James Harden: I thought winning was all that matters?
James Harden prepares for the series against the Boston Celtics and talked about his numbers
James Harden prepares for the series against the Boston Celtics and talked about his numbers: «I thought winning was all that matters?. When I was doing the stats and putting up the numbers, it wasn’t good enough. So, at some point we’ve gotta figure out what we’re talking about. But it’s all about winning».
Harden averaged 24.6 points in his first season with Nets, and after five weeks injury scored 18 and 5 points in last two games: «My impact doesn’t have to show up on the stat sheet for us to win. I think my job as a leader is to make sure everybody’s playing well. If I’m doing that, I can focus on myself last. That’s not a problem at all».
Now the next opponents will be the Boston Celtics: «Some teams say, ‘We just need to do what we do best’ — and that’s just not good enough at times. But for us, that is a great quote, and if we do that, then we definitely have a chance».
