    I laugh so ****ing hard at this because 2 years ago Lebron couldn't hit a jumper to save his life.

    You need more ammo in your water gun.

    That idiot is a condescending ******* who think he knows what he's talking about. Just put him on ignore. Arguing won't work with that troll.

    I'm very glad we got Harden, but right now he's got way too much Kobe in his game. Even when he scores with his 1 on 1 hero ball, he's taking every other Rocket on the floor out of their game. We win when the ball moves. And I just don't know how to explain why he holds the ball so long before he makes his move at the end of quarters. He's been doing that all year and it leaves him no options if his first move doesn't work.

    I heard this morning on 790 that apparently McHale has told Harden to stop taking the end of shot clock 3 and instead drive to the basket and he just won't do it.

    The real person to blame here is Aaron Brooks!

    did you see the last play in the 4th that would've cost the team the game and the ball just not bounced to the right people and Parsons hit the ugliest 3 you'll ever see??
    If you take every last second shot you'll hit a couple...but I cant recall many games where he just poured it on and scored the final 12 points or whatever to lead the team to victory.

    Sounds like the player doesn't respond to the coach. Find a new coach.

    lol not true....look it up James Harden this year is hitting 34.7% of his jump shots.
    http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/h/hardeja01/shooting/2013/

    2 years ago LeBron

    and freaking Klay THompson who people consider some dead-eye shooter hit 38.8% of his jumpers....2 years ago LeBron shot 40.3% on jumpers...numbers don't lie...here we have another case of somebody who goes off public perception and opinion rather than facts and their own perspective

    You do realize he has a 37 inch vertical right? Much better than most people in the draft. But I agree with the Lebron comment

    A coach that knows what he is doing will make this team more productive. There is no way you can have the talent we presently have on this team and not be more consistent. I know the past is over but I wonder what Adelman could have done with this team. Making the point again as it has been said before Harden is not close to being the problem with this team.

    Harden gets fouled a lot, shot attempts on fouls get counted too so that is not his true shooting percentage. Most of them are fakes to get the person to commit and are counted as shot attempts, thats how he gets to the line.

    I love Harden being on the rockets. I think he is an ideal piece to build around.

    But I lived through Dribblemania. I'm seeing some reoccurrence of that with Harden. That needs to be nipped in the bud now.

    (For folks that don't know what Dribblemania is, please look up old Steve Francis highlights where he eats up a ton of shot clock holding the ball or dribbling in place while trying to decide what to do.)

    Holy. That is just awful. These guys have tuned McHale out.
