What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Nick Friedell @NickFriedellKD: “I like our group that we’re not sinking deeper and deeper into the hole. We know we’re in some deep sh**, don’t get me wrong, but we do understand that with a win, one win, it could just put us on the right track.” – 7:44 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedellDo you think Kyrie’s decision not to get vax had an impact on Harden wanting to leave?
KD “I can’t speculate on that, I wouldn’t know. There’s obviously going to be rumors about that. Kyrie has always been an easy scapegoat for everybody, especially for the media and the fans.” – 7:15 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedellKD also said he didn’t know Harden was unhappy until he started seeing the reports popping up over the last week. He said he thought everything was solid with Harden — but things started to deteriorate when he got injured and wasn’t around the team. – 7:01 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedellKD just spoke for the first time in a few weeks — he sounds confident he’ll be back soon after the All-Star break but said he doesn’t want to come back at just “80 percent.” He is improving all the time though. – 6:57 PM

Kyrie Irving: Lol I guess this is “breaking news” media nowadays. Keep my family name out y’all Simpleton articles. The Puppets are running wild Again -via Twitter @TheAthleticNBA / February 11, 2022 Harden, according to sources who were in the room when it happened, was seated in front of his locker, watching Irving, and looked at Kyrie like he had three heads. “Definitely a weird vibe between them,” one source said. “You could tell Harden was annoyed, and Kyrie wasn’t feeling James.” -via The Athletic / February 11, 2022 Zach Lowe on James Harden: I have heard that he is frustrated with the lack of spacing on the team. And the reason they don’t have spacing right now is because very often two or three of their best shootersare out. -via Spotify / February 8, 2022
