Ugly style of play.... everyone thats not a rockets fan has said this for a while now Not giving effort on defense.... Even in GARM we destroy him during games for not even trying to defend Bad Reputation.. to nba fans he does have a bad reputation mostly due to his style of freethrows first gameplay If you take off the rockets colored shades you will see that these guys are telling the truth. Even the guys that voted for all NBA teams may be thinking Hardens a good offensive player that lacks the leadership and defense needed to be a top tier regardless of his PPG Considering the rockets struggles this past season and record, Harden has taken Kevins loves "empty stats" crown.
Kevin Love was a king of advanced stats in Minnesota that were called EMPTY stats because his team wasn't winning. Harden is that guy now
Both of y'all should be banned from the site. You going to compare Harden, who has led us to never miss the playoffs in his tenure here, to Kevin Love who led his team to multiple 50 loss seasons. I wonder what you were saying the last 3 seasons, even last year when he was a MVP runner up. One down season from the TEAM and y'all pile on our best player. Fickle as hell, should go follow your boy Chandler in Dallas.
you do realize love never led the twolves to even 41 wins which Is hardens worst year as a rocket. Smh. Steph curry the mvp would not have won more than 45 games with the way the role player played this year. We had brewer one of the worst players statsistcally in the whole league playing 25+ minutes a game most nights. We had the worst starting PF group in maybe the entire league had to start our sf over 12x during the season at the position. What was the problem when harden was the best player on a team that won 54 and 56 wins in consecutive years 45 in host first year starting at age 23 on a team pegged to win 25 games? I get it we sucked this year and as the best player he takes the most blame and he's getting it from the whole NBA world, but he doesn't deserve to be cast as some stat padding bum who doesn't win. The guys never had a losing record as a number one option he's made the playoffs every year here and taking us to the WCF for the first time in almsot 20 years. Some of you guys act like we're the Spurs and we've won 5 championships over the last 18 years. This franchise hasn't had much success in the playoffs or even won made the playoffs in consecutive years. We've had sustained succuess with JH and as a longtime rockets fan I can appreciate that. More of you guys should.
knowing Harden he ain't going to prove anyone wrong because he simply doesn't care. He thinks he's the best player in the universe and he got paid so that's all it matters to him. Probably surrounded by Yes men. Last time someone called out his mom in the playoffs, he went out and put out a record poor performance.

Lol what's Tad gonna do about it? Only reason I can think of to make that call is to tell Tad to get better at promoting Harden otherwise he's out once his contract ends.
He was deservedly left out like I predicted and yet we have enablers lie Toad Brown and Derpyl Moronc going to battle for him on twitter. This front office is just an enabler front office and they have coddled Jim Harden so much to the detriment of the franchise. I don't care if he cried on the phone to you Toad, no need to put it out on twatter. And if it really hurt Harden so much to be left off the ALL NBA teams, he will come back and show us next season through his play Or alternatively he could come back fat and overweight like he did last season after being hurt at not winning the MVP
That's probably why Harden called him. Probably mad that he had to share signage with Howard. Dude calls the teams CFO instead of calling his trainer.
