They are spoiled and jealous, the new folk are. Their parents forgot to teach them humility in this day and age. It's not just the Rockets. It's a now and I'm right society without the need of any evidence or experience. Like Olajuwon, it's impossible to explain that era to kids now. And no matter how good Harden is now, you can't explain how Dream had 4 dudes draped on him and he still scores and then blocks and diverts shots on the other side of the end of the court, while not eating any food cause of Ramadan. MVPs aren't won after a few weeks and Championships aren't won cause you hit a bunch of jump shots on TNT.
I did not ask if you watched every Rockets game. I asked if you watch every Warriors, Celtics, Raptors, Grizzlies, Blazers, Cavs, Bucks, Wizards, Wolves, and Pacers games to see what their guards do?
Every year . . . . WE ARE A THREAT Every year we have a 'punchers chance' Yea we need Harden to step up in the BIG GAMES and he has in some Trust I want him to be better and everything However . . . It's hard for me to be overly pissed at him when my Power Forward is going 1-11 for 5 points and 3 rebounds When the team is going 4-34 in wide open threes When we are out rebounded 57-41 . . . . . .. When he playing 40 minutes a game I get mad. . . I get pissed. . . I get angry then I calm down and be a little more rational The funny thing is .. . HArden and Westbrook could have the same crappy stats and people will SLOB over Westbrook becuase of HIS INTENSITY AND HE LOOKS LIKE HE TRIES HARD He basically Georges the League Rocket River
Man I would kill for Thorpe and Horry on this team Sam Cassell on this team .. . IF we had that. . I would guarantee a Championship Rocket River F***ing Barkley Trade . ..
99ers are the purest Rockets fans on Clutchfans Our loyalty is cemented in the history of the Rockets as well as the history of the world It's impossible for a 99er to be disloyal you have a better chance seeing an asteroid hit the earth
I in no way act like there aren't any distinct deficits to Harden's game. Actually, if you read my original post, part of it said: "He has his flaws, no doubt. He ballwatches too much on defense still. He plays for the foul and for the whistle. He can get visibly frustrated and let it effect his game. He sometimes has the appearance of being lazy on the court. I'm not debating these things. He could definitely improve in some areas." That in no way sounds like me acting like there isn't a distinct deficit to his game. And you act like there are other superstar players out there that don't have their own flaws/weaknesses in their games. There isn't.
the funny part is... as phenomenal and integral to our championships that Cassell and Horry were... do u think MDA would play them in the same situation today? Sam was a rookie for the 1st championship... and Horry certainly wouldnt have had the benefit of starting 79 games the year before (as a rookie) and then starting 81 for the championship year - avg 29+ mins his first 2 years... that aint happenin on MDA's watch - lol!
I dont get pissed when shots dont fall - regardless of who's shooting them... sometimes they fall - sometimes they dont... now if they aint falling - and you keep shooting - then we got an issue... lol I get pissed when guys do stupid things... jacking up ill-advised 3s... playing hero ball... not playing d.... being careless with the ball.... putting their stats ahead of long term team goals... I judge based on effort... so yeh, if you're sucking - I want to see you pissed or at least concerned - not aloof and certainly not laughing it up on the sideline like Kevin Martin... As long as I get the sense that a guy is giving his all to try to help the team - he's aces in my book...
oh gawd.... helloooooooo jordnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.... yes, I appreciate the opportunity to win it all... but that doesn't mean I'm going to bury my head in the sand and not continue to push for improvement...
I dunno about "poor DMo", he's currently making more right now in China than he was in the NBA and is set to make a return to the NBA when the CBA playoffs are done.
brewer's goat is banned. I'm not down with banning users for having negative opinions, but incessant trolls who are dumbing down the board? I'm all for purging the board of them. Report the posts. Quote the worst replies you see in the future (and tag me on it) and I'll take a look.
