I can probably stand in James Harden’s shoes and understand why he’s frustrated. I shake my head simply looking at their overall record this season.
And even though it’s safe to say that everyone that plays for the Rockets are frustrated as well as James Harden, they’re not doing as much work as Harden.
Harden is clearly taking on more compared to last season. Not only does he have to get buckets, he has to be the Rockets facilitator now, I can sympathise with Harden.
“Yeah, because my first year was different,” Harden said. “We weren’t as talented and we still made playoffs, which was a big step for us. We have a lot of talent in this locker room, of course, coming off the Western Conference finals and being in the seventh spot right now. It’s frustrating, but we still have opportunities.”
“We’re not winning, so those numbers don’t mean anything,” Harden said.
Harden isn’t the only one who is frustrated with the team. Jason Terry has also voiced his frustrations.
Jason Terry walks through the media room on way to the locker room. “No chemistry with that group. F****** horrible.” #CSNBlazers #ripcity

There’s no point having a career year but crash out in the first round of the Playoffs, which is most likely the Rockets’ fate. I wonder if they will even make the Playoffs at this rate. With Harden’s frustration and JB Bickerstaff taking shots at the teams effort, can you see these Rockets making a run?
