    Well for one, elimination games arent the only things that matter. That's literally ignoring every other playoff games to focus on a small sample size of an even smaller sample size. I could pick out a bunch of "mental midget" moments from a bunch of other players. So that's picking and choosing things to fit a narrative. He's been a great playoff player the past 4 post seasons. That's not true. And that's not why Russ asked for a trade. Harden is known to be one of the hardest workers in the NBA. And thats corroborated. Just because he parties a lot, doesnt mean he doesnt work hard. Russ only left because Harden decided to leave. And Harden did not play well next to Dwight? Even if go you look at those past playoffs, Harden was our best player. Again, He had one hamstring, why do you continually ignore that? That was bad of Harden AND Tillman, and Daryl still had the situation under control. I asked you because you pick and choose things and ignore facts to support a narrative much like another subset of people.

    Clearly he didn't value that title given the way he treated the Rockets his last few years here.

    I have Yao Ming above Harden in Rockets legacy. He was amazing in 2009 carrying this team on his back while mcgrady took microfracture against the teams wishes. I truly believe we would've beat the Lakers and made the finals that year if not for Yao's foot injuries.

    Yao was amazing bro. He was Houston all day and all night. He understand loyalty and humility.

    No he wasnt, it was Dwight, but how about every playoffs after that? It was Harden. Who cares if Dwight left when he did?Dude all playoff games matter, you posting elimination game stats and not taking in the context of a series is BAD analysis. Why talk about things if you dont care about context or facts?
    I dont care about your medicals. I was just roasting you.

    How did he treat the Rockets, he asked for a trade? Lots of players do that. Keep your eye on Lillard.

    Why? Thats ridiculous? Do you know how many times Harden has carried us?

    Yao is cool, was Harden not loyal to us during the snow storm?

    Sick roast I guess. Yikes.

    yes elimination games will always be important. He tried to avoid them by joining a super team and hoping for easy series. But unfortunately he provided no help to the best player in the playoffs.

    Yea"Harden burner" from a two week old account is the pinnacle of roasting I guess, lmao also quoting lyrics is also very clever.

    Okay? So is every playoff game. So did Lebron, so did Durant, so did Curry. Kawhi also won his first ring with a bunch of HOF and the GOAT coach. See, when you say stuff like this, it makes me question your intelligence, do you not know how serious a grade 2 hamstring injury is.

    Quoting lyrics? Wut ? If you can’t be a net postive on your team it’s very hard to win elimination games. You have to be pretty bad to lose with Durant going off next to you but it is what it is.

    That has nothing to do with the Houston Rockets though. Its like when people got mad at lebron leaving the first time after the decision on TV and people would say "but he builds schools in the area and helps kids"

    It's completely irrelevant to the sports franchise. I mean with that logic I can say Tilman Fertitta has been much more loyal to houston considering all he's donated to charity here.

    Im talking that dude's post that you liked. Wtf? And you are a very bad team if your team's are constantly in elimination games. You are bad analyst if all you focus on is elimination games. You pick and choose things to fit a narrative while ignoring how you get to that point. Anyone would be bad on one leg, that is how the human anatomy works...what are you talking about?

    So harden is always on one leg during these elimination games? You are not a bad team if you find yourself in playoff elimination games. The more playoff series you play the more elimination games you play in.

    Dude, the Rockets are IN HOUSTON, the people of Houston are the ones who usually care about the Rockets. People who are mad at Lebron were wrong just like they were mad at Harden.

    A city is never irrelevant to a sports franchise. Tillman is also not a good guy. And THAT has been corroborated by a lot of people. I dont want to even get into that.

    Personally I'd much rather Harden keep his free restaurant food he gave out during the storm and just remain a Houston Rocket instead of playing us the way he played us. I don't like those "but he does stuff off the court" arguments.

    Tilman is definitely not a good guy, but maybe harden isn't either. There's really not a big difference in between the dude whos worth like 700 million and the dudes whos worth like 5 billion donating money to Houston. Thanks but it's just a rich dude throwing money at stuff. Hell look what Tilman has done for UH.

    Yao was real. He truly gave himself to the city. For that, he will always be above Harden to me.

    He was on this last one, and you cant act like that doesnt matter. Well for one Harden doesnt play bad in every elimination, you can post that stat about elimination games but it doesnt have any context behind it. How many elimination games were the Lakers in last year? Or the KD Warriors? Even then, context matters. And you arent giving it, so why should your analysis be taken seriously? I post a bunch of stats where dude's chocked,
