For all the talk swirling about a rematch between the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, one person isn’t paying attention: James Harden.
“We have four or five games left before the postseason starts, that’s our focus, just getting better and taking care of business,” Harden said according to Sporting News. “I’m so focused on what we have to do in this locker room that it doesn’t matter who we play [in the playoffs]. The West is so great that any given night or any opponent you play in that first round is going to be difficult.”
“I think the most important thing is us playing well. [If] we get there, we get there. If not, we’re playing well and our swag is where it needs to be, it doesn’t matter what seed we’re in,” Harden told reporters after Tuesday night’s win against the Sacramento Kings. “We’ve been healthy as of late so we’ve got to continue that and continue to find a rhythm on both ends of the ball and be ready.”
