    What's funny about he HOFs is that they will post insane stuff and accuse the critics of being stupid. I still remember the "turnovers aren't correlated with winning" one. A classic.

    Now it's "harden didn't make an all NBA team because of Vines."

    Harden was the main reason why our chemistry was destroyed early on. We never recovered for that big timer. Everyone was playing for themselves. No unity at all.

    Now I understand what you're saying here. But my thing is Player X comes in and our chemistry is on point. They could easily make the playoffs as the 8th seed. Player X could have brought that attitude that made everyone better.

    Maybe it was Harden winning the Shaqin a fool MVP awards. Lol

    Harden is a beast but man he did a lot of wrong this past season. Hopefully we see a new and improved Harden going forward.

    Also pretty sure NBA Gms have Harden ranked much higher than Kawhi in their survey.

    Lol.. Attitude doesn't simply make players better... It doesn't make players make shots... Attitude doesn't fix personnel issues... Who is player X... What's their skillset?

    I watched the games, too.

    I saw Corey Brewer, Ty Lawson, Dwight Howard, Terrence Jones, Trevor Ariza, Josh Smith, and Jason Terry all have perhaps the worst year of their respective careers.

    But as we all know...that is Harden's fault, as is everything Rockets-related.

    True dat. But Harden did take a major step back defensively this year as well.

    Yep and that's true, but he also was shouldering the greatest offensive load in the NBA.... What's everyone else's excuse?

    and by watching the games, I believe you hava pretty good idea of how good or bad the rockets are without harden in relation to other teams without their best player correct?

    don't you think everyone from head coach to coaching staff to starters to last man on the bench all did a complete 180 and got significantly worse?

    They were pretty bad no doubt. But this season could've went a lot better if Harden would've played like he did the 2nd half of the season. And I'm talking both ends of the court.

    Yes they did. But hmmm I thought the best player on your team suppose to make his teammates better. I guess not around here.

    People knocked Melo for not making his teammates better. But that does not apply to Mr. James Harden huh

    Dream attitude made his teammates better.

    Jordan tough competitiveness made his teammates better.

    LeBron attitude makes his teammates much better.

    So please don't tell that it doesn't.

    exactly how bad? if last season harden sat and all the other teams best player sat out as well, and assuming all coaching staffs remained the same, how would the rockets rank among all 30 teams? I would say worst to bottom 3 at best. Do you agree? If not tell me which best player less teams a harden less rockets will have a better record against?
