Harden: "Dwight and I are the cornerstones of the Rockets. The rest of the guys are role players..."

fixed

 

Why are you even here?

 

i find it funny those people on tweeter always trying to instigate. Like kids in elementary school, i heard he said ___________about your momma. whatcha gonna do?

 

I don't think I saw Kevin Love in the playoffs. Which seed were the Timberwolves again?

 

When he says Lab Rat, he is basically saying Gym Rat, so he must be in the gym...

 

James Harden is the man. Still growing as a person and a player, but for such a young guy he is heading in the right direction, and he has a great head on his shoulders. We are so freaking lucky to be Houston Rocket fans.

I have no problem with him speaking the truth, but I'm old school. I like the Kobe mentality, the killer mentality.

 

He's telling the truth

 

NO NO NO NO!

James Harden hurts DMO's feelings, and Jeff Adrien's feelings and obviously CRUSHED Chandler Parsons.

Highly unprofessional by fat greedy troll monkey James Haren.

Tom Ziller: James Harden is right about Chandler Parsons

 

And this one sentence pwns anything VanGundier says about Harden. Love has a solid track record of never making it to the playoffs. SMH.

Love = fool's gold. /DD

 

Good Read

+1

 

pass. ziller has been click baiting too much on the rockets lately.

 

This is a valid question. I know he lives in NY. Is Carl really a Rockets fan?

 

Have left the building: LOFs. Currently on stage: HOFs.

 

Love was burdened with badly constructed teams, David Kahn, Rambis and Adelman. He has transformed his body and is not the defensive liability that Harden is.

Harden had "cornerstone" Dwight Howard and still couldn't get out of the 1st round.

 

From that article:

On the Rockets, Parsons really was a glorified role player. He was basically a mid-rung scorer/shooter and secondary playmaker, equivalent to the Houston version of Kevin Martin, but with less scoring/driving ability and more passing. Neither played defense well. Parsons' size is often lauded, but he doesn't actually do anything with it other than shoot over defenders. He's a poor rebounder at small forward despite being 6'9, and he's nearly as bad a defender as Harden. One assumes Rick Carlisle will work hard to fix that; there's little doubt that playing alongside a turnstile superstar in Harden set Parsons back a bit. (That said, Dallas' defense was poor last season, and Parsons' new running mate Monta Ellis isn't exactly the second coming of Dennis Johnson out there.)

Parsons is an elite shooter? No, not really. Some 56 players have played at least 2,000 minutes over the past two seasons while averaging at least four three-point attempts per game. Among them, Parsons ranks No. 25 in three-point percentage. That places him behind a litany of stars and also O.J. Mayo, C.J. Miles, Jodie Meeks and Parsons' own cheaper Rockets replacement, Trevor Ariza.

Parsons is a great scorer? He ranked No. 43 in points per game last season, which is great for a third banana. More importantly for a supplemental scorer, among the 58 players who averaged at least 15 points per game, he finished No. 22 in True Shooting percentage, behind guys like Gerald Green, Isaiah Thomas and Meeks. With Harden and one of the league's better scoring big men, the Rockets didn't need points at all costs from their third banana. They needed efficient points. Parsons was basically as efficient as Nick Young last year. Nick Young.

But those are coulds, future opportunities. He's not there right now. Right now he's closer to being a big Jodie Meeks, who stunned the world by getting so much as $19 million over three years. Parsons will be making more than double that. And he's grousing about not getting proper credit from his old teammates?

There are free agents who have had a right to feel disrespected this offseason, like Isaiah Thomas, Eric Bledsoe and Lance Stephenson. All three are more productive than Parsons, and two of them (I.T. and Lance) are sure to be making much less than him next season. (Bledsoe's situation remains unresolved, but the Suns' reported offer is for less per year than what Parsons will make.) At this point, Parsons might want to put Harden and Howard on mute and set about changing reality by making himself into a star.

OUCH
