James harden is one of the best players in the NBA.
He’s an all star.
And according to a blog by Greg in Sportige, he’s also a ball hog.
Jeremy Lin has missed 9 out of the last 11 games.
The Rockets are 4-5 in the month of December with most of those games played without Lin.
In a 114-81 loss against the Indiana Pacers, Harden scored just 12 points on 3 of 14 shooting and 5 turnovers.

The absence of Jeremy Lin is hurting the team because there’s no one to counter Harden’s style and selfishness.
James Harden had the unfortunate experience of being guarded by Paul George for most of the game. Instead of trying to be smart about it, moving the ball and trying to get open off the ball through screens, Harden played his usual one against the world style.
Greg lays out his argument in Sportige.
What do you think? Are the Rockets better or worse without Jeremy Lin? Lin is widely rumored to be on the trading block. Should they trade him?
