    That's not my point. You don't agree with the league's punishment, but they're the ones who investigated and know the situation. I'd have to say the league office is more likely to levy an appropriate punishment that some guy who's mad at Harden for being stupid.

    The money Harden's likely to lose is getting steeper.

    That's BS.

    Harden was stupid but so was the rest of the team for entirely different but equally stupid reasons.

    Remember when Russ complained about Rockets FO lacking stronger Covid protocols?

    That’s better I don’t think Harden would like to lose 334m per game.

    I feel if he breaks protocol again he should get fine 100k, then 200k on the 3rd or make it 1m. Idk

    nvm this is good too
    I doubt he will want to miss games.
    Hopefully he follows through with the protocols

    NBA can't fine him more, they will be labeled racist and Lebron will take his business to the honorable nation of China.

    Durant will join him and they will form the Shanghai Sharks, World champions.

    Anthony Davis will follow.

    So will the warriors team.

    NBA culture ... why would you want your kids watching ?

    I was quoting an earlier Woj tweet. There’s a Stein tweet two posts above that says same thing.

    I don't see how the other rockets players were doing anything stupid or equally bad.

    They don't seem to have broken any rules afaik. Getting a haircut at a friend's place isn't prohibited as long as they weren't violating any other rules such as number of people etc.

    Isn't it just a case of being unlucky one of them was somehow already infected?
