    Rahat Huq at red94.net had that same opinion. It actually checks the most boxes of all the theories so far. If/when any of the current players is let go, maybe they can shed some light on what went on in the locker room...I wonder if we could start a kickstarter to bribe an anonymous source in the locker room to tell us the truth, sure seems like enough folks would pony up lol

    Other; He did what he usually does in games where his team is facing elimination -- fail.

    Don't forget, Harden was not good against the Clippers when the Rockets were up against the ropes and Josh Smith and those guys made a huge comeback. He wasn't even a part of that. If it was up to him the team would've gone home that day.

    And then in the next series against GS he set a record for turnovers in a playoff game.

    Whatever the reason for his playoff letdowns, we better hope he gets it figured out because the team has no chance as constructed to be anything more than a cute little regular season side story.

    Butt hurt theory. He didn't like all the criticism so he did his little pouting routine. We saw the same crap when he finished runner up in MVP to Steph. And when the D12 project had run its course. Hopefully he grows up at some point.

    Seems like the legal distractions are a legitimate theory also.
