    You really think this guy has Houstons interest at heart? I do not expect anything different from you defending him, you are going to hold onto any last leg, the moment you don't, you will believe that you will look like an "idiot" so this is the only card you have at play....

    Oh you're reaching with your agenda now tinman.

    Reputation to leave organizations? That's a new one.

    We'll just go with his prime before injuries shall we since we both agree he had no say in anything after his injuries.

    He left Toronto because he wanted to step out of Vince's shadow and show the league he was a star player.

    EXACTLY the same reason why Harden left okc. (on before your retort is he left for money. Which we both know you'd make even though you know he wanted to show he's a star player so he could get paid)

    He was then traded to Houston because both organisations thought it a better fit.

    So once again please stop posting on the BBS about things which go on in your fantasy world. It's becoming embarrassing right now how easy it is to swat away your idiotic posts.

    EDIT: actually just read your full post. Harden shows up every game? That's news to every Rockets fan! Haha this is actually gold Tinman. I thought you were stupid when your only rebuttal was mentioning 99 and championships. But I can honestly understand why you do that now.

    Your fall back arguments are utterly embarrassing .

    T-Mac no question. At least he cared more on defense.

    Your fantasy world is that Tmac did something for this organization.

    My world James Harden, regardless of his attitude and bad defense and trashy women, led the Rockets to the furthest it's ever been since Barkley.

    Before you mention he had some bad series, so did Steph Curry in the Finals .

    But without Harden last year, the Rockets would have bad because Dwight was out most of the season.

    So once again, please stop ignoring what Tmac didn't do, because that happened in Rockets history.

    And how did it all end? badly, coming back to Toyota Center being booed by fans.

    And don't even think I organized that, I didn't jedi mind trick the Rockets fans.

    What's sad is people bringing up Tmac when they want to bash on Harden.

    I suspect that it's just to romanticize Tmac's tenure, which was nowhere as productive.

    To be fair, the Rockets never had T-mac in his prime. Orlando T-mac was far more gifted than Harden and also his game was far more aesthetically pleasing.

    Both were **** leaders though.

    He' still playing for the Rockets.
    Hasn't asked for a trade.

    At least Harden has legs.

    I'm still rooting for Harden, despite his crap. You can feel like his tenure was a failure, but don't compare him to the ultimate failed Rockets tenure, McGrady.

    Yup and you did leave out those fans that were clapping, doing standing ovations and cheering.

    Mixed crowd at best. :cool:

    No we got him in his prime. His stats went down because he was paired with Yao and a defense oriented coach.

    We got Tmac alright... and his legion of fans too

    You didn't see Mcgrady in his first 3 years in Orlando. He was far more explosive and lighter. Mcgrady packed on a few as a Rocket. His prime was very short.

    Yes I did. I was excited we got him like every other Rockets fan.
    You can even google my thoughts on here. I'm a 99er, we've at least seen the NBA since 99.

    I thought we'd go far after Tmac dunked on Bradley, that was Tmac's highest moment of hope.

    The reality was game 7 vs Dallas.

    Really? Hawks and Pistons have no reasons to boo him. He was washed up.

    They did not give him that kind of money.

    You think booing is bad? It is really a gesture that the fans used to love him and felt disappointed. But they DID LOVE HIM.

    It is just like hating your ex.

    It would be worse for a player if they just ignored him. No fan reaction at all.

    BTW just saw that Jeremy is on "Creators never Follow"

    Jeremy and Harden are the Turnover Bros and not the Splash bros
