Harden Unlikely to Play Due to violation of Covid Protocol

Ramona Shelburne thread on Harden debacle

Harden has told NBA investigators he believed he was in compliance with NBA health and safety protocols, according to a source close to the situation.

Harden has told the league that he attended a seated dinner for a friend who’d recently been promoted at work, according to the source.

Harden has said he entered through a separate entrance and sat in a separate area of the venue with his security detail.

Harden has told the league he took a photo with his friend, when he gave her a gift. Harden also claimed he left after approximately 30 minutes, and did not continue on with the group, which went to other locations later in the night.

 

I’ll accept your conspiracy and ruse you a stratagem

Raphael knew early today that 7 guys were going to be put into quarantine, so he told Harden to lie and implicate himself to force a postponement. ​

 

SMFH

James Harden is so unprofessional!

So disappointed...

 

Serious question:

Which championship team want this James Harden? SMH.

Harden is the cancer now.

 

LOL

So 7 other players are covid or quarintined. . . nothing to do with Harden ,. . ..
but still . . .. Harden's Fault

Harden throwing how he doesn't care about the protocols and still some stump for Harden? You would agree he shares some blame, right?

 

Maybe a bit .. but if he did everything right .. . the game would have still been postponed
I don't think he deserves more blame than anyone else

I guess he was suppose to be the one to tell the others not to get the the haircuts?

He is supposed to bare minimum follows protocol. I know Harden is not the leader we want him to be, but who knows if KJ is looking at Harden and thinking he can also do silly sh*t. Or why should he act a certain way when the best player is acting like a jack ass.

Harden is annoying.

 

I bet Harden gets days off on drug testing days. Grab a string of his stripper Booty beard and you find more than the greeeeeen. I got flagged for saying the same thing 4-5 years ago lol. Let’s goooo

 

Should have been fined way more imo.

 

Yeah wish it was more. this is not hurting anyone.

 

I am an unhappy camper! I want my Rockets basketball fix. Hallucinations have begun, and I'm an expert on hallucinations. I told my significant other that the Rockets game was cancelled and this was her response.





I didn't have the nerve to tell her that she's now a redhead and a little bit younger.

 

He deserves to be fined (way more), but so do the other guys. The rules are screwed up if they allow ‘apartment haircuts’ that lead to quarantine without some kind of fine. No news on how BMac was infected, maybe he was out somewhere he shouldn’t have been. A bunch of unserious people make up this Rockets roster.

 

I generally agree with your statement about people here overreacting on players acting out. Btw- this isn't the first one in my memory. There was the moutiejunas case in which the guy eventually f*ck himself in the a**. Anyways, i support Harden shxttying on management, the team and hell please do that to the owner, but I hate seeing him put his personal gripes at the expense of his teammates. They truly doesn't deserve this shxtshow. And one day Karma might come back.

 

@ch44

 

They should be able to suspend a player and fine him not a flat 50k but 1/82 of his annual salary

 

Suspend him for the year and next year he still has 2 years left on contract.

 

fwiw: It’s the Max dollar *fine* the NBA can give a player. More monetary pain is only done through suspension.
