Some Warriors aren’t buying that Harden’s eye is “extremely hurt”

    They just don’t like his game. Everyone has to hate on something. They can’t say he’s talented and a smart ball player, it’s that he “cheats” or “bends the rules”. I wish he would quit with the overreactions sometimes. Lots of players flop, but he’s already got the haters on his case, so that just fuels them. People just don’t like his style, and that immediately leads to hate. Most of the media and fans of the nba probably love that we are down 2-0. Sucks, but that’s why then rockets need to get it together and prove these fools wrong

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone take so much punishment and have people question the contact.

    People were saying Harden flopped after Artest literally sent shock waves through his cranium in 2012.

    Many people think he tries to garner sympathy instead of going the "**** it, I'm going to **** on you!" route. They don't believe he's a bad person. They just think he's soft.

    Warriors and their fans are threatened by him. They know the only thing standing in their way is Harden and the Rockets.

    “Curry and Klay have sore ankles just remember.” Repeated 100x before games 1 and 2. They look perfectly fine.

    “OMG CURRY DISLOCATED HIS FINGER.” On his non shooting hand... and he comes out and still pops 3s so obviously not really bothering him.

    All warriors injuries are so hyped they seem like pre-fabricated excuses.

    Meanwhile, Harden has literal blood on his towel and sits out a whole freaking quarter (which we all know Harden would never allow so it must have been serious). He comes back with a bloodshot eye. Warriors saying “nah it ain’t serious”

    Maybe they can shove Curry's dislocated finger up their a$$?

    Man so much bulletin board material for Harden these past few days. If he don't show up tomorrow it will be telling

    Just win the game. Pure fans know frustration doesn't always help.

    Ainge throwing the ball at Ellie didn't help.

    The Warriors.

    Thats why they are mad that a blind man can score 29 points on them in 2.5 periods.

    For the greatest team of all time they are incredibly petty and sensitive


    Whether its Pat Beverley last week or Harden's gouged out bloody corneas- there is nothing too small for them to have to snipe at.

    Part of it is just our dumb social media/narrative culture in which they cant just be content to rig the playing field and win a title, they have to diminish others along the way. Because that's what people talk about - viral moments like Harden's bleeding corneas.

    They are pathetically insecure

    Fans should let Warriors have it. Rockets should let their game do the talking for them. Just focus on the game, and let's get some damn wins.

    I'll just say that the Warrior players that think he is faking it have never hurt their eyes before. I have got varying degrees of fingers to the eye, and let me tell you that it can be debilitating for days. We just need to win and shut them up.

    Were you gonna say you hope Harden gets 28 nose bleed dunks on these guys over the next 4 games and we win the series 4-2?

    And some Rockets aren't buying that Draymond "accidentally" did it.
