had talks about him allowing the ball to come to him and we all know how Kyrie dominates the ball. Harden has changed his game up the most since coming to the Nets but somehow his playing style is the issue? It's amazing how some go out of there way to **** on Harden.
CP3 could not do it because he could not finish at a high level or even take anybody one on one like Harden could and nobody ran a guard-dominated offense like the Rockets or had a guy who commanded so much attention like Harden.
Clown’s stay getting clowned on. https://fadeawayworld.net/nba-media...we-talk-about-john-wall-and-russell-westbrook
Why is this hating? Harden is unhappy and wants to leave. Isn't it the coach's job to make his star player effective? Also, didn't Harden make a swipe at Nash about rotation?
“James Harden’s Brooklyn Nets” will never not be funny. Just a 2 game slide in January right @jiggyfly Nets still on pace to finish first and win it all right?
I’m sure curry had to deal with a part time Kyrie and an often injured KD. Stop the nonsense. Plus those warriors were deep as ***
That's a really bad article to post, especially if you're trying to criticize Harden. It mentions a quote by Lowe, but doesn't mention anything about Westbrook's terrible season nor how the Lakers are below .500. Doesn't mention anything about how Wall refuses to play unless he's starting. Meanwhile: Nets still have a positive record despite losing 7 in a row, despite Kyrie only playing in 11 games this season (4-7) and KD's last game being almost a month ago. Is it karma that Harden still has the offensive burden while now having to carry a roster that's worse than any he saw in Houston? Probably. But posting an article that lists a statline that's still at "star-level" and then saying he'll need to play like Houston Harden, doesn't exactly load you up with Harden-hating ammo.
Not really. They’re all overpaid, inefficient, turnover machines, posses no ability to play off the ball and have well documented playoff failures. See a pattern over the last 12 years? https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/tov_yearly.html It is what it is. They are who they are.
1. "Curry's two rings didn't count bc KD." - said no one ever. Seriously. KD is the one getting clowned on for joining a super team. No one has ever said anything about Curry, Klay or Draymond. 2. It's not even an apples-to-apples comparison. Apart from Durant falling apart in 2019, he was mostly healthy for all 3 Finals runs. So was Klay and Draymond. Curry never had to deal with the stuff Harden is doing. I get that you and @Asian Sensation dislike Harden / people that like Harden, but posting a tweet from a random and an article that barely has content doesn't really "clap back" at those posters. Just makes you two look lazy and uninspired to look up actual things. I'm sure there's much more scathing stuff about Harden out there.
So keep comparing and pretending Harden is on Curry’s level then. Steph/Durant 3 seasons together 2 titles. Harden/Durant 5th season together looking like it’s gonna stay at 0 titles.
Why are you so antagonistic? You keep wanting to put words into peoples' mouths and making up arguments just so you have someone to argue with / go against. It's really strange.
There is no need to argue I got the receipts "Arguing if Ben Simmons will be less pouty and weird than Harden is kind of like arguing shark versus tiger." Your exact words. Own up to what you said and stop with the drive-by hating. I will say again when has Harden ever done what Simmons is doing since we can't argue that it's different.
What does any of this have to do with Nash not being able to handle Harden? He does not want to leave because Nash is not making him effective, that's the hate talking and can you link this questioning about rotation since you think this proves your point?
I share what I have to say about Harden since this is a basketball forum. Many of his only fans try to make things personal and attack me by bringing up **** that has nothing to do with Harden or basketball. To further answer your question it’s because there’s stupid ****ing threads like this titled “James Harden’s Brooklyn Nets” and a bunch of delusional fanbois that seriously think he’s better than guys like Durant, Curry etc that exist. I’m just pointing out that it was never Harden’s team and to think it ever was was/is laughable. He’s also never been close to being on Durant or Curry’s level.
Dude, you are way too sensitive about anything remotely sounds like a criticism of Harden. Bravo for protecting a guy who doesn't need you to protect.
