I have seen a change in him as well . In the GS game after heating the game winning shot he calmed his teammates celebration down reminding them that their was still time to defend the last play. He has been about business focused and resolute.
Manu ginobilli is better than harden IMO after you consider the rings and sacrifices manu ginobilli made for the Spurs. Manu ginobilli is definitely the better left handed player between ginobilli and harden.
I was just kidding man. I am a believer in harden... But there is some truth to it. Hopefully he does better this year in POs.
Yeah, you can see Harden's self-realization. There is a lot of confidence there. And you can see him do a lot of little things now like "take charges" and fight extra hard on rebounds. And the extra leadership on the court.
The harden situation is like people rooting for Tony gwynn in baseball with the San Diego Padres. Tony gwynn led the mlb league in hits year after year which was cool, then you have Barry bonds in San Francisco who led all time in home runs. For Tony gwynn, Does leading mlb in hits really matter when another player has all-time home run record? You might be too young to remember ginobilli swept lebron in LeBron's first nba finals. This was when ginobilli was in his prime at the age of 29 when there was a controversy and everyone knew ginobilli got cheated out of being named nba finals mvp. Facts is facts. Now what did lebron do to harden in harden's first nba finals? Lebron almost swept his ashe!!!!! That was back when harden was on OKC in what? 2013.
Wouldn't be surprised if he threw a b**** fit behind closed doors, tonight. I get it. Besides Gordon, no one is really known for their offense. But good lord, when you go 19-60, you need to be blamed.
