    Thanx jr repped.

    So the only problem he sees is the effort? Where is the pride he talks about? I dont' see no pride. And the reason not to play Thorton is ridiculous sorry.

    Take a closer look around DH gets plenty of blame but again harden doesn't get some pass. So bc harden is here scoring like you say he can play the way he does. Now that's ridiculous.

    Hakeem was a leader on both sides of the court

    Harden is not perfect. The problem is that because I'm defending him people think I'm a Harden homer. No, I just recognize that if everyone else did their jobs we would be winning because for the most part he does his. We won over 50 games and 40+ games in the two years that Harden wasn't playing D. The difference between then and now is that no one around him can shoot or play D or make a layup or rebound. He's still scoring though.

    James Harden is the problem ? You're kidding ! Dwight "Candy Ass" Howard with 4 points and FOUR rebounds in 28 minutes. Hell, a blind man could stand out there and get 4 rebounds. Dwight is a dismal failure. 22 mil ...for what ? An absolute joke !

    Rockets further entrenching themselves in mediocrity with each and every game.

    Be real first. harden this year is not the same player from the last two years. You're still making it seem like it's ok that he doesn't play defense bc it's for some reason not his job. If your "star" doesn't how do you expect everyone else to follow suit night in and night out

    Leadership is underrated.

    Look at LeBron, he could be just as lazy on D as Harden, but he isn't, his team responds.

    Tim Duncan is a billion years old, and he still tries hard on D.

    Hakeem would absolutely embarrass Dwight. Does anybody REALLy still consider him elite ? My goodness...if so, you are brain damaged.

    Caspi was a scrub on the rockets, no way he should ever score that many points

    You're not reading my posts. Harden is not the same player from last year, but he is the same player from the first two years here. He started the season cold that's the only difference. Both Harden and Howard are our stars and two people cant do it by themselves. Right now we look as if we have no competent role players and our highest paid player, who gets paid about 5 mil more than Harden a year gave us 4 rebounds tonight. Rebounding and defense is his job. Scoring is Harden's. Harden is doing his job much better than anyone else on the team. If you put more competent players and a better coach around him we would be winning right now.

    You're right Phi.....it was embarrassing. Dwight has a "ticker" problem. Been saying it for over 2 years now. "Playoff" Dwight don't mean jack if you don't make the playoffs. He's a wimp...if I can't have it "my way" , I'll take my marbles and go home. Cousins ATE Dwight's ass alive...he should be ashamed.

    Howard: "I’m trying to get these guys to play better and myself to play better. People say what they got to say to get a story out."

    Dwight Howard on report he is very unhappy with role: "“I haven’t said anything to anybody about anything. People make up lies and rumors."

    Oh well this was short lived......MAYBE
