James Harden discusses early-season struggles
Matt Brooks: James Harden: “As much as I want to get back to 30s and 40s points, I can’t do that. As much as I want to, as much as I would love to, I didn’t have any opportunities to play pickup. It was all rehab.”

James Harden after the #Nets get beat 31-4 in 2nd-chance points by the #Heat: “Its got to be a team effort. We have to gang rebound; we have to make sure we’re conscious of gang rebounding & putting bodies on guys. At the end of the day we have to fight.” nypost.com/2021/10/27/net… – 1:05 AM

James Harden is slowly making his way back from his hamstring injury. He’s scored 15 or fewer points in 3 straight for 1st time since 2011-12. “Just getting more confident…As much as I want to get back to [scoring] 30’s and 40 points, I can’t [right now]” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 12:48 AM

Russell Westbrook has recorded his sixth career triple-double in which he’s also committed at least 10 turnovers.
Since the NBA started tracking individual turnovers in 1977-78, the only other player with more than one such game is James Harden (3). – 10:23 PM

James Harden said he spent entire offseason rehabbing his hamstring and wasn’t able to play pickup like he normally would. He says as much as he wants to score 30 and 40 points right now, he has to build his way back to that as he gets more games under his belt. Harden had 14-7-7 – 10:17 PM

More on this storyline
Harden says this is unfamiliar territory for him coming back from a significant injury and having to be patient with his offense. “My career, I’ve been blessed,” Harden said. “Just not having surgeries or whatnot. So just this whole process last year was just like frustrating and draining. … It was draining for me to know that I couldn’t be myself and be out there on the floor and be the player that I am [at the end of last season]. “But I’m finally slowly getting back to it. It just takes a lot of hard work and dedication. But it’s gonna happen. But you got to just continue to keep fighting, and I will.” -via ESPN / October 28, 2021
“I had no opportunities to play pickup or nothing this summer,” Harden said. “Everything was rehab for three months, from a Grade 2 injury that happened three times in one season. So this is my fifth game of trying to just play with competition against somebody else. And as much as I want to rush the process and be back to hooping and killing, [have to] take your time.” -via ESPN / October 28, 2021
