    #**I asked the producer to pipe this into the Clippers’ locker room so I can talk to you, James. I hope you’re taking notes. I’m telling you in advance, you’re welcome for the wisdom I’m about to spew. Because, listen, I get on my knees every night and pray for someone to believe in me like Daryl Morey believed in you. You wanted a certain coach, they brought in Mike D’Antoni. You wanted to play a certain style, they played it. You wanted Dwight Howard, they brought him in and got rid of him when you were tired of him. You wanted Chris Paul, they brought him in and got rid of him when you were tired of him. They brought in your old friend Russell Westbrook. You wanted to go to Vegas on off days, they looked away. You wanted the team to stay over so you could go out at night, they changed the schedule. And it didn’t work, and you know what, you said I’m gonna break up with my woobie, not good enough. I see the bright lights in New York, I want to go there [with] my old pal Kevin Durant. It’s gonna work, the big three. And all after one year, you wanted out. You realized, oh my gosh, I took this guy for granted, the guy that believed in me. I want to go back with Daryl Morey. They traded Ben Simmons for you, how did they pull that off? And you know what, you went there and got a partner who got the MVP. He won the MVP and what did you say afterwards? You said, ‘They didn’t hand me the reins.’ You’re the point guard, you were holding the reins. And what did you do when you had the reins? You scored 9 points in Game 7 against Boston, you blew a 3-2 series lead. So they fired their coach, not good enough. You broke up with your guy who believed in you again. You said, ‘The bright lights of LA, that’s where I want to go.’ Let’s see how that works. Listen, James, have you ever had those friends who had bad roommates, over and over they complained about their bad roommates. … They never thought to be self aware enough that they’re the bad roommate. They’re the problem. Hey, James, you’re the problem. If this doesn’t work this year in this system with this team, then you’re going to go and point fingers at everybody else and you’re going to go back home and start swiping right for another team, and there’s not going to be anybody left. Because, James, you’re not the beard, you’re not the system, you’re the problem.**

    Harden has to have far and away the most four point plays in history

    I feel bad for Trae here. He almost played perfect defense and then just made a bad decision at the last second.

    Clippers team looks so comfortable with one another. Looks like they’re having so much fun playing with each other.

    James, espero que estés tomando notas. Te lo adelanto, de nada, por la sabiduría que estoy a punto de arrojar. Porque escucha, me arrodillo todas las noches y rezo para que alguien crea en mí como Daryl Morey creyó en ti. Querías un entrenador determinado y trajiste a Mike D’Antoni. Querías tocar un estilo determinado, ellos lo tocaron. Querías a Dwight Howard, lo trajeron y se deshicieron de él cuando te cansaste de él. Querías a Chris Paul, lo trajeron y se deshicieron de él cuando te cansaste de él. Trajeron a tu viejo amigo Russell Westbrook. —¿Quieres ir a Las Vegas en los días libres? Ellos miraron hacia otro lado. Querías que el equipo se quedara a dormir para poder salir por la noche, cambiaron el horario y no funcionó. ‘Y sabes qué, dijiste… Veo las luces brillantes de Nueva York. Quiero ir allí. Mi viejo amigo Kevin Durant. Los tres grandes funcionarán, y todos después de un año quisiste salir. ‘Te diste cuenta, “¡Dios mío! Di por sentado a este tipo, el tipo que creía en mí. Quiero volver con Daryl Morey”. Cambiaron a Ben Simmons por ti. ¿Cómo lo lograron? ‘¿Y sabes qué? Fuiste allí y conseguiste un socio que obtuvo el MVP. Ganó el MVP, ¿y qué dijiste después? Dijiste: “no me entregaron las riendas”. ¡Tú eres el base! ¡Estabas sosteniendo las riendas! ¿Y qué hiciste cuando tuviste las riendas? Anotaste 9 puntos en el séptimo partido contra Boston y desperdiciaste una ventaja de 3-2 en la serie. Entonces despidieron a su entrenador, pero no fue lo suficientemente bueno. Rompiste con el chico que volvió a creer en ti y dijiste “¡las luces brillantes de Los Ángeles! ¡Ahí es donde quiero ir! Veamos si eso funciona”. ‘Escucha James, ¿alguna vez has tenido esos amigos que tenían malos compañeros de cuarto? Una y otra vez se quejaron de sus malos compañeros de cuarto: “este tipo es terrible”, “el mal compañero de cuarto aquí”, ¡nunca pensaron que eran lo suficientemente conscientes de que ELLOS SON el mal compañero de cuarto! ¡Ellos son el problema! ‘¡Hola James, TÚ ERES el PROBLEMA! Si esto no funciona este año, en este sistema, con este equipo, entonces irás y señalarás con el dedo a todos los demás y luego volverás a casa y empezarás a buscar otro equipo. y no quedará nadie. “Porque James, tú no eres la barba, no eres el sistema, tú eres el problema”.

