    Yea like Fran, a person who Harden got pissed at during post game interviews in the Portland series, has access to this information.

    Blinebury has had a grudge against the Rockets for a long time and will post anything.

    Think I'm just going to have to take a break from the Rockets and the GARM all together for a few days.

    Well he sure did a good job hiding it. I feel like that would have at least been posted on Clutchfans at some point if he put it out there previously.

    Okay so if he reported on this 2 years ago, where is the link the article to his original report he apparently made. Where the hell is this coming from.

    And this article here is from less than a week ago. Again... I personally think he's full of s#$%.

    Do as you want.

    Also Woj reported this week that the relationship between Harden and Howard has devolved

    I will have to look for a link on that one too I guess lol.
    It was posted this week but noone paid much attention.


    We will never know for sure unless either Stein/woj reports it, or Cyber.

    There could be something there. Clutch mentioned in that "dont give up on dwight" article, or maybe somewhere else, anyways he said that after the game in the locker room, he saw Dwight come up to Harden and they were joking around and laughing with each other. Clutch said it was one of the first times hes seen them do that.

    I think they get along but there is no chemistry there. They don't play well off each other.

    I don't believe a single word about that. No way Dwight and James were trying to get rid of each other less than one year after joining forces.

    Especially after everything Dwight had been through.

    So Harden wanted to trade Howard, because he thought Howard wanted the same? If that's true, Harden is bigger idiot than I thought. Howard came to Houston because he wanted to play with Harden.

    cute how Fran elevates text messages higher than sauces, since he has none. When did he start using this millennial trick.

    I guess saying "there were phone calls between x and y" doesnt work in the internet world. Fran is such an old fart trying to be cutting edge with his made up stories now

    Yeah.... no. Howard and Harden came together for the 2013-2014 season.

    That's a really big question mark for me... who the heck would play well off of Harden?

    I honestly can't think of any big man that would...

    So I know two people that have been around Harden, One was a personal trainer and the other is a girlfriend I've known for a while. This was before he was chasing Khloe.

    They both said the same thing, Harden hates playing with Howard because when you run PNR, all you can do is lob it to him. Defenses now know that all you have to do is foul Howard on the lob attempt and most likely, he miss one free throw. Harden prefers someone who can dive to the rim and pop a jumper.

    It has never been a personal thing.

    Ok ..I'm almost 95% sure that it was in the Mannix podcast where Woj said that the relationship between Harden and Howard has devolved.

    He said that Howard hasn't been a failure in Houston but their relationship with Harden is not good and has gotten worse.

    Probably because we suck this season. When things go bad then people usually start getting along less
