The LA Clippers welcomed James Harden when he and PJ Tucker arrived in the locker room. Harden and Westbrook were reunited once again in the Clippers. While the video of James greeting his former teammate after their win has made rounds on the internet, many fans have cast doubts.

The video also showed Clippers guard Terrence Mann give Harden a quick dap and a semi-hug and walk off. This has fans wondering if Harden’s arrival has already caused “beef”.

Teammates from the Houston Rockets, Harden, and Westbrook are back together again. Whether this was also an encouraging reason for the Beard to want to move to the Clippers is still up for debate. But we have to agree that Harden’s time with the Rockets was one of his best. We saw his progress from an uncontrolled to a controlled player. Only as a player.

His off-court lifestyle still leaves a lot to be desired. Anyway, the video of Harden waiting for Russell Westbrook is an adorable and warm sight. But Terence Mann’s approach has fans questioning what is happening behind the scenes. Terance Mann has played with the Clippers since he got drafted in 2019. The team looked to Mann when Kawhi suffered an injury during the Western Conference Semifinals. And he didn’t disappoint. Game 6 saw Terance with a career-high 39 points and leading the Clippers to their first Conference Finals in 2021. 

Now with Leonard and George fit as a fiddle, Westbrook on top of the triple-double list, and one of the best scorers of the league, Harden, thrown into the mix, we can understand why Clippers fans would think Mann might not be happy. 

So why don’t we take a look at the observations of eager Clippers fans?

A particularly protective fan seems to give it straight for the “supposed” tension between Mann and Harden.

 

One user just wants to see the Clippers win that coveted championship. One of the oldest basketball teams, the Clippers have never won a division title or a ring. So, this guy’s frustration is valid.

 

It seems like we have got one of the true Clippers fans here. This user has given the Beard a friendly warning.

 

Yet another can’t seem to remember Harden being this supportive of his teammates.

 

And then we have a user who is quite enthusiastic about Terance Mann’s looks.
