    That's just how many points they scored in a game. How many of those points came off of Harden D?

    What you have to understand is that every single point scored against the Rockets is because of Harden's bad defense and turnovers.

    Or Most Turnovers in franchise history?

    ok then.

    how many games does he TRY to get 40 points and ends up chucking away the game?

    if your game plan for winning is expecting your star player to score 40+ points in order to win, we've got problems.

    Just admit that in your eyes harden can't do right no matter what.

    Damn if you do damn if you don't.

    Gotta love some of the posters mindset around here.

    Harden is one of the most unselfish stars in the league. He rarely chucks. Not a chucker.

    Apples v oranges. Hakeem was two-way, all day, every day plus Sundays, double-team, triple-team, quadruple-team tested and MVP evisceration certified.

    Harden is special offensively, no arguments, needs to keep working on the mental aspects of what it takes to be a champion and apply at both ends of the court.

    LOL @ Franchise for not having at least 4 despite playing 5 seasons.

    Moses repped well with 22 in 4 years.

    yeah well its kind of hard to like a guy who gets the TO title and is spotted at the strip club during the playoffs....

    not to mention shows dismal effort on the defensive end and ISO's during the last minute of any given game for the past 4 years.

    yeah... he's not on the top of my list, i dont really respect the guy.

    I bet you'll be the first one complaining the day Harden leaves in free agency and we turn into the 76ers...because that's what we are without Harden right now.

    not really. yall are trying to paint me as a harden hater, which im not nor have ever been.

    yes we're better with him then without him no doubt. but its kind of like saying, "yeah, he plays bad sometimes but he's the best we've got, dont piss him off or he'll leave."

    yes he's a star talent but that doesnt mean he has the character of a champion.

    plenty of talented player's throughout NBA history, but how many of them lead their teams to glory?

    im a critical rockets fan just as many other posters here are... we're rockets fans what do you expect? we have high standards, going from WCF to possibly not being in the playoffs is a major problem.

    He's definitely the best scorer in rockets history.
