    Similar to Tom Brady, amid the closing of alcoholic establishments, Harden has admittedly walked accidentally into his own home on several occasions.

    If by "misleading" you mean crappy disingenuous clickbait, I concur.

    I wish I could take credit, but you were dumb from the get go.

    Next time read the entire quote. FWIW Harden has been working out 2-3 times a day for weeks in addition to yoga, modified diet, weight training and endurance and agility training.

    You're just as big a sack of potatoes as he is. When did I ever say anything about him being lazy? I said "anything to avoid playing in the playoffs", which as been routinely been the thorn on his side since he came here aside from a few exceptions.

    "I want to wait until this pandemic has calmed down before resuming activities."

    Honestly, if this isn't the mindset of a person these days, I fear for society.

    At what point in time has this ever been true?

    A sack of potatoes? You wish you were in the shape that Harden is.

    Learn to read and comprehend. Harden didn’t say he was missing the playoffs.

    Now get back to cleaning the tables at What-a-burger.

    Fear gets clicks and shares, and they know it. Here's another example... there was a mass aggregation cycle yesterday involving a juicy quote from Joe Ingles. One problem? Nobody mentioned the important context that it was said over two months ago.

    Interesting quote by Ingles, though. Kinda extreme to verbalize that you'll leave basketball over the virus. I mean, thinking it is fine and all, but to actually physically say it, and have it quote by someone? Pretty irresponsible.

    You have to respect the man's decision and his opinion.

    Different for Ingles, he is prolly just happy to have made the NBA, he is an Aussie, could essentially still play in Europe or Australia.

    The situation in Australia is pretty much under control opposed to America.

    Fans not ready to watch playoff James Harden.

    "It's just not safe."

    Kendrick Perkins came in with another dumb take saying Harden needs to think about other players who need to work since they only earn millions of dollars a year. Shame on Harden for caring about safety first

    Only rocket suffering financially is Austin Rivers.

    Don't think Rivers is suffering too adversely but could be wrong.

    Wishing God speed to Houston, hulkamaniacs, worldwide!

    Rockets star James Harden said Wednesday he is all for the idea of the NBA returning to play in a single-site scenario — as long as the resumption of the 2019-20 season can be deemed safe for all involved.

    “For me it’s all about safety,” Harden said via email. “If the league and public officials are confident that a single-site setup is safe for all players, staff and fans, then I’m ready to go. I want to get back out there I just want to make sure we’re in a good position to so.”

    Harden, speaking in conjunction with an advertising campaign for the sports drink BodyArmor, said he has been training for the return of the season. Harden had worked out in Scottsdale, Ariz. and has since returned to Houston where he was among the players that trained in Toyota Center last week when the Rockets’ facilities were opened for players in voluntary, individual workouts.

    “I’ve been working out a lot,” Harden said. “Keeping up conditioning with a lot of cardio which I think will be beneficial if and when the season resumes.”
