    Just the fact you said Harden did not make his teammates better shows how clueless you are and the level LOF's will stoop to propup lin at any ciost.

    Now this is hilarious. bashing Harden? Did you read what i've been saying? I've already said that Harden is probably a better player than all the rockets except Howard. Harden is a monster of an offensive threat. He is more efficient than almost every player in the NBA in scoring except Lebron and Durant.

    But even roses have their thorns. Even beatiful women have their blemishes.. which is what you Harden lovers seem to forget.

    1. Defensively, Harden went AWOL several times last year. He wasn't exactly follwoing rotations and being an intense defensive stopper like he needs to be for the rockets to succeed.

    2. Harden also needs to turn over the ball less. Though we rockets fans can give him slack since he does create offense at unusually high rates.

    3. Harden's passing is not elite like LeBron or even Kobe quite yet. When Harden becomes a terrific passer, everybody will notice.

    What i've writen is balanced and un-biased. TO say that I'm tearing Harden down is quite ridiculous based on the praise that I do give James

    Nope you are not fooling anyone. You stated Harden did not make anyone better. You're nonsense is exposed.

    Sure, whatever dude. I'm a LOF because I said that Harden doesn't make his team-mates better like Parsons, Asik and Lin could? that's bordering psychopathic delusional realm of fantasies that you are placing Harden.

    I think you need some mental help because you can not see reality for what it is. Mental hospital would be more apropos. Really I'm laughing at your delusional tendancies. I'm a harden hater?? i'm even laughing more at you. get some help and get back to me son when you get your head straight. I'm still laughing at you dude.

    Sad thing is that you're the troll that needs to respond because you personally feel offended by an opinion that is pretty balanced.

    The sad thing is that you have an agenda to smear Lin and I know you do. You flat out don't like the kid. So coming from your answers, it is very predictable what your answers will become when I write. In the future, i have no doubt you will have an anti-Lin bias to every post to the end of Lin's tenure as a Rocket.

    Sad thing is that it's true my opinions are more balanced than yours. Since I give plenty of praise to all players. And can give Pros and Cons to each player on the rockets. You seem to have a deficiency at that ability to give pros and cons.

    here is to back it up:

    I've already said that Harden is probably a better player than all the rockets except Howard. Harden is a monster of an offensive threat. He is more efficient than almost every player in the NBA in scoring except Lebron and Durant.

    But even roses have their thorns. Even beatiful women have their blemishes.. which is what you Harden lovers seem to forget.

    So where is the unbalanced opinion. I already praise Harden as a great NBA player. That must mean I'm a hater.. gawd geeze logic fail.

    You should reread my thread http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=242081&highlight=jeremy and my comments here. I believe that I present an unbiased opinion about the Rockets. It may be my opinion, but few will find major faults in my posts. Conceptually you can divide the Rockets into tiers as to how much they will contribute to a championship:

    Tier 1: Harden and Howard. Superstar top 10 players in the NBA.
    Tier 2: Asik and Parsons. Great contributing top 10 players at their positions. I really thought about moving Parsons to Tier 1a because of his contributions off the court. Off the court Parsons is a top 5 player in the league. I just do not know how to evaluate it.
    Tier 3: Lin. Potentially the most improved player on the team next season. I expect that he will be fully integrated into a vital support role for Harden and Howard. Don't disappoint me Jeramy.
    Tier 3a: Bev. Has the makings of a great 6th man next to Asik.
    Tier 4: The power forwards and players like Garcia. Good supporting cast.
    Tier 5: Canaan and the rest of the end of the bench players.

    We need an entirely new forum called "LOF v. LOH" This is getting ridiculous. Can't even read the GARM without sifting through thousands of debates pertaining to an average NBA point guard. He's an alright professional basketball player and seems to be a good dude. No reason to dislike him. Most of the animosity towards Lin is a direct result of the unrealistic expectations and bias of the LOFs.

    I hate it for you true Rockets fans with 2013 join dates. Like it or not, you'll always have to rebut the presumption of being a LOF.

    I'm not sure Harden really made his teammates better either. Those guys are rare and Lebron is probably the one ever who also averaged 25+ points. A lot of scorers make their teammates worse. Harden ain't one of those at least.

    Smh.

    Do you really have to reason with Spiegel, he is a known LOH.
    Whoever praises Lin, he will call him LOF.
    Whoever criticizes Harden, he will call him LOF.

    I don't think either is completely off the table, but any trade definitely includes both. Whether a 3rd team gets involved, iono. LMA makes perfect sense for both teams. If its true Aldridge wants out, if I were building a team, Lillard, Lin, Batum, Robinson, Asik isn't bad to build around.

    Lol it will be a mmorg battle map. Like world of Warcraft.

    But actually the harden question is interesting. Has his style of play changed after he moved from thunder to the rockets?

    This is true. No respectable poster that's been on the forum for more than 1 year cares about what Spiegal says, tbh. He's just catering to the lowest common denominator.

    I don't think Lin will be traded because there are few teams needing one. Possible destinations would be Orlando (Jameer Nelson), Detroit (Brandon Knight), Lakers (Steve Nash), and Philly who is starting a rookie and has no backup.

    The other possibility would be an starting PG injury on a playoff contender.

    Lin will be here until his and Parson's end in 2 more season. Reason being is, if Harden gone down, Lin can step up and direct the offense. Bev cannot do it. He will foul out before half time. Look what happened to OKC when Westbrook when down, they have no one to direct the offense. Durant was assigned as the point.

    Unless there is a major upgrade, Lin will be here. Or someone who can do what Lin does for less, but I doubt it you can get a combo guard with Lin's stat for less than 8m/years.
