    My favorite thing about Harden (other than his plain greatness) is that he has ZERO hot dog in him.

    Seriously, have any of you ever played with another player or players who dominates the ball, dribbles out the shot clock, and rarely passes? It is maddening. And boring. No fun. You run back on defense, then rinse and repeat. Very, very frustrating. You feel like you are a fan instead of a player. Motion, passing, and movement makes the game so much more fun. I honestly think that very few players want to come here.

    It wont be a problem if we can win a championship.

    The biggest barricade of winning championship is old injury-prone Christ Paul!!!

    The dude wants money more than everything! Smh.

    True! But Jimmys case he has to dominate and dribble the ball. Because GM can’t seem to get players that can make the right play. Have you seen Eric Gordon dribble the ball off his foot and jump to pass the. All only to get stuck in mid air and throw it away, or Clint catch the ball in the post just to miss a soft ass lay up! How about when Gerald green chaotically drives the ball in to through ups terrible mid range shot? The Gm can seem to only get these one dimensional players that make the offense stagnant. Finally he gets some that can kinda sorta create for himself, but he is a 34 year old washed player with Hanis that give out on him constantly. What other options does this team have other than for Harden to dominate the ball every position? It’s the only chance they have, unfortunately you’re right! It’s not attractive for other free agents to come here.

    Lol @solid complaining crying whining about the best thing about the rockets.

    Not tilman not the city not morey and the front ofc not mda and his coaching staff not cp3 and his contract

    Acts like a true max superstar in his prime is willing and able to replace harden and single handedly carry this team

    What I am not saying is that Harden isn't a great player, he is. What I am saying is that a motionless offense and a ball dominant player is no fun to play with. If you don't know that, you have never played the game.

    hated, for what?
    disliked is the word more appropriate.

    lol @ AD being most hated in Louisiana.

    I'm also surprised that LBJ and not Snake is the most hated player in Texas?

    (The problem with "data" like this ("Geotagged Twitter Data") is that it's a bit subjective what actually constitutes a "hate" Tweet. Presumably they used a list of specific keywords.)
