There have been reports out of the Houston Rockets organization that both James Harden and Chris Paul can’t stand each other.
According to Rockets swingman PJ Tucker, there aren’t big issues between Paul and Harden.
In fact, speaking to The Athletic Sam Amick this week, Tucker called the supposed conflict “fake news” and that the tension after the team’s Game 6 loss to the Golden State Warriors wasn’t anything out of the ordinary given the circumstances.
Via The Athletic:
“I’m sick of the fake news man. It’s fake. Everybody – I argue with Chris and James more than Chris and James argue.
“It was what it was. Everybody’s mad. Everybody’s pissed. You can’t – I’m sick of all the highlight of whoever this person is trying to come up with all this crap, like I argue with Chris and James more than Chris and James argue with each other. Like, I’m the center, focal (point) of the argument because I’m always yelling at somebody and they’re yelling at me. So for me, it’s like ‘If you’re not arguing…’ You don’t think Kobe and Shaq argued?”
“If we win a championship together and we f—ing hate each other, then guess what? Who cares? (Laughs) Nobody. Right, so that’s all that matters. At the end of the day, that’s all that matters. Winning a championship. Everything else is failure.”
Tucker is being a team guy. He wouldn’t throw anyone under the bus, so of course he’s going to say everything is fine.
The real question is, do you believe him?
