Nets star James Harden doesn't look like the typical player we've known in previous seasons. The team knows that, coach Steve Nash knows it, and more importantly Harden himself knows it. After yesterday's loss to the Miami Heat, the 32-year-old admitted he couldn't get there for a while.
"While I'd love to go back to 30 points and 40 points (a game), I can't do that. I would love to, and of course I would love to. I didn't get a chance to play a makeshift tournament this summer. Three months of rehabilitation. Because he was injured three times in a season in the second degree.
It's my fifth or sixth game, and I'm trying to play against someone else. As much as I'd love to speed up the process and get back to playing and scoring, I'm still thinking, 'No, I'm going to take it slow.' It will also make me stronger at the end of the season. I just embrace moments like this and things like this, I just keep pushing it – I'm finally slowly getting back to it... It will happen. But you have to keep fighting, I will. ”
In that game, Harden scored 14 points, grabbed seven rebounds and seven assists. He also made only three free throw lines, but made four turnovers. In the post-game press conference, Nets coach Steve Nash spoke about harden sr. However, he knew that it would take some time for him to fully recover from this.
