    Remember all the time McGrady used to move off the ball?

    Insider Tracy McGrady?

    Sorry Chris or Dwight or Kevin or Mike, you're not gonna get movement out of Harden or make him push the pace or do anything he doesn't want to do! You'll be shown the door! :D

    "I’m at my own pace. You’re not going to make me play faster than I want to play. Most guys speed up. I need to get to point A, I’m going to get to point A when I want to get point A. When I need to change direction to get to point B, it’s when I need to go to point B. "

    Is this a surmisal or did Paul or someone credible actually tell him this? I'm going to assume the former, which is something a child could easily surmise.

    Me myself Harden... James isn't winning anything with this attitude. At this point if the Lakers offered Lebron for Harden I say ok.

    I mean this was pretty obvious. Yea sure tmac sucks blah blah, but the chemistry problems are more concerning

    I wanted CP3 to show up against the Warriors but that never happened either. Matter of fact he's been further than he's ever been with Harden carrying his overpaid ass.

    Harden should shed more weight and work on his long term endurance.

    He does need to move more without the ball and not just making one move to go get the ball.

    He's overweight. Only has energy saved for padding stats

    That’s the damn truth. Harden was fine.

    CP3 wasn’t worth half of his salary.

    see the only thing that bothers me like every year... why cant we have regular season harden during the playoffs? i mean the dude single handedly brought us out the $hitter while being compared to wilt chamberlain. why not the playoffs like kawhi?

    he's 30 now, i just cant see things getting better than last season without a big change.

    You describe Harden as selfish and yet you want LeBron on this team? Have you seen his defensive efforts the past two seasons?

    Because teams hone in on predicable offenses better in a 7 game series format where they play the same team consecutively and can hone in on the small nuances and tendencies.

    And the Rockets currently have the most predictable offense in league history. No overstatement.

    He's basically saying what I've been saying, Harden QUIT. Where the heck is Zboy? I know he has some excuses on deck for this. When all else fails, "Welp I checked the boxscore & it shows Harden averaged 30+. THATS ALL THAT COUNTS!" Says Zboy smh
