    Parsons is getting butt hurt way too much! If I were a Dallas fan I'd be worried that he's bit fully "gone" from Houston seeing as every comment he makes is about current rockets.

    reminds me of those posters that dislike a certain player for stupid reasons but can't help but to follow said player's threads. Is everybody on crack?

    You do not know a thing as a leader, a leader talks in privately and publicly.

    Chandler is a guy that clearly doesn't know his role. Lin knows and that's why he responded the way he did. There is nothing wrong with accepting that you aren't a star in the league. It's guys that think that they are stars and try to play like them when they aren't that often cause problems.

    Who is Ethan Strauss and why should anyone care about his opinion?

    It would be a great news if Parsons starts to hate Howard each day.

    Don't care how fun my team's good player is as long as he's good. It would be fun if that defense improves this season, though.

    Notice the difference between Parsons' response to this and his response to Dwight's statement or even Morey's opinion (and his decision) about Parsons not being that third star. Parsons may not have agreed with what Dwight and Morey said, but made sure to say that he respects Morey and is friends with Dwight and didn't think Dwight meant to pick a fight.

    Parsons still has a pretty good relationship with Dwight and Morey. I don't know that he has such a relationship with Harden, perhaps not even back when Parsons was still a Rocket. A good number of us fans and media commentators are tired of some of Harden's crap, pretty sure teammates who actually have to live through it may be even more so.

    Good thing he is gone in that case. If he had a problem with Harden he was causing and not solving locker room issues like we were led to believe. Our two stars get along fine. Any role player who has some problem can get bent.

    lol and he's such a great trash talker. I hope we can play the Mavs in the playoffs. "I'm the best small forward in this series," he says as Beverley cans a 3 in his face to eliminate the Mavs. :grin:

    Harden is gonna eat Parsons' lunch driving to the basket and Ariza will hound him around the perimeter. Howard will be there to reject him at the rim. Yeah, Chandler is gonna get exposed.

    BTW, why didn't he take his own advice before declaring himself the best SF in the Blazers/Rockets series? Batum took him to school after those comments and Lillard buried him.

    Because Parsons was exposed already against Batum?
