Motiejunas: Dwight Howard and James Harden eat separately from rest of Rockets

This guy is like a freaking gossiping housewife, why does he keep talking?

 

I'm calling BS. Check these dudes IG. Always taking pics with TJ, Bev, etc. They even had pics with JORDAN HAMILTON!!

 

Why the **** would you twitter this.

 

That's all staged. Right after the pictures are taken, Harden yells at everyone while Howard looks on with approval. Then H&H go eat fast food and/or Cheesecake Factory.

 

Maybe what Harden really meant was, "Me and Dwight are the cornerstones. The rest of the team are just pieces on our plates we eat at lunch."

 

D-Mo needs to the STFU and know is "role" and keep that in house.

That being said I can totally see that being true...Rockets aren't winning a championship with Dawhite and Haren and your main guys...they have all world talent but they don't have the "it" factor when it comes to being a leader and getting the best out of the "role players"...Jordan never did it alone Kobe never did it alone, Dream never did it alone Russell never did it alone Dirk didn't do it alone Duncan didn't do it alone Lebron didn't do it alone...all these guys had "role players" that wanted to play their hearts out for them

 

Not DMo's tweet.

 

TJ, Bev, Hamilton... I am sensing a pattern here.

 

Honestly this just isn't true. We have seen countless videos and pictures of the roster enjoying each other. How many pictures of each other sleeping on the plane have we seen over the last couple of years? This is getting out of hand. It's very apparent that the media's agenda is to attack us. DMo has been known to say rather illogical stuff, but I don't believe he said that. I'm sure it's overblown by the reporter.

If DMo really did say that, then he is delusional. He wants to be a star on the team, and so he has an inferiority complex, in which everything the true stars (Harden and Howard) do and say seems horrible. On top of that, he probably focuses more on the times that they didn't eat together than the times they did, which I'm pretty sure completely weighs out the former.

And as far as PT goes, we just traded Asik away, D-Mo is going to be the first big off the bench, hence an increase in PT. If he feels that he should be starting, then he should have played better than TJones who looked a hella lot better than DMo did around the time of that decision. DMo needs to get focused, get strong, and be a better rebounder and defender. Maybe then he can get the nod over Jones. I think he let the Summer League get to his head.

He, along with the rest of the media, need to quit b****ing and focus on being better versions of themselves.

 

i have no problem with 'posturing' our best players as an elite group. it sends a message to the rest of the players on the team that they haven't earned that status yet.

wanna eat with howard and harden? perform at as high of a level as they do and you may get invited.

 

Butt hurt over playing time. That's all it is

 

I agree in that Harden and Howard don't seem like veteran leaders, but we know for a fact that they are very charismatic and friendly. We have always seen smiles on laughs on the bench, on Instragram, twitter, etc. Either this reporter totally overblew what D-Mo was saying or D-Mo is still bitter about TJones starting.

 

Even if this was true... lots of respected star players don't hang out with the team. Tim Duncan is known for not really being social with his teammates. In fact, nobody on the Spurs really seem like they are always in each other's company.

 

I don't agree. Doing that only separates the team into stars and role players. The two groups should not be separated. They need to understand each other and know each other better in order to move forward on the court. When players separate into groups like that, you start to have disgruntled players, who may not want to pass to others. Not a good idea.

 

It must be July....the media have nothing to talk about anymore <enter DMo>


Somebody needs to send that reporter this picture to show how much team-spirit this team has

 

Dmo was probably speaking on his relationship with harden and howard, and I can see it being a hi and bye type as Dmo doesn't seem to be the type harden or howard would hang out with regularly.

Players have said before not everyone in the lockeroom are exactly close friends. Shoot with the big 3 in Miami u could tell bosh mostly did his own thing while lebron and wade we're pretty close.

 

Role player needs to know his role.

 

This is the dumbest thing I have ever read. Y'all are idiots if y'all really think that all 12-15 players on the team hang out together every day.

 

I like the part where he says JLin is a good guy.

That's all religion is, to be cool and nice to each other.

As for Howard and Harden, I hope that having superstar status doesn't get to their heads. They still need to actually win something.
