    I am not surprised at all that Parsons said it. I am surprised that someone said it so late.

    This is not going to end well. NEVER a good thing to throw your team mate under the bus - even if it is true.

    Harden is our best player by far, people trying to criticize a guy who has played hurt most of the season and that hampers his play even though he has done a great job being productive.

    ive seen harden drive and dish it out many times to a teammate with about 4 seconds on the shot clock left. many times to parsons, and parsons usually didnt have a good look to shoot the three. i noticed that one of the other 3 players had an open look though. this was not an isolated incident either. this has been going on since we have gotten him. but i definitely noticed he started making his move to the basket a lot sooner at around 10 seconds, so obviously something was said to him about holding the ball so long this season about that.

    It is hard to kick the okc mentality: to win the scoring champ.

    **** that. if a player is not hustling or doing something wrong he needs to be called out.

    He is our best player. That doesn't negate anything I said. The injury excuse is bs.

    Indeed. Bench Harden until he gets his head out of his arse. Until then, witness the power of Lin + scrubs

    What is your problem? Parsons did not call out Harden. This has been discussed earlier in this thread. :mad::mad:

    Ok well we will see if he makes the all-star game, it's possible he won't. Monte Ellis dropped 39 on him when Jlin of all people hold him to 3 shots.... Hard to call him a top 20 player in the league.

    You sir will never get a job in any PR department lol, you cant be serious right?

    You dont throw a team mate under the bus, especially if you arent the best player on the team. You have a problem you address it when the cameras and mics arent around. This just creates problems rather then fixing them.

    best player- yes
    best passer- no
    players standing still- yes

    being the best passer when you dominate the ball and bring it up all the time- james often plays as our PG. i dont believe he is the best passed on our team, he is a good passer but i think lin or brooks can do better.

    players standing still- i still saw that a few times tonight, but no where near as much as when harden is on the floor. thats your team not getting involved in the offense and standing around watching harden ball.

    kudos to Chandler, someone should hold the max contract accountable. Mchale is just too afraid to be fired so he rather play the good daddy role. if the team wanna get to next level this is inevitable.
    now Harden's response will mean big, both for this team and for his career.

    i dont give two ****s about PP! and i know that he didnt call him out. what i am saying is it sure as hell puts a lot of pressure on harden to not be a ball hog in the 4th. i really doubt this is the first time that the team has said this to harden

    Harden is no way a ballhog. He is the best playmakers on the team.

    It wasn't dumb. The team knows it can win without Harden. If anything, they've got leverage to make him change.
