    Man, I thought they hated Harden on reddit......looking at some of those tweets they REALLY REALLY hate Harden on twitter.

    Its so weird man, people are always after Harden. Dude is always under a microscope. Wether its media, former players, current players, current coaches...good lord, and another thing why are there SO MANY Anti Harden strategies/articles written out there? Like I never see that much attention for Curry(even pre Durant),Lillard,Irving, Lebron, Giannis, Kawhi, Davis..none of them...no strategy videos.

    What has amazed me is how many people continued, with video evidence hitting them smack in the face, to say there was no contact... or it grazed his beard.... or nothing hit him in the throat.

    People just want to hate. It makes them feel better... they prefer the misleading video to the reality of the situation.

    Yeah, and while i can understand the Jazz fans cause, they are about to get swept and they can't complain about luck or about the refs so, the only way they have to let off their anger, is to pour it to an alleged flop of the player who's putting an end to their season, i can't understand other teams fans, but i guess for some people it works this way, when you see/hear something untrue for ten times, it becomes real, especially if it suits your agenda, and especially in the internet era, where anyone can basically build a fake news from nothing.

    Also earth is flat, vaccines cause autism, etc. Social media has just made it so that any idea, no matter how zany, can be made to seem popular, and thereby valid.

    Harden is the Big Bad, the super villain, the Joker to the rest of the league’s Batman, Thanos, etc. No one knows how to stop him, but everyone thinks they know and has an opinion. In the end, the only thing that’s stopped him is a super team with the refs on their side. And even if you stop him once, he’ll adapt and come back to crush your soul again and again.

    None of the other players in the league are as scary as Harden. None of them have as high a floor as Harden. None of them have the basketball IQ. So, he’s cast as the villain; the guy that other players need to overcome to be considered truly great.

    Yup, can't go around admitting you may have made a mistake. Your entire sense of self-worth might be on the line!

    Also, a lot of times the most painful shots don't really look like anything on camera. Real life is not Rocky IV.

    Goodness these are the same dolts that cheered Stockton, Malone and Hornacek flopping their way to the NBA finals back in 98? Least self aware fans in the NBA

    Putting the salt in Salt Lake City. Let them hate, it’s literally all they have. God knows they don’t have a good basketball team.

    I will say, social media is weird man. Nobody thinks for themselves and they just copy others for likes/retweets whatever. It’s all just a false reality to make people feel better about their shitty lives. But seriously, people believe anything. The earth is flat. We never landed on the moon. Vaccines cause autism. An actual shed is a 5 star restaurant. Social media is the weirdest thing. It’s really sad honestly, sometimes makes me think humanity is screwed.

    Try lightly tapping your throat. Now imagine the point of an elbow with momentum to the throat.

    I think Utah easily has the most annoying fans in the league. I believe we've known this for some time. It is why Utah doesn't deserve to win, and their fans deserve to be humiliated and stuck losing every single game that it can happen.
