With harden on this team, no hope to win a championship

LOL

Harden needs to show that he is one of the franchise players and not run away from the responsibility, any responsibilities on and off the court.

Franchise player is a responsibility not only a status. So far he has not showed it yet. I think Parsons deserves it more, just saying

 

Paul Gorge was ys highly touted. Mosty people knew he'll endup being an allstar but probably not a superstar so quickly, but everyone knew he with the combination of his size and skillset he would be special. The only knock was his perimeter shooting but that's a non-issue now.

He was allways with star talent just needed time. Lin and Parsons don't have star talent on a contender.

 

Have you seen every thread here bashing harden or game threads? Harden is getting roasted

 

Learn how to read. I said Elite taent. TALENT.

 

the thunder had it right by making harden the 6th man. harden excels with the ball in his hands and with pick-n-roll/isos. but I am having a hard time seeing how he makes teammates better.

without harden, parsons played well enough that the rockets traded budinger. lin played with the likes of fields, novak, shumpert - role players - and brought the knicks into the playoffs before getting injured (and Carmelo coming back). howard was defensive mvp for Orlando and franchise guy. these players made their mark without howard and they are the ones having to take a step back because harden can't play any other way?

 

fixed - not enough posts to be able to edit my own freaking posts...

 

Yep lets bench or best players so role players like lin can become the franchise. Great move. Idiot, last time I checked Parsons played well with Harden in the Spurs, Nets, Denver, Portland and Toronto games. I know you are a LOF, but for Christ sake, calm down.

 

Lets not forget Harden and Parsons were doing pretty well against the OKC in the playoffs, but the hell wuth the facts.

 

so you were a YOF and have now converted to LOF

at least dont blatantly say it

 

Guy wants Harden to make some changes. Like play defense and not isohog.

what you are implying is that harden is our "the man" so he is beyond reproach.

and just so you know. Lin is a much better playmaker than Harden. It's the coaching staff and Harden that is keeping him from 20/10 a night. Oh and bev shouldn't start. And Lin should shoot more.

 

lin as the franchise player will never lead a team to a chip. never.

 

I HATE people who start liking a team because of one player and then CONTINUE TO LIKE THAT TEAM FOR OVER A DECADE. Even for years after the guy retired. I mean effing christ. Real fans please.

I met some Nigerians once who only started liking the Rockets because of ONE guy. Hell they only started watching bball because of that one guy and didn't even know who Sam Houston was. Made me sick to my stomach.

 

Would have led the knicks to a chip if melo stayed hurt.

 

Lin is a much better playmaker? MUCH BETTER? are you for real.Heck I could even agree with them being on par, but much better?. And the coaching staff is not allowing Lin to be a 20-10 like Chris Paul? Get off the crack.

 

BOY, oh by. LOOOL. I'm just going stop right there.

 

He would def be 20/10. Probably more like 25/10 if he got 36 minutes a game like Harden and was actually allowed to dribble the ball.

 

Probably 2 rings and an MVP by now. Haters gotta hate.

 

lin has 1 major issue and that is his TO problems, that's why he isnt handling the ball every play. lin wont become good if he doesnt fix his ball handling/careless passes issues. but lin is a better playmaker imo

 

HAHAHA the good ol' Harden is keeping Jeremy from reaching his all-time great status! Good one!

 

You like that one better than the McHale one? I could go with that too. But since Harden is struggling right, better to hit where it hurts.
