    LOL kinda funny how "it's personal" for y'all, while the Rockets fans really couldn't care less about the Thunder other than the fact that they gift wrapped us one of the best players in the league. Thanks, Grape!

    2nd* best player. He is better than Westbrook Offensively, and when he does give effort, defensively. Plus he gets big booty hoes.

    Actually, Harden is the 2nd or 3rd best player on the Rockets. Howard is the best. 2nd best and 3rd best is between Asik and Harden.

    According to a lot of popular polls coming into the season, they have Harden ranked over Westbrook.

    OkC could probably have traded Westbrook for Howard and kept Harden. Durant, Howard and Harden would win championship easily.

    Instead, all you guys have is Durant, Westbrook and...... Jeremy Lamb and Steven Adams?

    I guess winning regular season and playoff games are nice and all, but fans won't be too happy when Durant heads for Houston and Westbrook leaves to some other place.

    Don't forget about Ibaka


    Reggie Jackson
    James Harden
    Kevin Durant
    Serge Ibaka
    Dwight Howard

    Good lord...

    Howard
    a) destroys team chemistry
    b) is a coach killer
    c) not worth 20+ mill at this stage in his career

    WB 2013 TS%: 0.53%
    JH 2013 TS%: 0.60%

    Keep in mind JH was the only star of his team last year and was always the center of the opponent defense while WB keeps riding KD's coattails. There's a reason people call him WestBrick :rolleyes:

    This season WB actually regressed to 0.500% TS while Harden still maintain his TS despite some games where he had bruised feet and shot horribly. Plus, there's also the fact that good Pgs are a dime a dozen, while legit SGs are hard to find. Speaking of SGs, let's all be real and admit Harden si a much better PG than WB can ever be, while WB would get slaughtered at the SG spot since he will be guarded by taller players like Thabo/Courtney Lee instead of creampuffs like Steph Curry.

    I can't wait till KD gets enough of WB's ball hog tendencies and leaves him to go to Houston and play with his best bud James Harden.

    Howard's still better value than WB who makes just as much though.

    Ive seen the polls and so has Westbrook. He takes stuff like that personally. Should be fun when they match up:grin: (Yes Clutchfans, Russ WILL matchup with Harden when Reggie is in the game)

    Harden is nice, and I'm elated that he's a Rocket. I'm a huge fan. But I'm not sure where all this Westbrook hate is coming from. He is a a PROVEN big time player and superstar. Some of y'all are delusional. If you have to choose between Harden and Westbrook you'd come out a winner either way.
