might be intentional as part of a trade demand. I personally would love to see him in Europe, but it would never happen due to the lack of strip clubs.

Losing to a very shorthanded Nuggets team at home is inexcusable. They got problems.

What’s the deal with him? He went from averaging 34 ppg in 2019/2020 to having 15 total 30 point games from the start of the 2021 season to now.

2 of the 4 wins were against the spurs who are barely a real team

Should've stayed with the Nets, it was a few games, but when they were all actually healthy they were decent. Just a lot of bad circumstances, but now both KD and Kyrie are in better spots yet its Harden that led to the breakup of that team.

This is the Sixers Rudy Gay trade. The Raptors were in a much better spot with a few new servicable bench players. The Clippers not so much. After that loss last night a guy like DJ is exactly what they need lol. Zubac can't cut it.

Age + a major injury....what's confusing?

Harden sucks. Glad that sixers got rid of that loser and he's been exposed for the fraud he is.

There wasn't a major injury though...

I'm talking about the true Magic City style vibes. Brothels and even higher tier brothels are thriving and easily accessible. I can remember Harden used to spend his summers in Barcelona, working out in the neighbouring city of Badalona. So maybe it met his criteria.

One of Badalona's former coaches got criticised for taking his players to a brothel after a game / after games as part of a team building event many years ago. So the quality might be good enough to please the demands of a connoisseur like James Harden.

I can remember how Harden fans were trying to push the strained hamstring narrative. Imagine CP3 fans doing the same thing after 2015 for every following season. Or LBJ fans saying he lost to the nuggets last year because of his groin strain in 2019. People even tried to explain how soccer players can recover from hamstring injuries because their movement demands are so different and they don't have to do euro steps or hesitation moves in the pick n roll, therefore, hamstring strains have no long term impact on their performance.

100%.

Kyle Lowry level. Only Lowry is three years older.

COOKED.

Paul's recovery was impressive and most of us still show it as proof of Paul's work ethic and dedication to his body. Nobody's spending time trying to claim Harden went vegan and change his life style to recover. It was a major injury and he hasn't moved the same sense. Doesn't mean we're saying he's made every effort to heal and it would have been impossible. He's near 35 now and his body isn't going to get better now. It sucks being 35 in sports.

No it wasn't. There wasn't some major reconstructive surgery involved or a nerve issue that took months of diligent rehab to come back from.

Harden was legitimately hurt in the playoffs on the Nets, and he deserves credit for trying to tough that out... After that... It was just a built in excuse.

Mans was just playing you fam.
