Cracks Begin to Emerge in Brooklyn Nets Paradise As James Harden Openly Takes Blame For Chicago Bulls Bashing

An NBA star, James Harden remains a cornerstone and a key player for the Brooklyn Nets. Harden is currently playing his 12th season in the NBA. The 32-year old is a part of a formidable trio along with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

Harden recently made news when he blamed himself for the Nets’ lack in form.

He spoke to the media in a post game conference following the Nets’ game against the Chicago Bulls. The Nets lost in a tough match against them. Harden took the blame for his franchise’s loss while simultaneously absolving his teammates of any.

Harden said, “Blame this one on me. You know I had a lot of opportunities at the rim that I didn’t convert. That could’ve settled this game down. You know, I think we played a pretty good game, a pretty good solid four quarter game. I made some tough shots at the end but you know turnovers we cut down. The things that we talked about before the game, we pretty much did a really good job with that.”

The Nets’ loss to the Bulls is their seventh loss of the 2021-22 NBA season. The team and Harden currently enjoy a 16-7 record for the season compared to the Bulls’ 16-8 record. He spent 40 minutes on the court against the Bulls while scoring only 14 points.

Harden began his NBA career in 2009 with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The OKC Thunder selected him as the third overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft. He had been named as the 2018 NBA MVP when he played for the Houston Rockets.
