Without Joel Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers were outscored by 15 in the second half during their Game 1 loss to the Miami Heat. James Harden finished with 16 points and after taking one shot in the fourth quarter, he said after the game QUOTE: "Obviously we're missing Joel, but it's out of our control… We got to go out there and man up and be great, and I know we will." Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe decide if James Harden washed?

James Harden is a perfect example of inconsistency and lack of focus. James thought he could just wake up and play ball. He would come into the seasons out of shape and work himself back into shape. You cannot keep that up as a top tier athlete. Harden has got to get back in the gym/weight room and get his body right. He also gotta choose basketball over the fame.

@lazzi2462 2 года назад

He is washed. He's a step slower. His playmaking skills are fine, but his shooting efficiency is so bad & I think he's shooting less because of that, in hopes of not worsening his FG%, he doesn't want to make it look any worse. He's shooting his worst FG% since his rookie year. He's still getting a good amount of freethrows, I believe he was 3rd in attempts per game just behind Giannis & Embiid, so I don't buy this "he's not getting anymore calls" narrative. I think this is a result of lack of dedication, just think about it, the past two teams he's been on, it's rumored that he's been called out by Westbrook while on the Rockets & KD while on the Nets. If I remember correctly, Westbrook said he was always late to practice, & would take vacations in-between games just to go party. KD was upset when he showed up to training camp out of shape. If you want to win, you have to be dedicated. This puts Philly in a tough spot, because they have to pay him. Lol

@michaeljohnson7945 2 года назад

Another factor: James Harden's best years came in Mike D'Antoni's system. D'Antoni's system supercharges the statistics of ball-handling guards (Jeremy Lin, Raymond Felton, Steve Nash). Harden already was an all-NBA fixture but D'Antoni's system made him a 30-point-per-game scorer and he put up mindboggling scoring and assist numbers in Houston. When Harden got to Brooklyn and people raved about Harden's numbers, people forget D'Antoni was the assistant coach. I can't call it a coincidence that Harden has looked unimpressive at times in Brooklyn after D'Antoni left, and now he's looking worse in Philadelphia.

@lazzi2462 2 года назад

@@michaeljohnson7945 I don't think his downfall was losing D'Antoni. His explosiveness, jumping, quickness just ain't the same, not really something that relies on coaching. Honestly, I think he's just getting old & didn't have the dedication to take care of his body, as Westbrook & KD both pointed out.

Also teams now know KD can’t handle double & triple teams like that. And KD has a predictability too with how he scores where he just shoots over u or does a hesi pullup & teams know how to guard that.

@holden6104 2 года назад

Do you really think it took years for teams to figure that out? He's been running the same two plays his entire career. The difference is he's lost his first step, and since defenders don't have to respect the drive as much, his stepback doesn't work either.

@TrainEatSleepRPT 2 года назад

I’ve always thought Harden was massively overrated. Even when he was averaging 36. He exploited the rules and he also doesn’t take care of his body especially in the off-season. He’s so focused on the fame and now he’s close to his mid 30s and it’s catching up to him.

His decline is not just age, it’s also the fact that he’s out of shape - he doesn’t invest the time and discipline needed to be in shape and preserve himself. That’s on him. Also, he needs to develop some new moves to add to his limited arsenal. He’s no longer at that stage where he can do a few things and you just can’t stop it.

@larrylindgren9484 2 года назад

People age differently. I talk to a guy was approaching 80. He said for years I felt 50. Then one day he woke up and he felt 80. Harden maybe a guy like that. You go from feeling 25 to all of a sudden old in a heartbeat. If Harden can't drive the lane and throw his hands up getting phantom fouls. Then players don't need to respect him driving by you it kills his step back. Now you have a volume scorer who can't even get up volume to score any more. He's not getting 12+ FTs a game of free points on top of it to add it his 10-30 shooting night he's so famous for. You now have 20 points instead of 32.

@@larrylindgren9484 That’s interesting. I actually never knew that, thank you. If that’s the case with Harden this would make sense, especially coming off of that hamstring injury. I can still imagine that his poor diet and conditioning has only exacerbated it. The thing is that even last season he was very effective with a much lower free throw rate; so I see this as more a product of conditioning, attrition and mentality than officiating. It’s a lot of things; In the end, Harden is washed.

We need to appreciate LeBron more. He is 37 and still trains, conditions, and keeps up his nutrition like he did when he was 22.
