I noticed that he seems to be banned. Hopefully its a temporary ban. He was valuable to this forum. Maybe the powers that be were upset with him for leaking? I just hope he hasnt been kidnapped/killed yet
Anyone who has ever pulled a hamstring, no matter how minor, knows it's not an injury you shrug off. You can overcome lots of things through grit but not hammy pulls. That's why I knew the moment he walked stiff legged it would be at minimum a couple weeks if not more.
Whatever Harden does in his personal time is totally on him. He's a partier and the optics of him partying all the time after games doesn't look the best but that's on him. The most severe injury of his career may slow him down though.
Sure but don't complain and try and pin it on the team and coaches when he gets tired down the stretch again and again and again and again. He is not FULLY committed to winning DURING the season.
Said I was gonna avoid the GARM for a while with all these Harden haters (who I'm sure are happy) spewing nonsense in game threads or other threads. Anyways, John Lucas stopped by my job tonight and confirmed the timeline on James' injury (I'm trying to stay optimistic about it). Also said Luc is OUT for another 2 more weeks .
all I'm saying he's overated and he can't obsess and brag about beating gsw/spurs if the best he can do is come up with an 8-man rotation compared to gsw/spurs rotation
so who could have been more "committed" last year and won us more games in the regular season?

Gotta make the best out of a bad situation. If cp3 helps the team go even .500 and the team learns how to play without over relying on james harden then we should be in a great position to make a run with a fully healthy squad before the playoffs. It could even be a blessing in disguise if it doesnt linger and everyones 100% before the playoffs.
Sh*tty situation. Let's just look at the silver lining. We'll still be in the Playoffs, and I still think we'll be with homecourt. So we go into the Playoffs with a well rested Harden. Fingers crossed.
What is the time line? 2 weeks? 4-6? 6-8? Damn. I was joking he was 2 weeks away from being 2 weeks away but that may be the case.
