    I'd argue he's done more for the Houston Rockets than most.If this isn't your first season following the team of course.

    Here is a unique thought for J Sizzle.

    Not enjoying Harden's style of play and being a dedicated Rocket fan are not mutually exclusive thoughts.

    Yes, this is my first season following the Rockets. See, what happened was I created a time machine in 2014, went back to 2010, and created a Clutchfans account.

    Sigh... Do people understand that when I criticize Harden's style of play, it's a RELATIVE metric. I criticize his style of play RELATIVE to other superstar guards.

    Have I ever suggested that he isn't our best player and best player of the franchise since Hakeem.

    I just wish his game was more pleasing to watch. It would help to be less reliant on refs once in a while and tuck the ball in close to his body, elevate and finish strong. I grew up watching that style of finishing with other superstar guards and it's what I deem as exiting. I'm sorry.

    I wouldn't go as far as 'insult'. I would say 'satire'. Well done or poorly executed is your own subjective preference.

    Silly thread, but statements like this are even sillier.

    i like the one where he doesnt have to drop a near 40pt triple double for the rockets to win the game. thats an excellent move, top notch.

    In all seriousness with no jest, I like the games where he shoots above 50% from the field. Rarity, but those are fun games.

    Not true, you said you were taking more of a "what have you done for me last night approach" I responded by saying he has made a lot of positive contributions.

    OK, you hate his style of play, that's fine, your boring crappy clutchfans posts stating you hate his style are bot going to change anything, and are a desperate cry for attention.

    You can always go watch some Steph Curry videos from bleacher report if that pleases you.

    let's just agree to disagree, just stop cussing out our star at every opportunity, or find a new ho9bby if rockets basketball isn't for you

    Most NBA fans genuinely think we have the worst fanbase in the League. I didn't really see it until this season.

    How many teams in the NBA could Harden go to and not immediately be the best player on their team?

    Off the top of my head, I can say Warriors, Cavs, Pelicans, Thunder, and.....

    Can you really be objective, put yourself in the minds of the fans for the teams that are left, and not seriously admit to yourself that Harden would come into everyone of those other teams I did not mention and be the best player?

    He's a flawed player no doubt. What angers me the most about Harden is he has the skills to be the best player on any team other than the Cavs. If Harden would put in the effort on the defensive end of the court, there really is no one playing the game right now that would be better than him except for Lebron. Sadly, I'm afraid Harden will never have the drive of Lebron or even Curry. He is what he is but with that being the case, maybe us Rockets fans should try to enjoy him for who he is instead of who we think, or even know, he COULD be.

    Only an idiot would claim Harden's go to move is flopping. He brought out the entire offensive arsenal in this game. He completely destroyed an all time great team purely off 1v1 moves. One shot away from having one of if not the greatest individual performances of all time.
