I haven’t been the most devout NBA fan yet in this young season, so I was a little surprised to see that more than a month later, Oklahoma City Thunder fans are still mad at James Harden. In case you forgot – or simply don’t care, because it’s so damn trivial – Harden turned down a contract extension from the Thunder because it was reportedly lower than the max deal that he was seeking. So the Thunder traded Harden to the Houston Rockets in a move that Harden admitted left him baffled and hurt, and he eventually signed his new max deal with the Rockets.

I mean, unless I’m completely missing something, Harden wanted what was best for him – what he has since proven he deserves – and that didn’t match what the Thunder offered, so the team traded him. He didn’t leave. He didn’t demand to be traded. He was just traded. A business decision, as the kids at the playground call it. Yet here we are, staring at a t-shirt that paints Harden into some sort of Dwight Howard villain. The shirt’s not even cool.

Oh well, I’m sure Harden is losing sleep over it.

NBA: Houston Rockets at Oklahoma City Thunder – 8 PM ET on NBA TV

Meanwhile, Oklahoma City is still 11-4 without Harden, as most of us expected would be the case. And the Rockets, while showing flashes of greatness, are treading water at 7-7, which is still better than the L.A. Lakers.

NCAA Basketball: Michigan State at Miami – 7:30 PM ET on ESPN

I’m still not ready for NCAA basketball. I’m still not even ready for the NBA. I wish we could have an NFL game on every night of the week.

Ion doesn’t have the card for tonight’s show posted, so here’s a picture of John Cena with Tim Tebow.

I think it’s pure evil.
