James Harden follows the footsteps of Tracy McGrady, as far as efficiency is concerned

Too bad Stacy never won 22 games in a row. LOLOL
And he is a Second round virgin. It dosent get worse than that.
Im sure no one wants to be a scrub sitting on the bench in china.

 

Know what's just as annoying as the newly created accounts posting garbage like should so and so player shave one armpit to shoot better?

"99ers" that seem to think, simply because they are a "99er" it gives them some extra clout or something. The only thing it proves is you were on this message board since it's inception. I'm not questioning your fandom Tin, you obviously know your stuff. It's just reminiscent of people who post "first" on something, simply to say they were first. In some cases first matters, race, championships, being on the moon. But sometimes...not so much.

Aaaaanyway...

On the topic of the thread, I think if Harden can continue to show more of the court vision that McGrady had, that is berry goot. Above all, staying on the court and keeping a team-first attitude will be the keys for Harden.

I think McGrady was a more talented scorer in the sense that he had a really impressive arsenal. He made it look easy too. As mentioned many times, he did really start to settle for jumpshots a lot during his latter years here.

 

That means we came here for the original reason that this place was created for.

Look at the other threads, people are posting Orlando Magic highlights and Knicks highlights in the GARM.

you know that is not part of the original reason.

99ers are now here to CAUSE INCEPTION. to plant an idea. to plant Clutch City back into the minds of the lost

 

Last thing any Rockets fan should want is for Harden to follow in the footsteps of that loser. As a Rockets fan, I want to see my team in the 2nd round. I want my team's player to aim higher than a 2nd round virgin and diva. Why stoop as low as T-Mac. Why not aim higher, like Kobe or Wade, where the player has a legitimate drive to succeed and win?

 

Although I may not agree, their posts and excitement come from a player who is currently on the roster. I enjoy nostalgia as much as the next guy, but it gets played out. It's no longer nostalgic if it always in your face.

There is also something to be said about living in the past. Recalling the past is great. Living in it constantly...that's something else.

I rarely see your posts (not that I keep track, that would be...creepy) in any other threads that don't involve McGrady. The threads you do start, are always in reference/reply to, usually, a McGrady post/thread of some sort.

This is no intervention, as an intervention of 1 is silly. But you need help, my friend. It is unhealthy where you are at. I worry...ok, not really.

 

Tinmac takes it over the top sometimes but the ironic thing is that he rarely ever said anything bad about T-Mac while he was still a rocket. Don't know how he felt but he wouldn't post bad things. This guy named "Antisonic" on the other hand... would clearly hate on him in every post. What ever happened to him btw?

 

Mang, shooting for Kobe, regarded as one of the most, if not the most competitive player in recent history...that's a tall order. We don't even need to mention the hardware. Were Kobe's efficiency numbers similiar at first as well?

 

I didn't create this thread.
I am fully aware of the current Rockets and do follow them.
There are two players mentioned on this thread and most of us are talking about both of them.

You bumped your thread to tell us that???

 

tmac zealots remind me an awful lot of matt schaub zealots.

so much love for a guy who has never won anything.

dude couldnt get out of teh first round.

not the 2nd round or 3rd round.

the first round.

RD. 1.

ROUND 1.

HE COULDNT GET OUT. EVEN WITH A GREAT CENTER HE COULDNT GET OUT OF ROUND 1.

ROUND 1 BROS.

ROUND 1.

 

Funny thing is he is younger than Kobe and he still cant win in China.

 

A "99er" is meaningless. I don't know when exactly I stumbled on this site, but for every "99er," there is someone like myself, who is in fact an "85er."

Never liked the braggarts that use their so called ""99er" status as it were an actual status, it isn't.

As an "85er," I don't think I know more than someone that joined this morning, because I may not.

 

Why shoot for the moon when you can shoot for the stars? I'm just saying, why do we want Harden to aim low when there are so many brighter stars in the NBA?

 

Lmaaaooooooooooo

 

^REP he called it

 

Common man, the "Ni hao" one was actually funny, this one was turrible, I expected better from you.


Going back to basketball, another T-Mac/Harden similarity is their defense...when T-Mac first came into the league, he was considered an elite defender, and Harden was considered a good defender coming into the league, and once they became the man on their team, they both stopped playing defense.

People compare Harden to Ginobili a lot, but I see more of a hybrid of Kyle Lowry and T-Mac.

 

Harden might turn out to be better than T-Mac.
