    Alright kids, it doesn’t matter if we win or lose, what matters is having fun.

    Tmac had the same problem, a player who was more about show and less about rings - a Beta - not an alpha - same thing Harden has......

    Great scorer, but as a leader - just putrid.

    I'd prob fall in the 'winning' camp - but not at any cost... for example, I'm not down with the cheating and flopping to win mentality - as some on here support... nor, parish the thought, trying to injure other teams players (like some other teams have done)...

    Really, I'm about playing good smart focused basketball - and letting the chips fall where they may... If we do the right things and the ball just doesnt go in the hoop - thats how the ball bounces sometimes.. I can still be proud of the effort - even in defeat. But play stupid and go out like a buncha punks and i will lose my chit!

    on a sidenote, I enjoyed the Sura/Scola/Lowry era... most b****ed about the 'treadmill of mediocrity...' but we had a scrappy bunch of guys who worked hard every night... Obviously we were outclassed, but our guys typical representation did me proud... discounting for KMart laughing on the sideline that time...

    Ah yes, such a putrid leader that he has bought the most success to the Rockets since Hakeem.

    Harden's greatest weakness is having to face 4 all-stars in Golden State, whilst he himself practically never played with one.

    Do you know how many all-stars Harden worked with since he came to Houston? One. Dwight Howard in his first year with the Rockets.

    Look at the past 4-5 years, other than Golden State, which other teams have consistently won 50+ games?

    Actually, let's look at his peers and what they got to work with as opposed to Harden - per post via reddit

    Yes, you call our franchise player, who probably has the fewest all-star help among any top tier team in the last 5 years, a "beta". A beta who works with nothing but good role players to bring far more wins than other "alpha" stars that work with all-stars.

    You also liken him to T-Mac, who has bought the Rockets 0 success in his entire season with the Rockets.

    Absolutely mindboggling idiotic what some "fans" say.

    You know what's going to be fun? Having an elite scorer on the floor at all times.

    No more begging MDA to put Harden back on the floor because nobody can score.

    That sounds like a lot of fun to me. It sounds like wins, too.