    Producenta sem prosil, naj to prenese v slačilnico Clippersov, da se lahko pogovorim s tabo, James. Upam, da si zapisujete. Že vnaprej vam povem, da ste dobrodošli za modrost, ki jo bom izdal. Ker poslušaj, vsak večer pokleknem in molim za nekoga, ki bi verjel vame, kot je Daryl Morey verjel vame. Želeli ste določenega trenerja, pripeljali so Mikea D’Antonija. Želeli ste igrati določen stil, igrali so ga. Želeli ste Dwighta Howarda, pripeljali so ga in se ga znebili, ko ste se ga naveličali. Želeli ste Chrisa Paula, pripeljali so ga in se ga znebili, ko ste se ga naveličali. Pripeljali so vašega starega prijatelja Russella Westbrooka. Želel si iti v Vegas ob prostih dneh, pogledali so stran. Želeli ste, da ekipa ostane, da bi lahko šli ven ponoči, spremenili so urnik. In ni delovalo, in veš kaj, rekel si, da bom prekinil s svojim woobiejem, ni dovolj dobro. Vidim svetle luči v New Yorku, želim iti tja [s] svojim starim prijateljem Kevinom Durantom. Šlo bo, veliki trije. In po enem letu si hotel ven. Spoznal si, o moj bog, tega fanta sem jemal za samoumevnega, fanta, ki je verjel vame. Želim se vrniti z Daryl Morey. Za vas so zamenjali Bena Simmonsa, kako jim je to uspelo? In veste kaj, šli ste tja in dobili partnerja, ki je dobil MVP. Dobil je MVP in kaj ste rekli potem? Rekel si: ‘Niso mi dali vajeti.’ Ti si igralec, ti si držal vajeti. In kaj ste počeli, ko ste imeli vajeti? Na sedmi tekmi proti Bostonu ste dosegli 9 točk in izpraznili vodstvo s 3-2 v seriji. Zato so odpustili svojega trenerja, ki ni bil dovolj dober. Razšla si s svojim fantom, ki je spet verjel vate. Rekli ste: ‘Svetle luči LA-ja, tja želim iti.’ Poglejmo, kako to deluje. Poslušaj, James, ali si kdaj imel tiste prijatelje, ki so imeli slabe cimre, vedno znova so se pritoževali nad svojimi slabimi cimri. … Nikoli si niso mislili, da se dovolj zavedajo, da so slabi sostanovalci. Oni so problem. Hej, James, ti si problem. Če to letos ne bo delovalo v tem sistemu s to ekipo, potem boste šli in kazali s prstom na vse druge in se boste vrnili domov in začeli brskati desno za drugo ekipo, in ne bo bo kdo ostal. Ker, James, ti nisi brada, ti nisi sistem, ti si problem.”

    I’m pretty sure the only way I could get a statistic in the NBA is me hucking a ball towards the basket while trying to draw a foul from far away.

    Harden has made that like his signature professional move lol.

  18. tw3rkmileytw3rk

    We need a chart of Harden games played in Miami and Atlanta, its a stale joke but atp but there’s gotta be some gold hidden beyond the box scores. A pre and post lil baby section as well.

  19. TheRealTofuey

    Im honestly really excited to see this team in the playoffs. I really wouldn’t hate to see this team win a ring considering how much alot of these players have gone through.

  20. MV7EaglesFan

    i was one of the few sixers fans saying we should just give him the max. Sadly I was right. He would have helped us load manage Embiid, too. Instead of Nurse overplaying him as usual.

  21. CJ4ROCKET

    Remember the video of him awkwardly entering LAC locker room and everyone said the other clippers didn’t really want him?

  22. Remember when you morons hopped on that no-name Mavericks reporter’s dick for the stupidest monologue in history?

    Us harden fans remember

  23. This is so much fun to see Harden and Westbrook on a winning team together.

    While KD is over here on his third straight “super team” as miserable as ever.

  24. Visible-Rutabaga9268

    This Clippers team is so fun to watch that Kawhi is literally jumping for joy wowww

  25. ChokePaul3

    But I thought Trae Young improved on defense??
