[Shams] Rockets staffer tested positive, more players facing quarantine

exactly. He wants to use lead by example but when it clearly doesn't apply under his terms, it shouldn't be brought up. classic

 

early returns suggest yes. yes you are.

 

grown men out here fcking up all on their own, but for some reason, only Harden should be held accountable or called out

John Wall and Cousins are 30, but we’re saying Harden is part of the reason they messed up like he drove them down to the apartment...Harden is part of the reason McLemore and this staffer caught Covid

-_-

 

Well i mean Harden was fined 50k. Its clear he broke protocol by confirming he was at the event in his ig post.

Relax max, of course people are going to blame Harden. Literally the last thing people saw when news broke of others testing positive, was another video of Harden at an event.

So is it that crazy people assumed it was because of Harden based on everything that's happened recently? It's not fair or right but It's not like hes been a saint this whole time either

 

How do we know it wasnt private or public? Like do we know the context. And he tested positive for a covid like a month afterwards? And the beach party or whatever it was, was outdoors? So there is a good chance he didnt catch it there. But lets say he's an idiot and hypocrtite here? Does that mean he cant be angry at whatever lax protocols there were here?

 

You can believe what you want dude, I believe him. I mean...look at whats happening now?

 

unlike u, I’m not with letting grown men off the hook when they also fck up just because they’re not the best player on the team

House, McLemore, Wall, Cousins, KJ, this staffer...they can only blame themselves

 

Bro folks are just upset he asked for a trade and feel betrayed by him. Him acting like a jack ass isn’t helping but you’re right, it’s irrational.

 

Amazing how the Media works
Say there is a robbery . . .show stock footage of a minority . . ..
and people ASSUME a minority did it . .. even if it is not true

In this case
It is . . . positive covid test . . .show Harden . . .and people assume he is positive or at fault

Rocket River

 

Because I know. it's a public venue. The simple fact was he was at the pool party with no mask. all the other details don't really matter. It wasn't a private event. That venue doesn't host private events on the days he was there.

so him complaining about covid protocols when he caught it himself and has been out and about. yeah he can shut up with all that

 

This is exactly what CP3 was the perfect teammate for James Harden. No one should hold Harden accountable for anything outside of what he is doing for himself. CP3 relishes the role of being the nag/micro manager that makes sure everyone is in line.

we miss you CP3, Harden can't be bothered. These are grown ass men.

 

look at it. look at him. he's still an idiot

 

if he didn’t catch it there, then he was just lucky...he can be angry, but he can’t act like he had been taking Covid so seriously the entire time

 

his situation doesn't have a relation to the rest of these guys actually catching covid. There's a huge difference some of these lames can't separate. The fact that there's people trying to blame him directly is pathetic

The fact that there's 0 accountability towards guys like bmac, kmart, rockets staff etc getting covid and causing others to miss time is nonsense. But but but harden's fault who is negative, gave them covid

 

I know you're following what im saying because I compared this situation to one of your absolutely favorite players.

Lebron had MUTIPLE headcases on his championship team. Many players coming onto that team with many bonehead strikes on their record. not one screw up.

Im going to keep it there. Dont accuse me of deflecting when you are avoiding the direct comparison im making.

i see you.

 

preach...it’s getting so ridiculous

you’d swear it was Harden and a bunch of 14 yo kids not capable of making their own decisions

 

Because athletes dont have any pull....cmon man.

Why? Even if he's a hypocrite, that doesnt mean the other party was responsible? Look at whats happening now?

He at least got to play opening night.

I dont see how this makes the Rockets look better. This isnt about Westbrook, this about this organization being run in a poor manner.

 

I simply do not care about your attempts to rope in Lebron...everything you’re saying is already stemming from a ridiculous premise of Harden being responsible for all these other guys catching Covid or having to be in quarantine, and then you’re trying to tie in ol’ Bron into that nonsense? Stop

 

you must have never been to vegas? Athletes are just like anyone else in vegas. I can have the same pull as harden as an example just by knowing the right people. I've literally seen nba athletes at EBC XS all these clubs just like they any other regular person. Ive seen athletes having to wait in line while others skip them. There is no pull you're referencing. You're assuming westbrick said EBC shut the place down just for me. Nah that's not how it works. I can literally book a table and right next to me is some athlete, which just for reference has happened

 

Then your expectations are a little unrealistic. Have you been following the drama the last few months? Dude wants out and has been at odds with the organization pretty much since last season ended. Why would he be taking a Lebron-esque leadership role for a team he has no desire to have a long-term future with?

Don't get me wrong. I'm still extremely pissed at Harden for breaking protocol twice now and setting a horrid example for the franchise. But blaming the actions of others on him feels a little silly given that he's has made it clear he doesn't want to be here.

The whole organization deserves blame at this point. It's not all on James.
