Uh oh, here we go! Drama already! Harden's timeframe for return is just going to get pushed back the same way it did with Andrew Bynum. Treadmill is gonna keep breaking down at the facility again, then rumors will swirl about him overeating and not being in shape. Next thing you know he'll fall down an open elevator shaft and be out for the season.
Honestly the treadmill malfunction bit when Bynum was here was head and the shoulders the most ridiculous excuse I have ever heard in the history of pretty much anything.

Combined with him weirdly showing up a couple days late here after the trade was completed, not attending either of our weekend games. Just giving me weird vibes.

Red flags

Dude, remember, chill.

I think if he doesn't play after the break, there is cause for concern. But yo know what, it's still better than having no one. Even if Harden is out through April, once he's bettter, he'll be waaaaaaaaaaay better than no Ben at all. We are killing it right now, and a loss here and there isn't going to ruin our chances. Wooosaaah. Serenity now. Whatever helps you, just relax bro.

Who was the poster that always used to hit the panic button on everything? Unbreakable IIRC?

Has it occurred to you that Morey got fleeced?

Indeed, he had quite the ironic User Name, lol.

Camera angles and what not, but Harden is a big boy.

6'5 scoring machine.

Jo, Harden, Maxey is what we thought Jo, Ben, Fultz was going to be.

I am assuming this is all for show to try and prevent any fines and/or tampering investigations.

Also Houston management always gave Harden run of the joint. This gives him time to do the real people things like try out all the strip clubs and figure out which is his favorite. :lol:

Looks like Nash had run him into the ground, last 2 games were 37 minute back to backs. I don't believe he has a grade-able strain though since he had an MRI done.

Yep. He can eat all the wings at Delilah's he wants if he's putting up 25/10/10.

It might be harder for him at 33, though. Maybe not.

He was doing the same thing to KD, not shocking both ended up with injuries. I really like Harden coming into a set team with far more role player depth than Brooklyn. We complain about some of our depth, but a lot were playing out of position as PG's and lacking actual PG's to make their lives easier. The Nets roster was pretty barren with most other than LMA falling apart amongst the older guys and Nash not always trusting the younger ones.

I also recall Morey and Doc saying they quickly explained to Harden in no uncertain terms that this if Joel's team, not that anyone even remotely watching needs to be told that. Harden is a lot worried about looking like the bad guy, best behavior can be expected for quite some time (on court, off court the man likes what he likes).

So, is 'The Process' complete?

I'll back off on my Tobias nit picking. See how he goes after this reshuffle. Hope he's inspired to be more aggressive though.

Where did you see the stuff about it being Jo's team?

Has it occurred to you that the nets got fleeced.

Wait, who is the servant lol.

A stupid nickname Kevin Durant gave himself.

Honestly, it's actually pretty self-aware. Durant is admitting he can't cook so he's taking himself out of the kitchen and putting himself on the wait staff.
