Is anyone concerned about Harden's head

Give the man a break. He was sick. he's our mvp.

Never seen a MVP hated by his own fans so much.

 

how long does it take for concussion symptoms to wear off. hopefully Pels steal one and Harden gets time to recover

 

anywhere from days to months or even years. depends on the severity, also depends on if you've had one before (harden has). brain injuries ain't no joke

 

IMO this was not a concussion. Compare today to last year's Game 6. Harden wasn’t having trouble focusing. He just looked like he didn’t have much lift or gas at times.

Give the man a break. He’s our MVP.

 

Whatever the ****'s ailing him, he'd probably need a senzu bean stat, because it seems like the Pelicans aren't doing us any favors tonight.

 

what happened to video in OP? Anyone have that video? Please post again.

 

No hat = Concussed.

Legit.

 

anyone have the video?

 

Since OP vid is deleted, I went ahead and made my own version, with slo-mo for sound:

 

Hope he doesn't get the 'big head'...

 

I'm not one to believe in conspiracy theories etc .... but Harden did look like he hit his head hard in that game .

Couple that with video evidence vs spurs last year and the subsequent poor play ....

Then add on that he played poorly the next 2 games in the Utah series . ( I missed game 4 so I can only look at stats for that one )

I think it's a question that's worth asking at the very least .

Rockets fans have learned to mistrust kieth jones and the medical staff . Some of that is bad luck with injury prone players , some of that is lack of being upfront ( this is more on the team in general ) with fans about injury status .

All the rockets had to do to assuage any concerns fans had was to put harden through the concussion protocol after game 3 and report it . I never saw a tweet saying he was examined ... and therefore I have no reason to believe that the rockets ever examined him .

Harden has had concussions in the past ( at least the one vs arrest ) and he's your franchise player . Even if he's not showing symptoms... he took a hard hit to the head , be cautious and have him checked out .

In my untrained and completely amateur opinion , there was no downside to putting him through the protocol after game 3 . The fact that they didn't do it , seems reckless .

 

I know he grew up with asthma..hopefully allergies aren't flaring up for him right now and causing him to be sick. A few people I know who are sensitive around this time are feeling it.
