When the narrative is "but...but...we'd have less offense without Harden," you know you're talking to a spouse that has been domestically abused. Asking for effort and heart is the least you can ask for...and when a player can't provide that he's nothing to this team. There are too many blind homers here to realize it, but this guy is a loser.
Harden has lost himself. The money and fame, all the gorgeous women hrs dating has gone straight to his head. Now he has this arrogant egotistical, I don't give a bleep attitude. And it's showing on the court. He knows he's the driven force on this team. I don't know what it will take for him to humble himself. All I know is if he wants to win a championship, he better hurry up and get his act together.
My feeling is that haren will not be a Rocket past his contract... and that's if he isn't gone before. With that kind of disappointing effort, even Mergady looks like a hero. Oh well... at least Dmo and Capela are 2 promising players.
It really is disappointing. You wish you could have a Tim Duncan, Hakeem type of veteran or cornerstone player instead you get Francis, old Scottie, Mac, Yao, Kevin Martin, Harden (I hope he gets it soon before his 29th birthday) and declining Dwight
If Harden leaves it's because he chooses to. No way Les lets go of him. Les loves his stars, hates to see them leave since it takes so much to get them in the first place. Took us 4 years to land one.
Unless you trade one star for another. "How often does it happen?" you may ask. Uuuuuuuuuhhhh....outside of Kevin Love (who went through a down year after the trade but has bounced back) for Wiggins (who turned out to be a stud and not a dud), and this is actually more of a special case, not involving both players already proven to the league....... Uuuuuuuuuuhhhhh.... (cues Jeopardy music) Er. Probably doesn't happen too much.
This would be a disaster if he leaves. Especially if he goes to los angeles because kobe will be gone and he can have the full Kardashian experience. I know this is the reason.
Is there some third hoopball account or who jsut gave me this hate-rep? "QUit the nonsense. You're not a Rockets fan but a Lin fan. You have never been to Houston let alone TC. Go to the Lin forums" The Harden-fanboys are getting really emotional these days.
Tonight this dude really reminded me of TMac post knee surgery. Just playing lazy as hell, jacking up contested threes with no move to create separation, letting people blow by him on the fastbreak. Glad we won but damn his body language tonight was terrible.
I'm strongly beginning to feel he can't be #1 option on a championship team. Struggling to beat Gordon Hayward and a D-league squad.
