Despite having lost the last three games, James Harden is having a very good time with the Brooklyn Nets, posting interesting numbers on a daily basis, helping his squad to become a real threat (on the offensive end) in the 2020/21 NBA season.
The Beard landed in Brooklyn in a blockbuster 4-team trade almost one month ago and things have gone well for them but the fans still feel the New Yorkers need to step up and become the big team they’re expected to be this campaign.
Harden is one of those trying to push the rest of the team to be better, alongside Kyrie Irving and he recently was heated with one teammate as the Nets trailed the Detroit Pistons early in the 1st quarter of Tuesday’s game.

During the first 12 minutes of the game, Harden wasn’t happy with the performance of the team and he was spotted having a little exchange with teammate DeAndre Jordan while the Nets were 24-15 as the end of the time was nearing.
In the end, the Nets lost by 11 points, 122-111, losing their third straight game and leaving a poor image without Kevin Durant on the floor. Kyrie Irving was very vocal about the team’s struggles after the game, warning the league about the Nets when they figure things out.
Steve Nash’s team needs to turn things around if they want to compete in the East, especially knowing how well the Sixers, Bucks and even Sixers are playing right now. They are a scoring machine but on the defensive end, this team still has things to work out.
