    Again with me being a stan of a player that wasn't even playing in the league when I started posted here.

    You are accusing me of being a stan but if someone says ANYTHING negative about Harden you fly in to take the punch.

    Didn't Shaun Livingston also have the achilles issue?

    Wut. I never said I put you on ignore. You talk way more **** about me than I do you and therefore I thought it would be healthier for YOU to put me on ignore.

    Again, did you graduate high school yet? I only have your diction and rhetoric to go by.

    But Westbrook played like he had a brain stem rupture.

    How can someone who joined a Rocket forum in 2007 and has been heavily active in it be a stan of Russel Westbrook when he joined the Rockets in 2019? It doesn't make sense in terms of my understanding of space and time.

    Maybe he has some super power?

    I'm in the boat that believes he will be as ready as Westbrook was last season. Harden liked what he saw recently and so do I...

    The quick twitch movement on defense at 1:18, and the rim run at 1:50 are exactly what i needed to see!

    up until today I haven't posted about you for the longest cause it's just tiresome. But today you feel the urge to talk to me for some reason. and as i said before Putting you on ignore makes no difference to me cause i don't initiate conversation with you anyway. It's you that felt the need today.

    I don't get bothered replying to you. You are just another poster. If I disagree with the content I see I often reply with my opinion of what I disagree. That is the nature of an online forum.

    But you definitely hurl more personal insults towards other posters than I've seen on average. You seem to have the maturity of a teen hence why I'm asking if you graduated high school yet.

    I'm starting to think some people are actual relatives of Harden or something. It's odd. People are VERY protective of his stats and numbers.

    I have been here when it was Tmac vs Yao, constantly. That's where that whole 'Only Fan' moniker popped up IIRC...

    I don't get too involved in the pooslinging. If you think I'm a Westbrook stan, so be it.

    I think the whole argument against Russ is interesting, especially the whole "Empty stats, can't win" thing...because that's what I hear from ESPN, Twitter, Reddit, etc, about Harden all the time.

    definitely. I'll have to take that into consideration when seeing your posts from now on. It makes much more sense

    Some people just get emotionally attached to a player, moreso than the tean.

    I recall him having that horrendus knee injury where he tore his ACL, PCL and lateral meniscus and almost had his leg amputated.

    Depends on when he came back though. We don’t know when he started scrimmaging or doing basketball work outs. We do know he has played in a lot of scrimmages past several months. But he did have almost 2 years without the grind of the NBA. Hopefully he is fresh.

    Dude lots of players from poor areas “The hood” have friends still in gangs or dealings with criminal activity. It’s part of coming from that area that some childhood friends or high school friends who never made it out are still there doing those sort of things. Even relatives as well. This is the reality. One shouldn’t judge and say it’s good or bad. It is just commonplace. He would be smart to stay away from that environment but sometimes it’s difficult. It’s easy to sit and judge especially if you have never grown up in such an environment. But we can say the same of other groups of people who went to college and made something out of themselves for instance while childhood friends or relatives are still stuck in dead end jobs or minimum wage jobs or heavy drug use or selling drugs etc. just life man.

    You know I anyways thought Harden would be great to a true SG the likes of Mcollum, Klay Thompson, or Beal. I think that tandem of Harden and Beal would be unstoppable. But to his defense Wall is a crafty passer and can really play the point. He is a true combo guard. I don’t know it’s going to work but I’m excited about the possibility and as fans we should all be hopeful and positive at least.
