    It's called he can bet the $118 million on the Spurs in the underground gambling scene and nobody would ever know?

    Did you see Harden put his arms on Pop shoulders? He looked gay.

    Harden threw the game intentionally.
    He looked stoned out there and made his teammates screw up, this was disgusting. Harden's name should be mud forever.

    The joke is on the fans.

    D'Antoni had absolutely nothing to do with this. I would keep him and Beverley and Capela and dump the rest, Harden is a cancer.

    If he pulled this shit in the 70s or 80s he would have gotten his teeth knocked in. First rate azzhole.

    Doubt he intentionally threw this game but could be him sensing they had no chance to win game 7 anyways so why not just tank here.

    Harden had turnovers in the first half that were flat out terrible, his first made shot game half way through the 2nd. Absolutely pathetic against backup players...

    Harden didn't even care if he wins. In football if some jackoff does this crap then the team will take care of it.

    No big deal. Sets him up with a nice cushy announcer job like the rest of the crooks get in all sports. The money these guys make for the league is huge and the biggest amount comes from clowns who are to stupid to realize this shit is selectively rigged. Why u think shit teams in baseball get good runs early in the season. they need to fill those stadiums for the dopes that go to those games. The money they make for the books that gets filtered to the leagues is huge. Why do u think the leagues are fighting so hard to only let Vegas take bets in the USA. Until a state like NJ gives these leagues their huge cut on their corrupt product states like NJ will never see gambling on sports. Poor Pete Rose will never see the hall of fame. He is being made an example of because Pete was fixing games on his own. That's a huge no no going behind a league that doesn't want anyone fixing a game unless it is them.

    Seriously, I completely agree! No logical explanation for a so-called "MVP candidate" to play like he's never been on a court before. Would never happen to Curry or Lebron to this extent. Lose a home elimination playoff game by almost 40 - some "leader"! He did the exact same thing a few years ago in the final game of their season. I'm not a "fix is in" guy, but for whatever reason, Harden did everything he could to make sure the Rockets lost the game. Just disgraceful...

    Never witnessed an athlete lay down like this. Had to be on the take. No respect for NBA without an investigation.

    Not the first time for him. Final game of Conference Final in 2015 - Check it out, he was horrendous! 2 for 11 from field with 12 turnovers. Warriors won by 14, spread was 12. Harden wouldn't give up the ball late and had some of the most ridiculous shot attempts and turnovers you will ever see. He not only singlehandedly made sure the Rockets lost, he also made sure the Warriors covered. Don't believe me, watch the last few minutes of that one - I remember it well.

    It was that Manu Ginobili block to end gm5, got into his head. Blocked him so hard, he stayed blocked.

    LeBron James did in 2010 after he found out Delonte West was banging his mom.

    Holy fukking shit.....if anyone out there actually believes that Harden threw this game, you are a complete and utter retard.

    IF he was going to throw a game, he could have easily done it with a missed shot here and there, a couple of turnovers at the wrong time, a bad foul, a lost ball out of bounds, taking a technical foul, and on and on.

    Nobody, no matter how stupid they are, would go out and lose by 39 and have the worst game of their career. Harden is just not good with pressure. Harden is not a mentally strong player and Pops took D'Antoni to school. His adjustments were bang on.

    Fixed, my ass. Clowns.

    they just had no interest in playing and losing to GS. maybe he wants to get traded. maybe his beard itched. you think these players really care about winning the championship over their contracts. the contracts are all that matters. getting another good one far more important than winning some dumbass championship.

    Maybe he didn't throw it for gambling purposes, but he clearly had decided that he was not going to give any effort and did not care to win. Still wouldn't be surprised if he told a close friend to pound the spurs...

    Guy was emotionally and physically exhausted. Hou shortened their rotation and played those guys into the ground. Pop deserves credit for not panicking after gm 1 and making the same mistake. Would of been easy to do after losing Parker and Leonard. The rockets were out coached.
