The Clippers are now 4-7 since trading for Harden, or 0-1 in his "ready" state.

Memes aside, he was okay this game, but okay isn't good enough when you're with a fully healthy Clippers vs a Reggie Jackson-led Nuggets.

Harden isn't exactly playing terribly as a Clippers, but at this point in his career, it's hard to justify an offence-first player on a team as offensively stacked as the Clippers when they're in desperate need of some more off-ball movement.

Harden is looking to secure a max extension, we'll have to see what kind of contract he can muster as he gets more into game shape as the season progresses.

🀝 Shitting on James Harden

Dude I think it’s most of the league at this point besides rocket fans and fans of whichever team he’s most recently forced his way on to. Pre-2017 I was pretty neutral about Harden, then after about a game and a half into the spurs-rockets playoff series he’d already flopped his way onto my 5 or so most hated players of all time.

Then that's a pretty good way to say you're simply projecting and/or being a sheep. James is fine, but the jerk is obviously gonna go whenever he has a bad game.

My wife, who knows nothing about basketball, said in response to this clip: β€œHe’s given up on life.”

[–] OUEngineer17@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She's not wrong if he's a "basketball is life" guy. Lucky for him, it seems there are some extracurriculars that he also enjoys...

I think it's pretty clear this dude lacks the Danny Rojas enthusiasm for his sport.

We love Ted Lasso references

he has trouble bending down to pick up a ball

he tried today and kicked it

[–] Paralta@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The Bobby Hill approach

[–] PogoMarimo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Kicking it would have been a valid option here as well.

just assuming everyone else would give up on the play as well

god I miss Saddiq

Damn that guy really shows max effort

Pretty normal for the sub, you ain't getting any serious discussions in a typical thread anyways. Harden stans just be quiet rn cause any other opinion than treating Harden like Hitler is going to be downvoted.

[–] Rakkuuuu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

When it's all said and done, the beard will be as taboo as the Hitler stache, and it'll all be Harden's fault.

[–] Sweatytubesock@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The Jim Harden Special.

[–] Contenxcnjh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He needed 10 to get back in shape. Now he needs another 10 to warm up.

[–] Accomplighd@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I wonder which team will sign him to a max this offseason given how ass he is right now.

[–] Frankalicious47@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Which time? He did that twice, once while trying to walk the dog then kicking it to Watson and falling down then again at the end of the 4th

yeah he is pretty garbage, and has been so for a while. the fact that the league keeps humoring him and paying him is wild.
