    Peoples problem with you is you are a parasite that shows up to rag on James when he has a below average game but disappears 90 percent of the time when he is beasting. A gutless parasite Lin troll. You are like a crap stain to this board. A true definition of a TROLL!

    Man, it must be so frustrating to play with James Harden. Just look at EG out there. Yea he is good. But his style of play and ball hogging, when he can create better shots is so nerve wracking. I hope he fixes that to get to even another level Yea I said it. #Rednation

    I love Harden but he needs to trust his guys a little more.

    And whats up with Pringles and his horrible mins management, dude honestly might be a bigger dumbass than BOB..and that sh*t is unheard of.

    No. I don't care about the Bucks. At this point, you relentless Harden nut riders just go on rampant sprees of attacking the character of posters you disagree with instead of their content. It's sad.

    you seem to always blame harden that the rockets hadn't won a chip with him

    who would have?

    You dont care about the Rockets either.

    Only thing you care about is ******** on James Harden, at least admit it.

    No not really dude. It's a close victory in the regular season against one of the worst defenses in NBA history. This Rocket's team legacy is going to be made in the playoffs. We've had enough regular season dominance for the past half decade wherr our standards should be higher.

    I'll get exited for some key marquee match games in the regular seasons such as against the Clippers or Lakers but it's hard to get exited about these games.

    "I would rather have Kyle Lowry plus two solid above average starters plus a competent coaching staff over James Harden. Lowry and Harden's talent gap is far less than this GARM bubble allows you to perceive." - @fchowd0311

    MJ would rarely, maybe even never have these games due to the triangle and him and coach Phil recognising, trusting a concerted effort. Harden is a veteran, 30 years old, we’re not talking young MJ here but 1993 three-peat if you wanna compare.

    So while I disagree about harping on Harden after a win and how he’s played all year, these type of shooting nights are the nights where he needs to trust a bit more and a solid coach who can instil that. MDA is not that guy, since he just rides Harden to the finish line.

    I think it's a reason why the Rockets have to settle for over the hill stars like CP3 and Westbrook. Guys like Kawhi or Paul George could have chosen the Rockets but I just don't think they want to play along side Harden.

    We definitely had a shot with PG during the CP3 off-season but he chose OKC for some reason.

    I missed the game tonight bc I’m in Mexico. Does anyone know why Hartenstien only played 4 minutes? He was plus three and Len played 23 minutes off of the bench for the Hawks. Seems like it would’ve been a pretty good match up for Hartenstien.
