    If James and Wood play we are fine. Having Wall out is a blessing.

    I agree, we’re screwed. But if we are, I’m taking him down with us. Call it petty or whatever you want. He’s hurting his rep with the partying as well, so suspend him and see if anyone will take him.

    Everything is very confusing right now. Now people are saying that Rockets players might have gotten it from playing the Bulls since some players tested positive over there.

    Why is Wall being out " a blessing"?

    doesn't even need to be as divisive and petty as you make it though. There are Rocket fans on both sides of this polarizing situation and it should be addressed on a per case basis.

    Looks like many people jumped the moon on wanting Harden to be responsible for this outbreak, but it appears it wasn't him. Now what?

    Harden apparently has received a good amount of backlash enough to issue a social media response at least, and everyone who wanted him to be the scapegoat now has egg on their face.

    We need a unified front with ROX Nation and while emotions run high and we are all susceptible to rash posts and opinions, calmer heads need to prevail in the end if it really is for the betterment of the team.

    Im in the boat that Harden is the best player we can have in any trade involving him and we should make it when the return will be the highest - UNLESS he intentionally goes out of his way to sabotage and hurt the Rockets - which at first I jumped to a conclusion about regarding the outbreak of Covid on the team, and which he received heat for when he shouldnt have and only increased his acrimony with the team.

    Whatever can distract me from being furious at James, I'll take it.

    All that may be true, but none of it excuses Harden from his infantile behavior

    Asking for a trade or wanting one is fine imo... But blatantly disrespecting not only your teammates and profession, but every person who has been affected by this global pandemic is inexcusable.

    Hardens willful disregard of the societal rules and restrictions these past weeks is the epitome of selfishness and can only be blamed on himself. it's not the fault of his employers or his mom or the nba, the dude is 31 years old.

    Hey at least Harden found a new group of fans - covid deniers.

    Correct, not in this particular case. But he’s the main character/root cause in this overarching sh*tshow

    Immunity could wear off any time.

    There are studies that not every human is automatically immune, some can't replicate the RNA.

    In case something happened later on.

    Immunity can wear off, and a relatively scant few people have been reinfected. Nobody really knows, and Harden should definitely be more careful.

    In his mind, though, I imagine he feels pretty safe not wearing a mask nowadays.

    You don't know that, he might have been the one that gave it to the others...or not.

    In his mind, he could also think, what are few more months, I am a creator, creators never follow.

    I'll be out of here.

    Did I say it did?

    I am looking at this from the reality of the situation, I don't think there will be any long term consequences to James Harden.
