“I’m tired of watching Harden ISO ball” -Harden is averaging just 7.2 ISO possessions per game, down from 14.1 possessions last year, and 16.4 possessions the year before that...it is just slightly ahead of the 6.8 ISO possessions he averaged in 16-17 “I’m tired of Harden jacking up threes” -he’s averaging 9.7 attempts a game, down from the 12.4 and 13.2 attempts he averaged the past 2 years...and he’s shooting 38% from deep “I’m tired of Harden hogging the ball, let others touch the rock” -his usage rate is just 30.4% despite having a monster 125 offensive rating...his usage rate ranged between 34.2 and 40.5% during the MDA era “Harden needs to do more catch and shoot and play more off-ball” -19.2% of his two’s have been assisted so far, his highest percentage since the 13-14 season -22.7% of his threes are being assisted, his highest percentage since the 17-18 season and significantly higher than the past 2 years “Harden needs to trust his teammates and share the ball more, this is 1 of the most talented teams he’s had since he’s been in Houston” -currently averaging a career high 11.3 assists a game...he’s making sure Christian Wood gets his touches and shot attempts...he’s not marginalizing John Wall and letting him get his shots...he’s giving Boogie touches...he looks for the role players like Tucker in the corner or Nwaba and Tate when they’re cutting or running in transition so that they feel involved “Harden is always careless with the ball” -only averaging 4 turnovers a game to go along with those 11.3 assists now that Harden’s been doing most of what’s been asked of him for years, the narrative is that he doesn’t care, he’s quit, he’s pouting, and he’s becoming a role player... What will people b*tch, cry, and complain about next?
Reeko reminds me of DMX when it comes to James Harden. Ride or Die . lol Dude has 30,000 post on defending james freakin harden.
calm down we aren't even at .500 yet, and no telling if we've turned a corner. Our next 10 games are all contenders
It looks promising, I’ll give you that. I find myself enjoying games much more than under MDA and that definitely also because of our new young guys! I love it being less iso heavy. However, I cannot help but feel Harden seeming less engaged. I see a certain absent-minded look in his eyes. Granted that could be simply due to all the stories since he’s doing good in most areas like talking to guys, setting up guys and scoring as well.
The narrative will always be what he does or doesn't do in high, intense or crucial playoffs games/moments. Harden is still known to not show up or just plain choke.
James is leading the league in assist, thats not a bad stat. If he gets his players involved and scores when he needs to scores maybe the rockets can be a better team down the stretch. I got to give one 2 Silas trying to get everyone invovled, did you see the passing?, already knowing it takes team collectively to compete. Maybe Wall can be there scorer, i mean look Wall needs the ball to be effective.
WHAT people will b**** and moan about is a mystery. WHO will do the b****ing and moaning will surprise absolutely no one.
You post so much about harden you probably his dad. I got some trash for you, everytime you pick it up on my block bro.
Why is harden not smiling and too serious? He quits this team! Why is harden smiling and not serious? He doesnt care about the team!
The opinion of some Mavs fan means less than nothing. Stop craving for my attention Mavs fan scrub. This thread is asking what ROCKETS FANS will complain about next, so it doesn’t even involve u. imagine a Mavs fan thinking he should even be mentioning anyone on here...hilarious
Look im not trying to hate on you. The argument was after the bubble loss, you keep bringing up the pass. The real problem is How is James Harden getting his team involved, and if he is committed to the team. All you do is glofiry his stats saying its the coaches and teams fault.
