Beard in Clippers’ crosshairs

HOUSTON — Whether he’s stirring the pot after a big shot or flailing his arms to draw contact en route to the basket, James Harden evokes strong reactions from fans and players alike.

The Internet abounds with people complaining that his game isn’t aesthetically pleasing, but he’s even tougher to stop than his game is to like.

The Warriors did shut him down on the final play to take a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals and there’s been a lot of ongoing chatter about his decision to pass the ball to teammate Dwight Howard at the 3-point line in the final seconds.
