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

This langal guy is hilarious. I don't even think most folks realize that he's just trolling for fun.

Well done sir.

 

What a load of crap, you said he is limiting their potential, but Some of Parsons best games have been with James so how does that limit his potential?. Are you saying Parsons needs to be the sole ball handler? or run the offense through him? BTW, he dosent have the ball all the damn time. Stop exaggerating. The Spurs game for example and the Denver game the Ball was moving and everyone got a crack.

 

I meant moreso that every fan thinks there has to be a "Jordan" on their team who can "put the team on his back". Even MJ learned to involve his teammates especially in the first half.

 

Duncan parker ginobili are better than Lin Parsons Dwight but they are older yet the spurs are always doing well because they play together in pops system. It's not just the talent of the players. Never said I don't want harden. I wanf harden to learn when to take over and when to be the playmaker and when to let his teammate play. Right now harden wants to be focus all the time. LeBron was chastised for not wanting to take last shot. Was he reluctant or he was being the team player and making the extra pass? Something harden needs to think about.

 

And the fat of Parsons best games come from others like Lin getting him the ball in transition or open shots or do you ignore or the pretty passes Lin etal have made to Parsons? Open your eyes. Is harden the only freaking player who can pass the ball to Howard or Parsons?

 

Olajuwon use to punch other players in the face during games...Lol. And many people around Houston crapped all over him when he was young just like they are doing Harden...

 

I agree but there needs to be a player that makes the defense thinks he will carry the team or take the last shot. Houston has too many good players for one player to try to carry the team. With harden out Houston still good. With Lin out Houston still good. Houston won like 47 games last year without howRd. So with harden he needs to know when to carry the team and when to pet his teammates excel. Case in point cp3. He is being criticized cor not putting the team on bis back because he is trying to get everyone involved in offense. Knowing when to take over is the key for "the man".

 

He did once he got better teammates. Remember they drafted Pippen and Pippen was raised under Jordan... All of these guys where thrown together (doesn't look like they like each other) and they aren't veteran star players like in Miami so you can't expect the same results. Jordan also had big men with some semblance of a post game. And he also had great head coaching with Doug and Phil and he was also in a great offense system that Tex designed.

I actually think Harden trust his teammates... If he didn't he would be averaging over 20 plus shots a game... He doesn't take a lot of shots for a shooting guard with a green light.

 

Pay close attention to what you said... You do realize we have McHale and not Pop... And the Rockets don't have a controlled system like the Spurs run... Manu and Parker also grew up under Duncan.. Those guys are like family. Spent years with each other.

 

I know you are obsessed with Lin, but you said Harden limits, Parsons and that is a flatout lie by you. The fact is you SAID Harden limits the team, but if you go by facts, he probably gets the ball the most out of everyone on the team to HOWARD AND PARSONS. I never said LIN LIMITS ANYONE, so don't bring him into it. You said Harden is the one who limits those two and that's a flatout lie.

 

I like Harden, but the guy cant even carry Olajuwon's jockstraps interms of big game performances and natural sheer skill.

 

If you value your sanity, you'll come here sparingly man. It's a huge burden to actively moderate and facilitate conversations with regards to sports fandom. Not to mention such a diverse group of fans representing a diverse city. Here's to a triumphant win tomorrow?

 

Not many can Buddy... Lol.. Just the same _ Houston fans crapped on him too.. That's how you people do.

 

Hell maybe the Heat should get the ball out of LBJ's hands so the role players can pad their stats? The fact is star players will get the lion share of the ball.

 

Guys can we all admit on this ? Harden is bb god, but lol in 4th he does get nervous, his mental toughness needs work.

 

Like in San Antonio and NY where he carried us in the 4th?. His problem is lacksidasical defense which often out does his elite offense production. If he could become even an average defender the guy would be a top 4 player.

 

Threads like this is why they say people in the south are slow... You people showed up on Kirby year after year being patient with Carr and Schaub _ but hardly over a year with a young basketball player and you want to throw the baby out and keep the bathwater...

 

LOFs and HOFs duke it out in this thread...lmao.
