    @Eddie Cecco

    I believe this.

    Wall seems completely dejected and so does Silas.

    Harden is being a complete ******* to people who deserve better.

    Nah. That’s highly debateable. Im not awestbrook fan but I always thought Westbrook was the better player.


    Wall has better handles and jumper but he’s never been the scorer that Westbrook was. I doubt he could put up 28 8 8 and Russ did.


    Russ has had more success in a better conference with less conference. Wall has never had a season come close to the mvp year that Russ had. The only positive I had with wall is I live in dc and I seen him have those postseason performancess at the bad of series that we never get from Harden and not got from Russ.
    John wall in the playoffs is a beatiful thing to see.

    As long as you do a great job out on the floor, I trust that Silas is going to reward you with more PT and lead to better salaries.

    If Harden doesn't hit the floor with fire in his eyes, I'd think he has more to lose than the organization at this point.

    Not much to talk about. At the end of the day, your game does the talking.

    This is the thing.
    Harden has to go. He is bad for team moral.
    You gotta get your new players in asap.
    We can't replace hardens 40+ points a game. But we can make our players better.

    You have to move away from Gordon and Tucker. F HARDEN show him the signs on the wall he is gone.
    But when doing so you have to bring back talent.

    And you need pure shooters and defenders.

    If a player fan becomes a Rocket fan, that is fine...but after dealing with Lin fans and the whole tmac v yao wars I can say definitely that player onlyfans are usually annoying as **** for diehard fans of the team. I imagine all the Kobe stans that were crapping on Lebron when he joined the Lakers, those are example of player onlyfans. Even though they KNEW Lebron made their team better they were more worried about how he affected the legacy of Kobe Bryant than the success of their team.

    If someone isn't local, I understand though.

    Yup, add the list of another player/coach disrespected, hurt, etc... by Harden. Harden is SO talented but so immature is maddening.

    That describes a lot of NBA players, unfortunately.

    Granted Harden hasn’t practiced with the new players much and is still a top 5-7 player. But the team looks better with Wall running point. The ball sticks less with Wall. Role players played with more confidence the past few preseason games than I’ve seen with Harden.

    Silas hasn’t had much of a chance to put his system in completely. Given the extremely short offseason

    But the glimpses we’ve seen look good.

    James Harden likes John Wall.

    James Harden doesn't have confidence in the Rockets organization.

    It is going to get nasty. Harden showed up to camp late and that wasn't a good start to all of this.... he now is practicing and playing, and now the organization is leaking stories.

    Until Harden is dealt there is going to be issues, and that isn't anything personal against Harden nor is it against his teammates... it is just the reality.

    Teams are waiting for the Rockets demands to go down.

    Westbrook sucks.

    His playoff performances over the last handful of years have been all time bad.

    I dont believe in this leaking stories too much

    I think a lot of this is made up...people trying to get attention in some way or another...possible other teams are injecting stories too

    Having no point guard would have been better than Westbrook in the playoffs this year.

    Mr. Wall, you don't need Harden's respect. You are a great player who has suffered some injuries but you worked your ass off and came back strong! You have my respect from coming back from two horrible injuries and for representing H-TOWN since day one!

    Yeah, those 15 years of mediocrity before he got here were really something. Can't wait to revisit it again.
