The Clippers haven’t won a single game since trading for James Harden. Not only that, but the team hasn’t won at all when he’s played.
After losing to the Nuggets on Tuesday night, the Clippers are officially 0-5 whenever Harden is in the lineup. His production has been up and down, too, with him only averaging 15 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists through those games.
This isn’t the James Harden we’re used to. It’s not even close. Not only is he not playing like an All-Star, but he’s not even playing at the level he was at last season with the 76ers.
Why is that? Because he’s not in “James Harden shape” quite yet. That’s the story he’s telling us, anyway. He keeps bringing up the fact that he didn’t have a training camp.

“I keep reiterating that I didn’t have a training camp or a preseason so I’m kind of learning on the fly for a new team. Also getting myself into James Harden shape and game shape is very important.”
Geez, man. I wonder why he’s not in “James Harden shape” just yet. Oh, wait! I know. Because he didn’t participate in training camp or preseason with the 76ers.
Yeah, that’ll definitely leave you out of shape for sure. NBA fans roasted him for this one. It’s hard to blame him. This is kind of his own fault.

Why is he not in shape? Did not work out while he refused to play with the Sixers? No offseason work?
