Why do you need confirmation from Nook that Danuel House is a head case? Anyone could have seen it from a mile away, but bummer.
“Situation in Houston has not been good for awhile.” “Westbrook is not on the same page.” “Westbrook’s complaints are largely about the way he’s used in the offense.”
I think that’s fair to say. He did drive out Howard. He is the one who said, I can’t play with CP3. Now with WB, it’s because Harden doesn’t listen. Can’t be held accountable. If another player that you respect and that you asked be traded here, tells you, you need to do this better, you can at least listen to him. You don’t have to take him at his word but listen.
James isn’t a leader. He’s just not, that’s simply not who he is. What James is, is a brilliant scorer. This team has no leadership, and that’s the problem. This is a team that is showing to be a roster full of malcontents who probably know that their days are numbered once a more traditional coach comes on board. Hopefully Silas can pull it together, but it’s never been more clear that it is time to blow this whole thing up and start over fresh. Most of these guys won’t be missed, Russel Westbrook included. It’s addition by subtraction, almost regardless of the return.
Harden played well with others up till he was 25, then he ISOed all over the place, stepped back a ton.
This is bull. He gave reigns to Russ so many times this year. Just because Russ wants to be the man now it’s Harden doesn’t want to play well with others? How do we know it’s not Russ who doesn’t play well with others? KD, PG and now James.
It’s a sad day for Rockets fans when Harden’s #1 boy the one and only Westbrick doesn’t even want to play with him anymore. You know it doesn’t have to be one or the other. Neither of them play well with others and pairing them together was a disaster from the beginning. At least Westbrick is smart enough to realize that and wants to get away from Harden.
Neither of the 2 is a Steph or Klay. Moves off the ball, at least Westbrook tried. Someone that just runs around to a place and catch and shoot, or catch and drive.
lol exactly this. That people are immediately jumping on Harden for this is hilarious. Essentially what we are hearing is that Westbrook wanted to be the guy with the ball in his hands the most. He wants to be the creator. Not the one created for. He went from having the ball in his hands in OKC as much as Harden does here to a secondary guy and he didn’t like it. That will never happen on a team with James Harden also on it. That will never happen on a team that has aspirations of winning a lot of games. And for Westbrook to b**** about his role after the season he just had is just.....crazy.
Harden has this weird mentality if he considers you a tier below him in playing skills, he won't listen to you at all. Happened with Chris Paul when he fell off a cliff in his second year. They got along great in the first season because Harden thought of them as equals basketball wise. So unless we magically get LeBron, Giannis or AD walking through the doors, Harden isn't going to listen to anyone?
I hope Stephen A is right. Now to find a trade that at least restores balance to The Force. Because we got our salad tossed in prison over the Westbrook trade last year.
At the end of the day if Harden stays we still need a point guard. Not sold at all on Harden being the PG, he is not one.
