During Philadelphia’s loss to Brooklyn, James Harden had a very poor performance. A point on which Charles Barkley wanted to insist.
The game between the Philadelphia 76ers to Brooklyn Nets sounded like a reunion. Transferred to the Sixers during the trade deadline, James Harden was facing his ex-teammates for the first time. In great difficulty during the meeting, The Beard performed very far from his usual standards, with 11 points at 17.6% shooting; 6 rebounds and 5 assists in 29 minutes. At the end of the match, which ended in a defeat for Philadelphia (129-100), the performance ofHarden has logically been singled out, in particular by Charles Barkley.
“When the lights get too bright, he’s always been awful”
For Inside The NBA, Charles Barkley did not hesitate to smash James Hardenwhich he finds invisible in big games. “James Harden has a reputation for being in trouble with every big game. Even when you go back to his Rockets days, they had to beat the Warriors, they were leading. Then Chris Paul got injured, and he was the real leader of the team. James Harden is a great player, a great player, but when the lights get too bright he’s always been horrible. And when you’re a great player, you can’t always be exceptional, but you just don’t have the right to cause your team to lose. Tonight he caused his team to lose… He will be under increased pressure for the next big game, and the next one. And that’s crippling for the franchise, because in my eyes they have to win this season or the next before Harden goes somewhere else.” reacted the legend of the NBAin comments relayed by Let’s talk basketball.
