    Harden could have had a chip with Brooklyn.. Instead he ruined both Philly and Brooklyn's chances by forcing a trade instead of not being a diva...

    I just realized Harden left a team with 2 players that know what it takes to get a chip and went to Philly.

    Kyrie and Durant would have carried Harden in the playoffs if he just would have got them to the playoffs.

    KD is a killer.. sweet gawd.

    Exactly, Harden was in a team with Durant and Irving... He could do his yearly playoffs disappearing act and as long as he kept the ball moving and facilitating Brooklyn had a strong ass chance to make the finals... Instead he put Brooklyn in a tougher situation - Harden's good passing... And went to Philly where he will actually have to some way or another make important plays in the playoffs in order for Philly to even sniff the ECF... He played himself and two teams basically..

    The problem with Harden is he is a freaking weirdo. he acts like he doesn't know how to just hoop with other all stars. one day he doesn't want to shoot open shots another day he wants to just pass. It's weird just watching him.

    When he was saying he has to figure out how to play with Kyrie and Durant when Durant and Kyrie aren't players that want a certain amount of shots, at least at this stage. Kyrie and KD just hoop; they naturally get their shots.. They will let you work all you want..

    All this hindsight about Harden dipping too early.

    All I saw was kyrie refusing to cave in for God knows how long the mandate is gonna b. Can't rely on him to help during playoffs. Kd is still Injured who knows if he's coming back.

    Harden jumped ship. Whether it paid off let's see, but at least the Rockets benefited.

    Brooklyn got lucky, for all we know it could have been just kyrie trying to carry the Nets part time in playoffs.

    I don’t think the nets are beating Boston. Taking the Celtics. They have the better overall team
