As expected, James Harden waxed ecstatic in the aftermath of his first match with the Nets. He would have been happy in any case; he moved to strut his stuff in a uniform other than that of the Rockets since the offseason, so seeing his machinations pay off was in and of itself cause for joy.

It was what he wanted, of course, and he made his sentiments felt way back in a tumultuous offseason that saw erstwhile backcourt partner Russell Westbrook leave in frustration. Since then, he had been on a scorched-earth offensive; he partied instead of practiced, breached health and safety protocols, showed up thoroughly out of shape, sulked his way to poor performances, and alienated teammates with his polarizing words and actions.
