I wonder what could be on Harden’s mind?
While his scoring is the same as last year, his efficient is way down. He is shooting terribly and his turnovers are up.
Also after having a solid defensive season last year, he is falling back into lazy habits that are making him a liability on defensive end.
That hasn’t gone unnoticed by his teammates.
While players tried to keep details of the meeting private, two themes emerged, three people told USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the situation. Harden’s play and aloofness have frustrated teammates, and McHale took the brunt of the blame for the team’s play. Practices were not resulting in improved play in games.
If the team doesn’t believe in their best player and coach, that is a major problem. They can’t get rid of Harden, so McHale had to go.
Only Lil B lifting the curse or Khloe getting back with Lamar can save them now.
