I'll just say it..Is James Harden "throwing games" for reasons we don't know?

    I've seen a few videos on youtube on the fringe/tin foil side of things and I gotta say it's perplexing to say the least

    I've wondered about this every playoff year with him. To me he looks like he has been threatened - him or his family - something bad. He could be playing obviously bad to give hints that something is wrong. He almost looks sorry when playing this badly - like he doesn't want to be doing it - but has to - or else. The bad play is certainly getting attention - perhaps it's his plea for help. I hope this is investigated.

    People would trade Harden to the Spurs for simmons, Ginobili and Spare parts
    and spend the next 10 years b****ing about . .. WHY DIDN'T HE PLAY LIKE THAT FOR US . . .

    his "handlers" told him to lose the game by 40 ****in points or he'll ****in die? lol

    yeah its weird these choke games he has look like he forgot how to play basketball. and did anyone see the press interview? its like he was on drugs with his hands on the table then pulling his hands back lol what was that about?

    however, this is his 5th straight po's as the man on his team, and each po's he's CHOKED! i can give him an exception to last year cuz the whole team sucked. every star gets a free pass on their first year. after that no more andhe keeps choking.

    i dunno wtf is going on with him but we cant keep building around him if we wanna contend. if we wanna sell tickets and just be a good team then its not bad at all. expecting him to break this choking habit is asinine. superstars dont take this long. 5 tries is way too many.

    i do agree this stuff needs to be investigated in all pro sport, not just nba, but this wasnt a blackmail issue. just a classic, or should i say rare, chokejob from an extremely talented player. goes to show how important mental health is.

    a 40pt "shave" lol lord have mercy.

    and btw, i too am what you would call a "conspiracy theorist" thoough i dont call myself that. im not with the conpsiracies you find on the internet i think most of them are bs but w/e.

    so if i, a "conspiracy theorist", dont believe this blackmail stuff then this discussion is over! mofos lost by 40pts, END OF CONSPIRACAAAH!

    Harden has 200M adidas contract, 120M rockets contract. I don't think he risk all these for some million bucks for point shaving.

    It certainly looks like it sometimes. His body language in certain games is extremely unusual.

    Anyone who gambles knows that sports is rigged.

    Look at all the AMAZING COMEBACKS in all of the major sports last year and how it ended in their championship games

    Cleveland comes back down from 3-1 and a buzzer beater in game 7 on the road
    Cubs come back down 3-1
    Clemson beats alabama with 1 second left on the clock
    Patriots come back from 25 to with the Superbowl in OT........AND WHOEVER CAN'T SEE HOW RIGGED THIS IS I CANT SPEAK TO YOU....Who is up 25 and snapping the ball with 15 seconds left on the playclock and PASSING THE BALL.

    It was just the nature of his turnovers that made it so damn supicious. They weren't just his usual pick and roll turnovers, they were passes that you'd see made at the local YMCA. Stuff you'd see from weekend warriors.
