Imagine playing pick up ball at the park.. You have that one teammate that shoots 80% of the time and plays no D...y'all feel them right?

After improving last year he definitely has regressed thus far this season.

Maybe this is why I had Harden on my no draft list.

Doesn't even seem to have much O anymore aside from his ref baiting. 37% FG, 26% 3's, 11 FTA per game. Jeez...

Harden seems to me like one of those guys who have his 15 minutes of peak basketball, and then will fizzle out early in his career. He may pick up his game again, but overall, I don't see longevity for him. Inefficient scoring on top of no defense = zero rings for Dwight and I'm down with that!

Maybe that's what's hurting his game. He realizes his beard is no longer unique and special; his confidence, gone. His game - shattered.

Either that or he's just kinda lazy and has lost interest.

Yeah that's probably it but I wanted to give the beard idea some burn, too.

Do we get to laugh at Daryl Morey yet? I remember five minutes ago this guy had it all figured out. Now his team sucks almost as much as ours, even though pretty much all his evil plans have come to fruition.

His analytics have failed to account for douchebaggery. Harden and Howard are like the Stephen Curry of douchebaggery. It negates anything else they bring to the court.

Harden almost seems like a rich man's version of last year's Kobe. 28.8 points on 37% FG with some of the worst defense in league history.

That is why we are so lucky to have Kobe. An individual who continued to try and improve every year.

These players are special.

Harden is good but this year has not been as good as last year.

He's the reason McHale was fired. Harden is the Melo of this era. Will never win anything with him because of his lack of defense and leadership skills.
