Strip club. Take the club out and beard would be solid. Someone needs to explain that to James. I agree with a clutch fan that this lawsuit was prob the reason beard sent his twin to play game 6. Can't he just watch p*rn like the rest of us?
Do you remember how Tiger Woods got in trouble because of all the side pieces he kept? Well, once they took that away from him.... Let's just say Tiger has been more of a wussy cat if you catch my drift. Harden - Strip Club = Not James Harden.
He actually needs a kid. Then he can learn to take care of someone. Take more responsibility. He won't get snubbed. You can't quit on your kid.
I think the real issue is substance abuse. The effects are there. What substance, who knows? But, there something that is making him look hung over, slow, and ineffective. I think we are looking at a budding Stevie Francis. This board was in denial for years about his substance abuse even though the signs were there. Same thing. My guess is that as the playoff pressure increases, he goes clubbing to relieve it, often the night or morning before the big game. But, this is counterproductive as he appears "stoned" and throws the ball all over the court. Remember two years ago when he set the record for turnovers in a playoff game? Well? Many on this board will reject this theory for a variety of reasons, but I think it is the most plausible explanation for his apparent "heartlessness."
I gave this real consideration as well... honestly, been waiting for the Harden checks himself into rehab story... My thought was either he was out the night before and thought he was doing a little bump of one thing to party and turned out it was something else... and he never was able to sleep... or he thought he was doing a little bump to get amped and focus in for the game... and it was something else... which had completely opposite effects.... Before I get flamed... I'm not claiming any of this happened... just throwing it out among the litany of possibilities for his no show on game 6... Because watching that game... his reluctance to shoot (total of 2 first half shots), 0 rebounds for the first half, more turnovers than assists for the first half... i cant see that as just tired or poor play... I mean there were times he couldnt throw the ball to a stationary player 4 feet away... he couldn't hit free throws.... The most obvious reasons were either he was messed up - or purposefully dogging the game... again, not saying those are the only possibilities... just what appears most evident to me...
It is an entirely reasonable explanation. Not only is the offender in denial, but many of their supporters are also in denial, some on this board. Unfortunately denial is a rejection of reality and reality wins in the end.
the strip club gives Harden his powers though. I will say that if Harden could find a wife he would be able to focus more on basketball though. Look at Kobe, LeBron, Curry, and Westbrook. They are all married.
Fantastic. You all now sound like those idiots at Fox News. "Yeah, give President Trump a break, you propaganda fake news media, he is a 5 years old kid needs special care!!!" Somewhere Wilt Chamberlain was awake but then laughing out to death again inside his coffin.
I remember a few years ago a lot of ya guys would mad at me for spilling some of James secrets in the clubs etc. He does what he does, that will never change but this year he's been more focused. The club life will never leave him.
