    All you hear about is James Harden. lulz
    Why do you exaggerate so much, or do you really believe Westbrook talk isn't dominating the media for the past month.

    Man it is terribly evident that there are a large amount of posters who deep down really hate Harden.

    Begrudgingly accept how great he is and how he helps us win, but the second y'all find a "legitimate" spot to criticize and y'all go in hard.

    Nah... It's just we don't have a unhealthy psychological trigger mechanism towards criticism of our favorite players/teams.

    Unhealthy psychological triggers?

    Dude you are upset before the games even start simply because Harden is on our basketball team.

    Sad.

    I've been very happy this season. Thank you.

    I just find it a legitimate concern that there is a rather easy way to compete **** down Harden due to his inability to run without the ball in his hands.

    Every opposing team in the team's path has one or two guys that can shadow Harden off the ball through out the game.

    I just don't want to see the team waste so many possessions eating 10-15 seconds off the shot clock trying to feed a sluggish off ball Harden who can't run around to find a decent angle for his team to pass it to him without fear of the ball being stolen.

    There are role players on the Rockets whose actions have far benefited the team than what your No. 1 star did.

    Just roll with it.

    Well people hated TMac, Francis and Barkley too.

    They bring some of it on themselves.

    There are legitimate concerns for this team. We're not going to be world champions unless things improve, and it doesn't look like they will since these same problems have existed for the past 4 seasons.

    Yeah. He absolutely does not deserve anything of this from any personality perspective. He's as likable as they come, imo

    But I guess ppl hate his lifestyle and some find the worst in any quote. Which has to be nothing to hate this year for sure

    As for style of play, if Ginobody was the only star on a team, he would be playing EXACTLY the same way, and he flops. But he would be loved here. And Harden with stars even played the exact same game and exact same role as Ginobody did off the bench.
