Id love to beat Harden in the finals 😂
Little game James LARDEN is only loyal to the dirty clubs n any Krispy Kreme with an open sign.
Harden has unlimited haters
I like Harden, but his introductions are always like this, things always start off great, he’s a tremendous regular season player.
It’s the playoffs is where things get dicey 🎲
I 💯 know Harden was the 6th man on OKC, but I always forget he has been to the Finals. I just always think of Harden on Rockets losing in WCF
Do people not know how good harden was playing on the clippers this year? He knew about the potential trade over a month ago, his play stayed the same
Why are people acting like he was sucking ass on LAC and only played well when he got to Cleveland? He hasn't even been as good in Cleveland as he was on the Clippers yet
Do people even watch basketball on these things
OK, these guys make zero sense and they’re contradicting themselves and they might just have cognitive dissonance how are they gonna say James Harden to shut up after he made those comments about Del Mori when in fact, Delmore showed him no loyalty so he’s showing no loyalty these guys make no sense
Y'all crazy for taken James Hardens words and flipping them against fans that's just crazy work smh
Talk about moving the goal post smmfh
Man this Matt Moron guy is pretty sharp.
does Danny C. still want Cavs to trade Jarrett Allen?
Bunch of clowns ain’t actually followed Hardens career. It is SO EASY to spot a casual hahaha
