    He’s not a real fan and he hates Texans like people who live in the state
    Look at his posts

    Also the nba is a long season and the critical shots so early screams troll

    I’ve called for his deletion from the site

    LOL @ usual Harden doubters in this thread.

    This team would have been trash and lottery bound every year if not for Harden.

    You ungrateful goons should appreciate what you have with Harden because once his career winds down, the only thing you will look forward to each year is Tilman's bank account, which you will never touch.

    Harden isnt the problem. Never has been.

    The problem is what he is being surrounded with.

    Never seen sum1 chuck so many 3s, he got lucky they fell today. As a #1 harden fan with fear the beard shirt on I want to see him score and preserve his % not just take bad shots. Also ballhug a little less

    So he’s lucky when they go in but he sucks when they don’t. I mean the dude takes the most contested shots because there no one else to worry about on our team. If he’s at 37-38% by mid season we’re good.

    Figured you were trolling on that MVP thread. Couldn’t agree more he is a transcendent offensive player and looks to be even more scary than last year !

    Step-back 3 is one of his go to shots. Overall he makes them at a high clip. He also mixes it up with his inside game.

    I would rather have him taking a bunch of 3s than most of the other Rockets who are less likely to make them.

    oh yea fersure, I don't want the other rockets to take those shots. But i want harden to take open 3s more than contested 3s. A lot of that is on this idiot ****ing coach though for not setting plays

    a volume 3 point shooter making 37% at his career ain't about luck. its about skill, diligence, and hardwork

    Harden working his way into shape and it’s crazy how much better he looks when his shot is falling. His defense tonight for most part was solid and most importantly, the effort was there.

    That block early on came out of nowhere and when he’s engaged like that, the team just looks better all around. If Harden can manage to play like that regardless of hitting shots, the league better watch out!

    I know plenty of people will continue to take it personally or say I was wrong, but I stand by what I saw earlier that Harden was playing awful defense, showing bad body language regardless of the reasons.

    We should be critical of our best player, because he’s our sole hope of winning a championship and just unstoppable if he wants to be. Let’s hope the effort is always there from now on.

    Offensively it’s insane he’s averaging 38 while not shooting all that well. With this defense he showed tonight while torching a guy like Kawhi and the Clippers, he should be MVP.
