    Btw, it seems like parsons was the reason for the locker room issues during the playoffs last year.

    Harden and Howard both made basically the same comments, Parsons took issue with both whil Lin said he agrees.

    Was parsons trying to be to much of a "star" last year and piss off his teammates? That's kind of what it seems like.

    CP has shown himself to be an arrogant little boy, and not that great of a team guy. He's been all about him for awhile now.

    What matters about this twitter beef is not who is right and who is wrong between Parsons and Harden. The internet is not going to decide who wins the argument.

    What matters is whether this helps or hurts the Rockets. On one hand, if beef with the departed Parsons motivates Harden to improve-- starting with actually trying on defense, then it's a good thing. But to the extent that it furthers any impression that Harden is not a guy you want to work with, then it's not helpful with the Rockets recruiting players in free agency.

    He's already maxed out. The only way he can score more is volume shooting. In the 5 years in the league Harden has never added anything in his offensive repertoire. It's been stepback jumpers, drive & FTs since his rookie year. He doesn't have a runner, hook shot, or turn around fades. This fraud also don't have a post game. He gets the ball from the post a lot but don't have a single post move to follow with.

    That's why Harden improving on defense will always be a pipe dream.

    Lol right he can't do anything out of the post. That's why we ran this play every single game last season.

    The eurostep and stepback jumper came along as he developed. The stepback jumper really only became prominent this year. He's 24 years old. The hate Harden, our franchise player, gets on this forum is insane.

    His brother compared Harden to Parsons???? Harden won 6th man of year, coming off the bench. Parsons was a starter already, no awards, just big ego.

    They are just adding fuel to the fire. Love it! Let's keep that fire a burning Rockets! Rocket Fuel!

    Harden was on the olympic team, Parsons was added as camp bait for the world championships....I don't think there is much doubt there was a huge chasm between the two players at the same point.

    I also don't think Bill Simmons will write 174503762024 articles about how letting Parsons go was the worst decision of the last 20 years.
