    No...it's because I don't have Estrogen in me and things like this shouldn't bother grown men.

    Role players 99% of the time sign for the most money because it is a JOB! They know what they are and what they can and cannot do. You don't give them enough credit.

    That's another assumption on your part. LOL! Aren't we making too much assumption now? :grin: My point is, we don't know what's really going on inside the Rockets players' mind. There's no reason to assume anything.

    Man we have a lot of titty babies in this forum. Him and Dwight are the cornerstones. Dwight came out and said the same thing the other day when he was asked if missing Parsons would affect them. What are they supposed to say? The season is over because Parsons left? Every job has a hierarchy. He didnt say his teammates were useless...he said it was his and Dwight's team. If we lose a playoff series is anybody gonna blame Beverley, Jones, Ariza, or D Mo? I never heard Dwight or Harden come out and blame their teammates for losing. If that happens then I will believe all this crap im reading in this thread. I dont think Beverley is gonna play worse defense or D mo not grab a rebound because Harden called them "pieces" to the team. All of you are "pieces" at your job too and I dare you to not work hard because of it.

    "Dwight (Howard) and I are the cornerstones of the Rockets,” said Harden. “The rest of the guys are role players or pieces that complete our team. We’ve lost some pieces and added some pieces. I think we’ll be fine next season.”

    He never added the word "just". Shame on the thread starter for misrepresenting the quote and shame on the softies who got butt hurt and they did not even read the correct quote for themselves.

    I could've sworn that's how he said it at first.

    What about your ol' pal Kevin Love? He's the cornerstone of a team that couldn't even make it to the first round once in the 6 years he's been there.

    Harden is on the same page as Howard

    H and H will lead H Town to the promise land.

    This is why the Spurs are much more successful than we are.

    Harden's right. But he forgot to mention that McHale is the anchor weighing down the team.

    It isn't the plethora of luck, amazing coaching, the limited set of injuries or anything else they have been graced with? Its purely attitude, right... It's attitude that ended Yao's career early too.

    Has Kevin Love talked about how he's the cornerstone of the franchise and Pek, Rubio, Martin, Dieng, etc. are role players and pieces that complete the team?

    (Actually, the Wolves probably would prefer this to "Please trade me.")

    ...
    90% of the league is filled with role players…..each team has 1 to 2 stars on the team, the rest are ROLE PLAYERS.
