Shams: Harden has added bucks and heat to “preferred destinations”

Heated?
Maybe you’re reading more into it than you should.
It doesn’t matter what Russ believes, that’s opinion.
Facts are Rockets followed protocols. He was sick before bubble started and could have caught it while still in LA. He doesn’t know where it was.
The fact that he is placing blame on the Rockets for following league wide mandates, to somehow make it seem like their negligence is the reason for his poor play in the bubble is weak. Soft.

 

It's about the process, not the results in this case.

 

Results tend to matter more in this case. Process is window dressing, results are fact.

And really I don’t even care about the Covid aspect. I just think it’s weak he’s using that as a cop out.

 

You dont have any facts.

We have one party's side.

The other party has yet to refute or present its side. The Rockets have been completely quiet regarding Westbrook's allegations.

That makes me, and most rational people, suspicious.

But you go ahead and believe you have the "facts".

 

You do realize that California is almost double the population of Texas, right?

You must realize that, surely.

 

You have one players side that you are taking as fact. A disgruntled player that shat the bed in the playoffs per usual.

The league was very stringent in their policies, the Rockets were not fined for anything that I’m aware of, or was there any talk of policy failure from them. This was prior to Stone leadership as well. So I’m not sure what your axe to grind is with that.

This is a weird thing for you to defend Westbrook on honestly.

 

What? We dont even know where he got it, why would he not be mad about a place(where you work) that has lax regulations?

Why would you not care about that? It's a big deal?

 

You realize that is not even remotely close to accurate right?
39 mil to 29 mil.

 

i've added super models and yoga instructors to my list of preferred destinations...

 

Where did they have lax regulations? They followed NBA protocols like every other team. This wasn’t city ordinance. NBA had their own regulations.

 

Bro, doing the bare minimum to meet regulations is not the same thing as putting in real effort to keep your staff safe.

 

Where is this coming from? Westbrook? Really?
With how stringent the guidelines from the league were, I’m 100% sure that if there were any regulations or safety protocols being broken within Rockets facilities, there would have been some news or fines levied.

This is a dumb argument honestly. Dude wanted to blame someone for playing like ass, instead of manning up.

 

I haven't followed last few pages. But I've been under impression Westbrook likely acquired the covid thru his activism work towards season's end. I think any driven professional not emotionally hi-jacked by political BS woulda been isolated. Safe & sound. Ready for the playoffs. Not sure how brodie can blame rockers management for this. These guise are all full of it. Just strap up and win. Don't party in Vegas just because. Respect your teammates. How hard is that? Harden?

Edit. This bubble situation is the first time since probably college a bunch of millionaires had to tune out social media and deal with each other. I don't want to hear it

 

I'm not defending Westbrook.

I'm waiting on Rockets refutation.

But I feel like I'll be waiting a while.

 

Yeah, I’m not really concerned about that. Even if they are scumbags, the league would have came down hard on them already if there was any policy transgressions.

IMO this is a weak cop out from Westbrook.

 

Okay so Texas has almost 2/3rd of California's population.

But who is exaggerating more?

You said California has DOUBLE the cases when Cali has 1.3M cases and Texas has 1.2M cases, that is NOT double the cases.

In fact, Texas has 10,000 more deaths than California even though it has 100,000 fewer cases AND 10M fewer people.

 

If Westbrook wasn't at rallies and Harden didn't eat a pack of skittles outa strippers butthole we might of taken Lakers to 7

 

Look at cases in LA and cases in Houston.

 

488k cases in LA county
203k cases in Harris county.

 

And 8300 deaths for LA
3100 for Houston
