According to NBA reports, both of them are also settling in with the Rockets and rely on each other. In December, analyst Jay Williams had talked about James Harden and Russell Westbrook not trusting each other. He highlighted a moment with only 5 seconds left on the clock. James Harden appeared to look at Russell Westbrook but hesitated to make a pass despite him being wide open. Harden passed the ball to Westbrook, who missed the shot. Williams pointed out that it is a major issue for the Rockets as the game draws to an end. William also implied that Harden thought twice before passing the ball to Westbrook. He thinks that Harden must be wondering if he can trust his No.2 and if Westbrook can't shoot, Harden would not want him on the Rockets' roster as it does not suit their offence. While most people agreed with Williams, many thought he was reading too much into the situation.
