If I were a betting man, I’d be fairly well off on the inevidable implosions that follow James Harden. The first official Meltdown Watch was institued when James Harden forced his way to Brooklyn. He teamed up with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. Who promptly said they don’t need coaches. Anyone who thought that was going to work needs a permanent placement in the Simplest Minds of the Week category in the pod. Predictions of that implosion included, Christmas, Valentines day, and the playoffs. The point it, it was a lock. And so is this. James Harden destroying Clippers is the Thanos of the NBA.

“No James! Don’t do it!” SNAP. You’re franchise is fucking annihilated.

“Enjoy the blip, bitches. Where dem titties at?!” - James Harden hypothetically

Think about the freaking boo hoo bandaid crew they just put together. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George played 38 games together last year. 46%. They have played a total of 142 games together in FOUR seasons including 37 playoff games. They have spent 31% of regular season on the court at the same time. Go ahead, tell me James Harden has not already booked out a different strip club every other week for a load management day.

You can see Russell Westbrook stewing in the corner as the load management losers take a 1/3 of the season off. Russ is about to average a triple double on 30 shots a night shooting 12% from 3 while Kawhi gets his feet rubbed.

Paul George, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden is the biggest collection of under achievers in the history of the NBA. At one point Kwahi was argued to be the best player in the league, then decided to stop showing up. That doesn’t scream the kind of leadership it would take to keep these cats in the cradle if you catch my drift.

This ship will sale by Christmas.

We’re officially on Meltdown Watch

There will never be another coach like Bobby Knight

The Patriots could look to make a serious splash
