    This is just the first of this especially with teams in Texas and Arizona where the virus is raging and nobody for the most part gives a ****.

    i mean if people paid attention to how guys like ben tested positive, you would think you could put two and two together. but yeah again like i said nobody cares about ben. But when it's harden, omg the world is ending

    Sam Amick says this contact tracing is not tied to Harden

    either Ben gave Covid to someone else on the team, or that other player was out fcking around and got it on his own

    I'm unsure how to feel about this. What if player that had contact tracing initiated was acting just as irresponsible as James, we just don't know about it because nobody cares. For example, let's say the player that led to this was Bruno Caboclo. Bruno was also at that party, he acted irresponsibly, picked up the virus and brought it back to the team.

    In that case, shouldn't the Rockets get a loss as punishment for player acting stupid? I mean I feel it should be this way already due to James doing what he did.

    Unless the player picked up innocently (for example, picked up food and somehow was next to someone with COVID), this should just be a loss and not postponed. Would suck for Silas to pick up his first career loss and he did nothing lol.

    So Harden is above reproach because he beat probability?

    so where's that same energy towards Ben and whoever tested positive. They're the ones who got covid and caused players to miss the game tonight

    I want to imagine what Kobe would have done if he was the leader of this team? I think he would scare his young guys shitless if they went to a party.


    Lebron would have the "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed" attitude.

    No, but why accuse him of something he was not involved in.

    Criticize him for his lack of mask awareness sure - that incident was not what caused the covid outbreak on the team.

    Faux outrage is a real thing.

    it’s nowhere to be found...they were hoping this would all be because of Harden

    the same reason Harden being at Turkey Leg Hut with no mask was previously the scandal of the month, but Rudy Gay and Demar were there just 3 days prior with no mask and then played against us in a preseason game the next day, and nobody gave a fck

    "Accusing" him or in others speculating it's him is perfectly rational given the context.

    Now we know it's not him. That doesn't change what he did.

    Kobe cursed out teammates & asked for a trade as well. The Lakers kept him and put better players around him (Gasol)

    Pfff .. Why? We are all men who breathe the same air and bleed the same way. The allure of some great sports player isnt going to stop other men from enjoying their life. Im pretty sure Kobe would get his ass beat if he approached certain teammates with that energy - not like Kobe was some ass whipping gangster.

    Would Kobe b**** and pout and make himself out to be better than anyone who didnt behave like him? Sure. Doesnt mean he was right.

    of course not. There's a bunch of nobodies in the league and they'll catch covid and nobody bats an eye. and things are just fine.

    as soon as the caliber of harden does something, it's the world is ending. while he is doing all these outrageous things, his teammates are the ones actually out and about catching covid. ironic
