Dan Patrick: James Harden Looks Old And Detroit Is Taking Advantage Of That | 5/8/26
Dan Patrick recaps the Detroit Pistons 107-97 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, including James Harden’s continued postseason struggles
Harden is old. Needs to get on that Steph/PG 25 games off program to be rested come playoff time.
Ring culture has nothing to do with Harden reputation. The dude falls apart in the playoffs every year. Hes gonna get clowned for it regardless of ring culture. You can’t have more TOs then made shots and blame ring culture for people being critical of him
Durant, Harden, and Westbrook have moved to 18 different situations combined. Let that sink in.
Damn doesn't like Detroit teams or the city.. he's a hater
Comparing Cade to Haliburton is offensive for Cade.
James Hardly is like 37. CLE thought he would still be good?
Wait, how is KD hunting rings at an old age any different than what Draymond pointed out what Chuck did? And DP thought it was disrespectful
I'm just laughing at the zionsville patch on his desk… like wtf
Westbrook always played hard and tried on defense. People hate harden because he doesn't and generally never really did.
DG killed the Pistons during the regular season. I was super happy when they traded him for Harden.
Iverson was a great regular season player. Not much of a practice player, though.
When I moved to Michigan it took years before I became a fan of thier teams because I thought they were babies “Detroit vs everybody” “ no one give the lions/pistons credit” “ the refs are out to get us” I am now a fan because I’ve seen all this shit over the years. Pistons locked the calves down and instead of it being Detroit is very good, the story is harden is bad 😂😂😂
Surviving that knife fight that was the Magic series really galvanized the Pistons. They look scary.
Nobody fears the beard any longer…
DEEE troit basketball!!! What up doe!!
KD selling his soul changed the timeline. All three were supposed to be a one time MVP that couldn't get it done without each other. The greatest what if in NBA history. I think harden is the best outta all 3
The Pistons have the best defense in the NBA and its Hardens fault he cant score. Nonsense. I watched EVERY Pistons game this year. It DOESNT MATTER who it is…theyre getting shut down when the Pistons impose their will. The truth is, the Pistons didnt even approach their potential the first two games. JUST WAIT.
Idk how tf James Harden keeps getting these max deals when he’s horrendous in the playoffs. It’s not because he’s old this has always been him. This is the 30th time he’s had more turnovers then made FG’s
James harden wasn’t on the team that was up 3-1 on the warriors he was already in Houston
Dan sleeping on DET. Cavs are done. Series over
Thats why they Told Tobias sot a bit cause Detroit could sweep them
Don't think Hali avg 31 in the offs
Harden is facing two of the best defenders in the league in Cade Cunningham and Amir Thompson. It's not his age.
Once again all they want to talk about is the other team not the Pistons
Notice how everywhere you look there’s no love for the pistons. Just discussion on how they can’t see why the opponent blows it
Looks old??? Wait till dannyboy has on vrabel and/or russini. Those lovebirds are going to age about 10 to 15 years. Wait till their spouses Lawyers get them in court.
Detroit is just that good.
harden is old, overweight & over the hill.
He is a me first team cancer of a player. He is a playoff shrinker. Yeah his style in entertainment but does it win for you in the playoffs hell no!!!!
Same in 2004. Every conversation is about how the other team wasn't playing well. Detroit never gets respect. We're used to it. DETROIT VS. EVERYBODY
Man it has been brutal to watch.
Cade Cunningham looked anything but a great player for much of that Magic series. Ridiculous turnovers. But they used to call James Harden a great player to so..
Where do they find these clowns? Oh,that's right the circus..
He on one leg 🦵at end of career, time for Pistins to pick him up?? 😂
Harden is Fool's gold.
Russ is Fool's gold.
And sir…. Babe Ruth won a BUNCH with the Yankees. Don't use Ruth to make the 'great player despite lack of titles' point Dan. That's foolish!
Does Dan know Harden wasn’t on that 2016 Thunder team?
Too much politics on your desk. Police badges don't go with the large black sports fan base.
Kinda cringe!
No support from me, just disapproval. Never watch from the first time I saw that BS.
You had me at… “Cade Cunningham is wonderful” 🏀
You folks don’t get it. Pistons play defense, you are ignoring that side of the court. Same thing happened with the Bad Boys and Going to Work Pistons. It’s not that Harden is old, look at the others. Wise up national media.
As a Cavs fan, the roster is poorly constructed. Cade is a freaking star! Detroit is a fun team to watch.
Kinda jumped to the warriors series before adding the fact Harden had left before that, in case anyone missed that, but still good thought 🙏
The pistons defense wears on teams. Especially teams that shoot a lot of 3s. And they're big. Combined with having a superstar player.
I know he just didn't say Cleveland can come back and win this series 😅😅
Don’t put Hali in the same sentence as Cade. Cade was a top 3 MVP candidate this year. Also this isn’t about the Cavs it’s about the Pistons. They were the first seed and won 60 games for a reason.
Pistons are going to the finals.
