[Hello Brooklyn]

Tightness was the best case scenario. But it still sucks.

We kept him out for as long possible to ensure he would be ok. Instead it came right back.

I'm sure he will be able to by Game 5 or 6. But how do we know he won't just reinjure it right away?

Nobody to blame but Harden himself. For all the talk of how he wants to win a championship, he came in this season fat and out of shape. This is what happens when you do that. He can still come back and Nets can even win without him, but next season he should come back in shape by training camp. That’s what scary because as good as the Nets have been this season there is much more to be improved on first thing being Harden’s conditioning. And they need him to so Durant can rest during the season and because with Kyrie you never know if the next game he will retire or what.

Man shut your dumb ass up with this nonsense.

Nets fans watched Harden carry the load for this team while Durant was out with injury for most of the season putting up MVP numbers. Kevin Durant had a hamstring issue this season too, is that because he was out of shape? **** ing clown, take this crap back to the General board with the rest of the morons.

Preach man, this clown don't even take into account the fact how injury riddled this season was. You start going team by team and all that crap that he wrote will blast in his face.

We just beat Saltics right. Did Kemba and Brown came into camp fat? Siakam, FVV etc I mean I can put 3-5 pages with s*** posting he just did. Worst part about it is that general board mods support that without having damn clue, or worst having bais.

This is warning worth post here. I don't support snitching, but this one need to get banned from this forum. Amount of stupid stuff that he said without facts is unbearable.

I'm not reporting, just posting an opinion.

Lol im rooting for the Nets dumbass.

Harden carried heavier load in those Rockets teams and he was an ironman, never missed games. This season suddenly he has hamstring issues? So logically we can attribute that to what’s different with Harden this year - he’s a little bit out of shape and doesn’t have the same lift and first step he had during his MVP year. He should get in better shape - and that’s what’s exciting about this Nets team - we haven’t seen the best.

I'll back the guys we've got out there anyway, we aren't outmatched against anybody left in the playoffs. Just gotta grit it out and execute (and needless to say stay healthy)

No disrespect intended my friend, but that sounds like Lakers fans after AD came up lame.

The rest of the basketball world knew they were toast, but they remained in denial till the bitter end.

Bottom line, James may or may not have been our best player this year. You can argue for KD or Kyrie, but we all know Harden was our most important player this year, the straw that stirred the drink.

Translation: We're F'ed.

I agree Harden was our best player this year, and league MVP before he got hurt. That said, We have arguably the best player in the NBA and TWO all-NBA players with shooting and quality role guys. As we saw game 1, we are far from done just yet.

As I said all year, Harden is our best floor raiser, but KD is our best ceiling raiser. In a half-court playoff game, KD is a cheat code. He can score on anyone and defend 1-5 in the half court. he is #2 in the playoffs (next to gobert) in blocked shots and averaging an efficient 32 ppg. We also saw Kyrie's extra gear in game 1. shots werent falling be he showed he is the fastest/quickest guy in the league blowing by Jrue multiple times and going end to end blowing past people.

We CAN win without james, we just go from favorite to contender. With lebron out, we will still have the best player in every series

hopefully we wont need to do it without him.

Getting Dinwiddie back would soften the blow bigtime

I think we’re going to see Harden as soon as game 3 or more likely game 4. There’s a reason they only ruled him out for game 2 to date. There are 2 days each between games 2 to 3 along with 3 to 4. I would anticipate the series score will have an impact, going up 2-0 would be huge.

Yup. if we are up 2-0, no way you bring him back game 3.

[Prokorov]

Really glad it's only a hamstring tightness. You guys should feel fortunate.

To be Honest, it doesnt really matter what it is... he was 100% cleared and aggrivated it 43 seconds into a game. so being tightness he could still see that come u.p. i dont think he will have it behind him until after an offseason of rehab.

Just gotta hope it doesnt flare up when he does return

A was waiting for thins dumb **** to come back with exactly same narrative.

Harden carried heavier load in those Rockets teams and he was an ironman, never missed games. This season suddenly he has hamstring issues? So logically we can attribute that to what’s different with Harden this year - he’s a little bit out of shape and doesn’t have the same lift and first step he had during his MVP year.

Are you f***in Dr or his personal physician? There were many occasions where most durable players got hurt with soft tissue injuries.

Man GTFOH and cheer for someone else. Don't need trash like this here. Talking s*** with no damn clue.


For f*** sake, that could be the reason he got hurt. Them amount of minutes pile up.

It’s not far-fetched to say Harden does not look like he is in his best shape this year... chill out ... carry on..

We dont... and thats the problem with hamstring injuries. Its why i was so concerned for him and KD earlier. its one of the few injuries where the timeline is so unclear.

You can't see damn thing that's in front of you, simply because you stubborn with your narrative. Go back to GB simpleton.

This guy has now clue what this team is or what it stands for, here he go with trash takes.

Rooting for Harden doesnt change the validity of his point. In addition to Harden being in great shape once he arrived in Brooklyn, with the condensed schedule we have seen tons of injuries, from guys typically ironmen. Hamstrings in general are susceptible to these short timelines.

Your hot take is silly.

[GTR11]

we have top Dr's and conditioning team out there. Go do some homework before talk smack. We spend that thing for our players, we do it since Marks.

[akhan786]

Sit Harden out until the Finals. We don’t need him for the East lol and we really don’t want to risk further injury because we need him in the regular season. His hub role for an offense in an 82 game season destroys and exhausts his body. What’s perfect is that then when it comes to playoff time he has KD and Kyrie to shoulder the bulk of the responsibility and for clutch shots in the playoffs which Harden has always had problems with
