    Gotta be the worst hamstring injury ever.

    Suffered a “very serious injury” 11 months ago, then spent his offseason (in Paris) with Da Lil Baby, started the season, quit on another team, got traded, first 5 games they said not the next Kobe & Shaq but BETTER than K&S(no mention of this hamstring), fast forward to the playoffs, stinks, bring back the hamstring injury excuse.



    Remember when he brought all his rapper buddies out vs the Nets and then got spanked? :D
    (And then partied with them later that night)

    “I never wanted to be traded to the Nets in the first place. Or Philly for that matter. Miami was my first choice.”

    Sure, but it's just weird that the same energy isn't kept for literally anyone else. Also, this is a thread about Miami and Philadelphia - in going through this thread as a casual viewer of the forum, you'd think it was about James Harden if it wasn't for the thread title.

    No one cares to talk about how Maxey has been or how good the Heat have been. It's just Harden this, Harden that.

    I don't care for Harden praise or Harden slander, but when it's like every other post, it gets real boring to read.

    He's been anti-Harden for a long time now, also, I don't like when people brag about how long they've been here but he's been on this website since 99, so I don't think he's more anti-Harden than pro-Rockets. I just think that since he's been one of the main guys against Harden for years now he's taken a lot of flak for that and now he's going to give it back.

    It doesn't matter to him that Harden is aging or teammates are hurt, because history isn't going to see it that way either, it's just going to say that Harden couldn't lead a team to a championship. End of.

    Personally, I'm indifferent to it. Harden ain't a rocket anymore, he can get his flowers when his jersey retires, but he's still a player so no one got time for that.

    I do know that when I was defending 'Westbrook' and 'Dwight' I made the argument that they still should be respected for their accomplishments even if they aren't in their prime anymore. Some people didn't agree. I remember thinking then I hope people keep that same energy when it starts to look like father time comes for Harden, when his burst isn't what it used to be and all that. So I really don't have sympathy for it. He was an amazing player while here that will go down as a top 5 Rocket of all time for a long time but his post-season demons will always haunt his legacy.

    He's on Harden's nuts more than he talks about the Rockets. He's obsessed LMAO taken flack for what? He was wrong then and he's wrong now. He's taken a lot of flack because he would make brain dead takes with no basis. What he's doing right now doenst vindicate him lol.

    Thats stupid lol.

    Neither of those guys mean more to the Rockets than Harden and neither of those guys were as good as him while they were here? Obviously they both are going to go down as HOF. Westbrook got named to top 75.

    You dont have to have sympathy, that's fine. But dont say one of the biggest morons on this board is vindicated for anything bro lol, there is nothing here that vindicates him.

    It's funny to see the difference in takes about Harden here and on the Phili board. They acknowledge that Houston Harden is no more but at the same time acknowledge he's a good player still. They are fine with what they have especially if he takes a massive discount which I see happening.

    The Sixers roster is really flawed and just bad. Harden gave guys looks and Green and CO just bricked them. Morey has his work cut out for him with no real tradeable pieces. Thybulle has lost all his value and there isn't much else.


    Still can't get over the drop off with Harden in 11 months.

    It's really sad when they try to use seniority as if they should be taken more seriously, simply because they've been here longer.

    If the quality of their posts haven't changed since they registered, then there's been a whole lotta garbage spewed on CF for 20+ years.

    Bingo! It was never personal until a select few decided to make it personal. I’ve been called all kinds of racist names, labeled a YOF, Lin only Fan, small dick, or been insinuated that Harden F’ed my mom or sister or girl and all kinds of other nasty shiit. All cause I criticized his shortcomings? So yeah…. You damn right I’ma dish it back.

    ...so instead of DM'ing and settling your grievances with the person(s)/poster(s) who actually called you names and caused you grief, you talk poorly about Harden, someone who will never know you exist?

    Ok. That makes sense. :rolleyes:

    I hope you’re not alluding to me bragging about seniority. I only mention it as a friendly reminder to your worthless fan club mates who refer to me as a YOF or LOF. With that said 99ers >>>>>>>>> just ask my man @tinman

    He's washed, playing like hot garbage and clearly can't carry a team anymore. I've said that multiple times. But sure, keep lying to make yourself feel better.

    Stop trying to invent fake opponents in order to justify your garbage posts.

    Why are you so scared of talking to the posters who actually call you names?
