    The floor with AD and Kawhi is a deep appreciation from fans and peers. The floor with James Harden is earth's core under hell.

    Watching Harden dominate the league of 8 seasons was more fun than any of those underdog teams. I wish him the best wherever he goes...I hope he wins a ring! The only hope for the Rockets future is Tillman sells the team!:(

    Yea, the first time he's had a REAL superstar next to him. Like a real top 10 player. And even then we were outmatched.

    I enjoy Harden's play and dominance. I like how he used his declaration to out maneuver defenders. It was effective in the playoffs with the right talent around him. The last three playoffs and in 2014-2015 he's been very good.

    Again, I love watching him hit tough shots. Just promise me you wont become this Luka Donic stan okay haha.

    Maybe, but I like having a goal in mind when I watch, just personally.

    I disagree. There were a lot of people very happy that Silas was hired.

    Yeah, and how much of that was because he was a black coach?

    So he is dogging one black man to help another black man? If its about sticking up for his old coach, he can do it without dogging James.

    "Stephen Silas is a great coach. He is going to be awesome. He is going to turn this franchise around. He is the right man for this job. He deserves this opportunity".

    If you ask me, Silas has been doing fine so far. He didn't need Jackson's help.

    I remember it being talked about a lot. SAS talked about it on his show. I remember you even talking about it when compared to how Nash was hired by the Nets.

    That was worse, fans were split on his injury claims, some called it a hoax and others were furious with the Spurs for trying to rush him back.

    It also got very bad with AD.

    How is telling the truth dogging James? The man is making over $40 million to be the leader of the franchise, and missed training camp to go kick it with a 26 year old man named Lil Baby.

    Im glad someone finally has enough nuts to call James out. I'm a huge Harden fan. But, his recent moves have been complete b.s. Maybe the public call out will wake him up. I love it.

    I’m only talking about here on CF

    the vast majority weren’t happy because the Rockets hired a black coach...they were happy because Silas was smart, helped designed the Mavs offense, could coach a contender or rebuild, etc

    somebody would say we need to hire a black coach on here, and they would get ridiculed and hit with the usual “Idc if the coach is white, black, green, or purple” type posts...but now they care about black coaches :rolleyes:

    With Jimmy Butler, is was also way worse. Because people already hate James Harden, things like this gets lost in the way side. Well....partying during a pandemic is pretty bad though...he's def a moron for that.

    I think Silas is Stack 5’s cousin - so it’s personal for him. That said I sort of hear what he’s saying. He should have played out the year, given a young black coach Silas a shot; help make him look good and get your trade after the season.

    instead we have a sh*t show of distractions to deal with everyday until he’s traded.

    LOL

    James Harden is making over $40 million to play games that count and score 30 PPG. I don't think anyone in here has any doubt James is capable of doing that. What Stephen Jackson is complaining about, according to you, is that James didn't play nice and wasn't supportive of Jackson's old buddy.
