What's up with Harden?

This, haha

 

Or howbout just on a slump and adjusting to the pace and how hes being called

 

Yeah if he only had another legit superstar against kd, steph, drsy & klay

 

He played like a monster in the preseason. It could be a slump, but very odd time.

 

After all hes done for the team people cant even give the guy the benefit of the doubt

"Hes either turned alcoholic or addict in the first 2 games of the season"

Lol

 

You're right, Harden should go back to being a 6th man. I mean THAT'S how he got to the Finals to begin with. Imagine, a fresh Harden coming off the bench in the 4th quarter to give us 6 quality minutes and 10 points. Can't wait!

 

I think we all know he’s had a problem with alcohol and partying. That’s no secret.

 

partying yeah but alcohol abuse really? any links and quotes about alcohol abuse or DUI?

howbout drugs?

Rockets confident of Harden turnaround

D’Antoni was not at all concerned about James Harden’s shooting to start the season. But with Harden making 3 of 26 3-pointers, D’Antoni played along with those inclined to panic.

"He's awful,” D’Antoni said. “I don’t think he’s had enough games for us to trust him.

“I mean, that’s the last thing I’m concerned about. He goes through stretches like this. That’s one thing you can take to the bank – he’s fine.”

 

Too much Turkey Leg Hut.

 

Trying to hard to let Russ fit in.

DD

 

James is just getting adjusted to the new rules. I think getting those early foul calls and free throws get him in rhythm and it'll take a couple games for him to adjust. Those quick early foul calls also forced defenders to not guard him as tight. We'll see.

 

The new offensive foul rules are messing with his rhythm on top of him in a shooting slump.

He feels like he can't drive because he gets called for offensive foul, he tries to sell calls by falling over and the refs don't fall for it.

He then tries to do his stepback but since he's in a huge slump, everything bricks and he keeps trying to shoot his way back (which isn't working).

On top of all that, he shows no effort on playing perimeter defense (except gambling for steals) until late in the game when it's on the line.

The worst part imo, is he raises his arms when other team gets an open layup or 3 to blame his teammates. He needs to set a better example first.

Good thing Westbrook is here instead of CP3 to save us. Westbrook will have his bad nights (they will for sure happen), just hope it doesn't happen before Harden fixes his problems. If it was CP3 here, he'd probably be injured and can't score consistently enough to carry the team.

 

Dudes out here reaching for whatever nonsense they come up with. Smh and these are our “fans” Harden is the most hated player in Houston as well as the NBA.

 

the idiocy of some people on here is astonishing...people will literally pull stuff out of their ass based off of nothing and act like what they’re saying is reality

Harden decided that now is the time to show up to games drunk or do drugs (something he has no evidence of doing whatsoever)...some people just need to stfu

 

If he stops whistle hunting and just “hoops” as he likes to say he will be fine

 

He'll be fine. I think he's doing most things right, just that his shot is off at the moment.

 

Trying to hard?

He put no effort at all in the game.

 

Yeah, I will say he definitely improved against the Warriors in last season's Playoffs vs the one before. He just didn't hit big shots like Curry and Thompson did in clutch time.

 

Before you go on slandering a mans name regarding drugs how about you show or provide some evidence.
