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