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.

      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.
