You are speaking to me not anyone else, i'm talking about historically James Harden has played poorly more often than not, his statistics can be misleading also due to the fact that he's isolation heavy player.

Was reunited with russ now in houston prior to the start of the outgoing season. Here is some interesting history for harden's team though.

*Had cp3 in the team first two seasons prior and choked to the warriors in the 2018 wcf, despite going 3-2. However, an injured cp3 in game 5 may have influenced this.

*Played them again in the 2019 postseason, this time in the west semifinals and fell once again in 6 games, with a rival kd being injured in the process.

*After 2019 postseason, cp3 and some draft picks get traded in exchange for russ. Some people highly expected the thunder to undergo a complete rebuild while being optimistic that the rockets will become more competitive.

*Fast forward to march 2020 and the thunder are now actually the 5th seed in the west while the rockets sit at 6th. A surprising turn of events, all of a sudden.

Then covid happened and suspends the whole league prior to a jazz-thunder matchup in march 11.
