    Cue the Westbrook to Harden “I’m the Captain now” memes.

    Sabotage mode? That is a ridiculous take.

    Doesn't look like it. He keeps touching the top of his left leg, near his hip. I honestly think it's been bothering him for a while but he's been playing through it. It does explain a lot of why his 3pt shot isn't dropping at the moment.

    this is actually one of my favorite wins of the season even though its a sub .500 team. we came out flat at the start of the 3rd but really turned on the juice about mid way. the reserves showed up big time. shout out to austin and ego off the bench. they helped pick us up as james struggled, and of course westBEAST. great road win against rare full roster for the wolves.

    I was excited from the start. Man I love the energy he brings. It is soooooooo much more fun watching him leave defenders in the dust than slow ball dribble dribble dribble dribble iso.

    Russ is turning to a guard version of Gainnis.

    no. he took a straight KAT knee to that thigh area. that's a brand new injury from tonight. whatever "injury" hes been dealing with before that is different

    thats why many of us were telling him to sit down cause he can barely move.

    When Harden is not playing well or is hurt IMO it looks like sabotage. I'm not saying it is intentional, he just plays VERY VERY badly.

    If it wasnt for Westbrook freezing Harden out, Wolves probably come back.

    Three observations:

    TG for Westbrook! Dude has been excellent last 30 games, cutting down on his inefficient shots and just being a great player for us.

    MDA needs to sit Harden for a few games. Dude is a shell of himself. Sometimes players need time to reset.

    I swear Every time I watch the great Rock the guy disappoints. Are you guys sure you want him?!?

    Honestly, can James just forgo the All-Star game? No need to exacerbate any nagging injuries for some exhibition game

    Haters always bring out the knives as soon as they think they see a crack in the armor.

    None of them would have the balls to say that if Harden dropped his usual 40/12 on them.

    Behave. Harden's had heart, he's just had trash support.

    Comments like that are just poor. You're only on Harden's case because he's been poor shooting form for like 2 weeks now. You were nowhere to be seen when he was carrying us last month.

    I’d also add it was very clear Harden had ZERO problem deferring to Russ in the 4th quarter as it was obvious they couldn’t keep him out of the paint.
