    Why is everything about Lin...Hardin does not minimizes Lin contribution....Lin minimizes his own contribution....Do you even watch the freaking game...

    So you don't think Harden has an agenda against Lin? You don't think Harden has a habit of foot on the line, or jumping in mid air not knowing what to do with the ball?

    Real Rocket fans can see that.

    I have seen Harden not pass to Lin when he has an open look on 3 pointers and lay ups. I have seen Asik miss layups on purpose on passes from Lin.

    I suspect that Morey and McHale told Harden and the rest of the Rockets to sabotage Lin. Seriously, watch the games... it is obvious.

    Well, he started the thread yesterday, not today, so -obviously- he is completely serious.

    Why do you hate Harden? And WHERE is the outrage, clutchfans.... only 11 pages? Do you people not care for your players AT ALL?


    That's it. I'm out of here. Clutchfans no longer has anything to offer me, I see now after being subjected to this drivel. The GARM is dead to me. No longer will I wander these vacuous threads in search of enlightenment (and the Styx forum).

    poisson d'avril

    This Harden guy is a cancer, his demeanor and that extremist looking beard of his. Everybody notices how he ISOs Jeremy Lin with ball and never hands it to him. Team Ball>Harden. We should trade him so we can surround jeremy Lin with good shooters and he can run the offensse perfectly.

    Wow - who would've thought McHale knows better than a bunch of LoFs...
    Wow you've been around for a while and I always thought you were smarter than that. Lin is a Rocket and he seems to be a decent guy and a decent basketball player. Yeah he is no CP3 but what's with all the reverse hate.

    I hardly follow it because I think it is the stupidest argument on these boards. So what if a bunch of guys come around just to root for Lin or Harden or any individual Rocket player. Many of fans that come over for Lin begin to be Rockets fans irregardless. It's human nature.

    I remember when I started following the Rockets when Elvin Hayes was playing for them. By the end of that season I was a true Rocket fan and I liked all of them and that was when they were the San Diego Rockets. Right now I am a DMo fan. I like his attitude and I think he has potential. I was a bit disappointed that he was taken out of the starting lineup. But we won and that was more important. I was VSpan and I hated how JVG never gave him a fair shot to play here. I was a Battier fan and I hated that he got traded the same with Scola and to a lesser degree PPat.

    I don't get all the hate for LOF's many of them are becoming Rockets fans if not already. I doubt any of them wish the Rockets lose. They are rooting for the same Rockets team that we are. How can that be a bad thing. Everyone has there favorite players. SO what if theres is Lin are was Yao or if it's Harden or DMo. So what if Asik's Mom roots more hi than Greg smith. It is the stupidest thing to hate them for that. Thes are some of the stupidest post arguing with fans who you consider to be inferior Rockets fans. ANd the thing is I always thought you were above that. You have been a Rocket fan for a while. Don't stoop to such cheapshot antics, you are above that. At least I hope.

    Sarcasm is something people can't enjoy in good jest anymore these days.

    Harden has done nothing wrong against Lin. He's not the one limiting Lin's minutes and making him stand in the corner. Its all the coaching staff so don't blame Harden for something done wrong by the coaches. Harden sometimes has a bad habit of trying to do too much offensively but he does pass the ball, just needs to learn to continue to play within the flow of the game and let the hot hand shoot not think of buffing his stats.

    HaHaHa. I see what's going on here. :grin::grin:

    You guys are just too clever.

    Not clever enough though to realize Lin is a good PG and Harden's defense and ISO is the road to mediocrity. Not hating on Harden - McHales fault entirely. Oh well I think you're starting to see the light - now that the season is almost over. Congratulations on your high BBIQ.

    Stoudemire is a top 5 player as well.

    Are the Rockets better without Harden?

    Is a strip club better without exotic dancers?

    Is a Whopper or Big Mac better without the brea or the meat?

    Is a MP3 player better without the ability to generate audio?

    He used to be, Stoudemire isn't even a top five big man in the Eastern conference.
