Jalen Rose critical of James Harden's on-court demeanor, off-court actions

James Harden's conduct during key moments of the Rockets-Spurs series, and his conduct afterward, reflected a lack of humility and dignity that does not put the Rockets star in a good light, ESPN analyst Jalen Rose said Monday.

Rose, during a conference call to discuss the Western Conference finals between the Spurs and Warriors, said it's one thing to lose as an underdog, to a better team, but that he saw several things he didn't like about the manner in which the Rockets went down against San Antonio. He said he sensed what he described as a "disconnect" between Harden and his teammates early in Game 3, which the Rockets lost at Toyota Center.
