Harden

James Harden is very quick.  He has amazing body control.  He is young.  He plays decent defense, finishes well, and can shoot.  But, whenever I get to see him play, especially in person, I'm left with the overwhelming sense that he's a bitch.  He flops, he complains, and he walks funny.  His beard seems to be a bit.  It's unfortunate, because with Lin and Motiejunas, I'm predisposed to cheer for this team (when they're not playing my Mavs).

There are lots of players that flop and complain.  Dirk.  Tim Duncan.  Yet, I love the poop out of those guys.  I guess it's a double standard, but I just would never call them a bitch like I would Harden.  Lin is actually a fairly similar player, and I fucking love him.

Whatever.

It was a good win last night.  Four in a row is nice.  Mike James seems to fit in and Darren Collison is playing better.  I'm afraid, however, that tomorrow night against the Thunder is going to be bad.  They are playing really well as well.  We'll see.

The other note from last night is Royce White.  I got to see him play in Ames last year during my Thanksgiving Break.  I got to see him out in Vegas during the Summer League.  He's good.  But, my god, his twitter is amazing.  He is constantly retweeting his haters with a #BeWell added on for good measure.  I think mental health is a topic that needs to be addressed more often and openly.  I also think, though, that he's going to look back on this time with some regret.  We'll see.

UNLV won.  Manti Te'o is dumb or evil.  Lance is not a story.
