It’s insane the metrics and obscure analytics some of y’all are digging up to justify the Harden trade. The reality is it killed this team. I’m not saying a chip was guaranteed, but Harden likely cost this team a shot at the playoffs and any chance to rebuild before 2030.

It is time to be silent on the matter. And don’t blame the coaching, there’s nothing anyone can do to remedy the defensive chasm harden has created on this team.

Big Gov > Harden

    Harden didnt cost this team. The roster construction, coaching staff and ownership cost this team. Don’t try to pin this on one player. The fact of the matter is that Harden didn’t trade SGA and all their picks for PG. Harden didn’t destroy Kawhi’s knees. Harden didn’t hire Ty Lue as coach. Harden didn’t make Zubac the only available big man. Harden didn’t trade himself. Ya’ll trying to make Harden the scapegoat when there were clearly huge fundamental issues with the team before he even got there.

    Lmao.

    Harden has been the most efficient scorer they have but they’re putting him in the corner so they can treat the other guards like make a wish kids and give them more touches than they should get. PG and Kawhi continue to settle for taking difficult shots instead of letting Harden create better looks for them. And Russ is fucking awful.

    They got Harden and then chose to not play like they had Harden. Tf you supposed to do

    If Harden is gonna continue to be passive and play like a role player, that is what will kill this team, along with Kawhi looking like 2009 TMac

    Some of you guys act like last year never happened. We sucked last year too! This is just a continuation this year. Harden is NOT the problem with this team at all.

      We suck last year because we are not healthy, are u kidding me. Plus Taliban Lue keeps on playing his boy toy. We even made the playoffs despite that

      We definitely looked good at the beginning of the season, everyone’s health, no Mook and Bones was balling. We lost 2 games with super close games, now we are losing to teams without their mother and starters. Gtfo and bring that stupid take somewhere. HARDEN IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM. He sucked up all the chemistry and became body fats. It is actually not his fault, its our FO’s fault that they thought this stupid shit trade would work.
