    And in other news, water is wet... dude's mind was on big booty hoes while his team made a furious come back to send the game to OT, not surprisingly his body language said he wanted the game to be done with.

    Win = strip club, Loss = get on the plane and show up for practice tmr at 8am.

    Cant use all that energy on D when the strippers are waiting on it at the club...

    Odom was found unconscious in a brothel.... not suggesting anything but I would not be at least cautious about not following in his footsteps

    I feel fairly confident that the loss to the Clippers had nothing at all to do with Harden's visit to the strip club.

    This is absolutely true. Not to mention Jordan spending paychecks the casinos.

    So where's the vid/vine/ig of him being out the night before last?

    You'd have to be naive to believe he wasn't out late after the Lakers game. His showing last night was abysmal. 95% of his season has been replay of game 6 against Clips and game 5 against GSW. Complete liability on the floor, especially in clutch situations. Pretty obvious he gives ZERO F***S.

    Also, there wasn't ONE teammate seen with him at the strip club; not surprised one bit.

    Harden has mentally and emotionally checked out. His teammates know it, and so do most fans (I'm one of his biggest supporters).

    Empty stats, no heart, no winners mentality, 'super stars' are the cancer of every organization.

    Sadly, I only see him becoming a legit MVP force again with the LAKERS.

    I really hope I'm wrong. :(:(

    I'd rather him go to the strip clubs than be with Khloe. He needs to be single again.

    We certainly remember T-Mac differently. T-Mac wasn't seen out clubbing all the time after games, win or lose. He worked hard with the same trainer MJ and Kobe used. Ask Tim Grover how hard he worked. Ask JVG how hard he worked. He was no where near as lazy as Harden. Just because of the Toronto game, now people want to believe his whole time as a Rocket was like that and that is plain bull****.

    Yall let Francis have a pass for the **** he pulled and yall **** on T-Mac for one game in which he gave the same effort on D that Harden has now given for years and celebrates it at the strip club.

    It's just annoying.

    If a company you have a stake in sends it's best employee out on a business trip and he does a ****ty job, wouldn't you be annoyed if he was hitting up strip clubs to celebrate doing a ****ty job??

    I agree completely. It's only more visible now because of TMZ and social media.

    Say it was a movie theater and he was watching Star Wars and not at a strip club. Would anyone care?

    Rep'd.

    Of course they would have gotten in around 6-7 am, which means they'd have to sleep all day. And then they'd be partying all night tonight and be all hung over and strung out for the game tomorrow night.

    So, I understand the thinking, staying over and then flying in today.

    I think what I'd do as coach is hold a practice for about 3 hours as soon as they got back to Houston today. And it'd be 3 hours of defensive digging. I don't think I'd work on one single thing on the offensive end. I'd drill them down for about 3 hours on defense, make them run. Get McDaniels out there running from sideline to sideline like Redick. Make the first teamers defend and deny McDaniels running all over the place, whistle them down, make them keep doing it for about 3 hours until they're shot and they want to get a shower and go home to bed.

    Going to strip clubs is his hobby. Too bad he's not into bowling or miniature golf.

    Competition. We all know he was a freak in terms of his competitive fire. Watch the TEAM USA doc. They said MJ never slept. He was constantly either golfing or gambling, anything that involved competition. Yet he stepped on court in practice and gave 110%. Harden gives not even half of that on defense IN GAME.

    I do get that this is the way social media works these days and even Hakeem would be **** on by fans for caring too much for his religion b/c fasting would not be what is best for the team. But, this is so much more different than either MJ or DR34Ms obsessions. This is getting drunk and blowing money on half naked girls after every important game, win or lose.

    Bring up the threads from last year, we didn't give him a bye then, we didn't like it then bc they were the first signs of something troubling. Now it should be obvious but he still has people defending him here. That's the unbelievable part.

    Vernon used to tell other people on staff they could use his hotel room if they wanted, because he wouldn't be using it.

    Sad. Sad. Sad. Wasted time.

    Would be fitting for the screenplay writers in Hollywood.

    Everything comes full circle in LA.... but I think he isn't as hard working as Kobe....
    I think he would fall short against the Celtics, the Cavs......
