    You had me until "He's still my guy"

    I'll never forgive him until he brings a chip to the H.

    I'll never trust him. Harden lost me as a fan tonight.

    Game 5 Rockets/Spurs 2017. We will all look back at this moment in Rockets history as the moment all Houstonian's turned on James Harden, and rightfully so. Just as we did with McGrady before him and Dwight Howard as well. It will be really hard for James to get the trust of the fans back now.

    Harden didn't quit. To quit you have had to been trying at some point.

    I'm sorry you feel this way after the season he had because of one night, but as I said, so be it. I imagine being pro-James Harden will be a minority opinion after tonight, so fair enough. I hope he brings a championship, as well.

    Yup, he was poor in several games those years but after this regular season I thought he may have turned a corner. He had been so steady all year. Genuinely let down by his performance tonight. I actually believed that he would be that rare Houston athlete who would take their team to the next level.

    Words too hollow. Harden is one note emotionally, I don't even know if he means it.

    What can Harden do now to get himself better in the playoffs screw the regular season. James in the playoffs has been terrible. Team will once again need to get better by getting new players. This cycle by Morey is getting old.

    I 100 percent know for a fact that AI and Shaq was 2 of the hall of famers. Shaq has been a Harden basher for years. AI loves Russell Westbrook.

    Improper grammar and context by Spears. James really said "I take responsibility for IT personnel not giving me enough analytics to play good basketball. They are to blame, but I take responsibility. IT people are really the devil, but it's my fault."

    When you are out the night before a playoff game at a strip club until 4am you are NOT taking personal responsibility for it.

    Thanks a Lot TREASURES !

    actions will have to speak louder than words...he had better be locked in the gym all summer, and he might need to see a sports psychologist or something because these mental meltdowns have happened too much

    lol proud he's a rocket. That's like having a GF that's terrible to the core and bad for you in every way. Its like saying, well she's my GF even though she treats me and my family like crap.

    If you're not, that's fine. I'm going to continue to root for him, though. If that's foolish, then fair enough.

    Morey, Les, and Haren are lovers in a co-dependent relationship. Bad for each other and themselves, but the sex is too good to give it up.

    LOL what are you smoking?!?!

    That's exactly what everyone's point is...that its not just one night. The only reason you can't defend him right now is because of the magnitude of this game. He does this pretty frequently.
