harden is great, harden is terrific...but really...i mean when i see that hot sweaty hair of Asik's flattened against his forehead as his elbow comes down on the top of some dude's head.... well...he had me at: " I am so jazzy liking this groovy place, and the power jazzy american chickies /////_"
I would have to agree.. I think his attitude is the main reason. He didn't bash us, or try to block the trade as soon as he got the news.. Instead he embraced his new role, team, and city.. he sounds like he got a lot of confidence in the group of guys we have dowe here. People like to bash Lin, but has faith in Lin.. and wants to play with him.. Doesn't really seem like a Diva to me.. Can't wait for the next big move..
I guess I will be the only one, but Harden will be my least favorite player. After watching his antics last year I began to serious dislike him - and put him on my list of players I would never want to see in a Rocket's uniform. All my favorite players have been traded - I thought losing Scola was going to be the last straw for me. I watched the preseason games and thought - well I guess I will remain a fan and continue to watch the future games. I started to like Martin and Patterson again. Parsons is my favorite. I could hardly stomach watching Harden when the Rockets played the Thunder. To have to see him every game - well - my excitement for the start of the season just tanked. I miss the guys/teams we had past years. Signed, a sad MA-F-WASP. That's middle-aged, female WASP. FWIW.
Favorite Rockets ever:Yao Ming, Steve Francis,Horry,Dream,Kenny This roster:White,Harden,Asik,Parsons,Lin
He's the best Rocket, maybe he will eventually be my favorite. Right now my favorite is probably Parsons.
I don't think I have a favorite guy, but Harden was someone I REALLY hoped Morey would somehow snag back in the draft. I'm still not crazy about how much it took to get him, but totally glad to see him in a Rocket uniform.
Now this is a SPLASH! Martin? cool. Dragic? meh. Lin? lol NY. Harden? Bout' damn time H-town brought in some legit excitement. I was watching top 10 Harden vs top 10 Martin. You be the judge.
Yes he's my favorite. I'm glad there wasn't any harden-mare type of drama after the trade. No sign of diva in this guy. He's all about business and has said the right things so far.
On the Rockets.. He's a close second behind Chandler... That could change quickly though. As far as all time favorite player nobody comes close to Tracy McGrady from 01-06. When he dropped 61 in Orlando I was in 7th grade and from then on out I was sold. Made it even sweeter when he came to Houston. Miss healthy T Mac...
I prefer Parsons. I hated Harden because of his flopping. I guess I will grow to like it on the Rockets.
Once we threw away my favorite Rocket, Mr. Luis VIVA!! Scola, my favorite player was easily Chandler Parsons. After getting Asik, it pretty much became a tie between Chandler and Omer, with Lin being someone with favorite player potential if he played for the Rockets like he did for that stretch that gave him his deal. I'm still waiting on Lin to show us that guy in games that count. Having gotten that out of the way, I can easily see myself settling on Harden. It's hell having your favorite player on the team waived for cap purposes.
Country Western Jeremy Lin Number 1. I guess I like Chandler. I'd let him by my wing man. Him and Steph Curry are my boys.
