    That's bullshit. There are PLENTY of flops committed with the slightest bit of contact. Go watch YouTube, and just stop it already.

    Classic Harden. Quitting when faced with anything he doesn't like.

    What is wrong with this guy?

    Why all these casuals joined this forum just to hate on this dude? Thats a better question.

    Theres a whole tweet with him addressing the fouls in detail. If you not a rockets fan, don't pretend to be. That goes for a lot of you haters in here. This is not a opportunity to just bash James. A real Rockets fan would have notice we just got ****ed again by Tony Brothers and NBA/refs has it out for James. But some of us here posting didn't even watch the game or the last 15 secs of the it. James is not excused for his play but the bottomline is we still should have won the game.

    YES, more criticism of Harden. You DON'T like James Harden.
    You've clearly established that. But you didn't answer my question

    So who do YOU think would be better and could take us to the promised land?

    And so what? Oooh, wow, "something is going to transpire with Harden tonight"

    That has nothing to do with my comment- it has everything to do with "Paul faking an injury"

    Just stop embarrassing yourself.

    When I first joined CF, I had a personal policy never to put anyone on Ignore b/c I felt you should be able to listen to what anyone says, regardless.

    But that goes out the window tonight. You Rockets and Harden haters (not the criticizers, the haters) can go **** off. Because when we do turn it around, and if we do win it all, I don't want to hear **** from any of you about how great Harden is. Just find another team, please.

    He deflected responsibility. It's obviously not his fault, things almost never are.

    Harden fixing all these small flaws that consistently hamper him would be much easier than a trade or any other scenario. If Harden committed to becoming an aware defender, that isn't ball-watching every possession, and got smarter on that end(film anyone), along with ridding all his bad habits on offense, he would be fine.

    That is better than trading him for Jokic and Harris or something 99% unrealistic.

    You people recognize it's not viable to get rid of Harden but, but it's MORE than possible to see improvement from this guy. Not enhancing strengths kind of improvement we've seen, but ridding some flaws. I think he lacks the maturity to do it. He just doesn't care about winning enough. He's the antithesis of Chris Paul to his core, which makes me wonder why he came here over San Antonio or Denver.

    And assuming Chris Paul can teach a guy to seek excellence on both ends is crazy talk, before anyone says that. That isn't something a player is taught. Either you want to perfect your game on both ends to help your team every night or you don't.

    Even though the Rockets played like crap in the second half, I agree with Harden that you can’t have only two refs on a nationally televised game. That’s inexcusable with a big league like the NBA with only a few games played on a Thursday night. That should never happen. Another capable ref and this game would have been a lot different.
