    That’s what I love about James Harden. He is durable and has passion for the game of basketball. When he sprained the ankle every time, he was like i wanted to keep playing through it and stayed in the game. Many times I see players except James Harden sprained the ankle, they were like I was done for the night and missed few games or even two months, lmao. So what is the difference between James Harden and other players? I am lucky to have James Harden on our team.

    Love MDA. But he is stubbornly careless when it comes to sitting his stars in blowouts. Harden shouldn't have been in the game at that point in the 1st place

    I still think it’s incredibly ****ing stupid to have your stars in up 35 with 5 min to go.

    Don't jinx It OP. Sprains can be mild or severe, depending on how much damage there is to the ligaments. There can even be complete rupture of ligaments and fractures involved on the severe ones. The more severe obviously the more pain and swelling involved. So relax. His was minor.

    Too bad he doesn’t have Westbrook’s killer instinct, so aptly demonstrated in the playoffs last year, amirite?

    So Westbrook’s “all” is losing in the first round in 5 games?

    Except he rolled his ankle, not sprained it.

    Rolling your ankle hurts like **** for a minute or two and then you're fine, its just hyperextension, not a tear.

    I agree. Doesn't make sense to me either. Why risk it for no reward?

    MDA needs to know you cant risk you're best players long term health by playing him like that after he clearly looked injured

    you dont know subtle delicacies of the mind and state of being a basketball genius coach and a hof player, one of the best ever... i am sure they both had some valid reason for doing what they did
