James Harden struggled, mightily, to start this season. The NBA enacted rule changes against flopping, which impacted James Harden. Already, James Harden faced pressure, as Kyrie Irving isn’t playing, for the Nets, due to refusing to get vaccinated. After a rough start, the Brooklyn Nets are the top team in the East. There is still pressure, though, as the defending champion Bucks are on a six game win streak. More immediate pressure comes from the Phoenix Suns. They’re on a fifteen game win streak, and playing Brooklyn, tonight. When Harden went to score, he got double teamed. Jae Crowder ended up hitting him. This made Harden angry and he got in Jae Crowder’s face.
