Sources: Some issues between Harden and Howard (don't hang out anymore)

Everyone in the picture is goner.....except for Howard

CP25, Jeremy, Ronny Brewer and Greg Gummybear Smith

 

If that is the case that is just stupid!!! Has Harden had games where he wasn't great defensively, SURE!!! But he has been pretty decent, at times even above average defensively!!! Also Harden isn't the only one who has had bad games on the defensive end!!! Furthermore Harden needs to carry this team offensively, by creating for others and himself. If he has an off night, more often than not, this team will go nowhere!!! Look at Game 3!!

 

So this is where McHale gets them into a room and makes them shake hands and be friends again right?


If true, this is childish. They seriously need to make up with one another. Go on a camping trip, it'll do you some good.

 

Have you been around the Rockets players when they have made these comments? And who are they making fun of?

We these issues hurting the team when they came back from 3-1 and when they almost won 2 games at GS?

I'm guessing the comment "They just keep feeling he is soft and plays with no love or desire." is about Dwight. If you have watched the playoffs then it's pretty obvious Dwight is playing with love and desire. And have you ever looked at Dwight's physique? He didn't get that ripped from being lazy and having no desire. Did you hear these comments directly from Rockets players?

Half the team is married with kids and I think Bev just got engaged. Dwight is all jesusy and knocking chicks up. Harden likes to hang out at strip clubs. I don't think they are all going to be hanging out together. I'm sure you don't hang out with everyone at your job.

I know you have connections, but you have to have some sort of filter for this stuff.

 

y'all gotta stop being mean to cyber dude is legit as they come. no one wants to hear about the team having issues right now but it's pretty clear that among the team it isn't all hunky-dory.
setting aside obvious questions that we as die-hard fans tend to get into over and over again about maturity, etc, isn't it kinda hard for the team to say dwight doesn't play with heart? it's kinda disappointing to me honestly. dwight may get some dumb fouls or pick up a tech but he's been a beast this post-season. one thing to not be his best friend or even clown on him a little, but legit disappointing to hear if they don't think he plays with heart. makes me wonder what else is going on. even the other night, josh looked disinterested from dwight telling him you don't get a lot of chances to be on this stage. it was odd.

 

Harden has been lazier than Dwight, if you really want to find a scapegoat... I do not need Cyberx to realize that....

Both are talented players

 

I'd like to know specific names here....

Smith cant be one of the guys talking about Dwight.

I really doubt Terry amd Prigs are into that high school stuff.

I feel like Mcdaniels, Johnson, Capela, and Papa just follow whomever, period. Jones, too.

Trevor, is supposed to be cool with both because hes got history with them.

So Pat, Dmo, Dorsey, and Brewer are left. But these are probably the most social within the group....doesn't seem like something they would do.


So maybe it's just Harden talking around the youngn's and they crack jokes to be cool with Harden.

 

Come on, everyone is stressed... On paper we got more renowned household names than GSW and even the Clippers

Does not mean we are better, the coaching, the system, the chemistry... we are one year away from the grand prize

I can imagine the players being stressed out, it is has been one intense playoffs.

Going through all the blowouts, low energy and effort level

I can imagine those players getting a coffee together, practice together in the offseason.... to balance things out

The players have given it all, some more some less....Harden is not the best leader but he had some good outings just is not as mature of a leader as Kevin Durant is.

Remember when Dwight arrived in Houston, he immediately reached out to Bev, Harden and others....

 

This always comes up as the things look to be ending... They don't have to hang out, just have to play well together, which they generally do.

 

This is bull****, why would anyone on the team question Howard's effort? Maybe in LA they questioned his love for the game or effort, but didn't Dwight just play in game 2 despite feeling pain? Wasn't he the only one giving his all in game 3? If that is true then I say: **** the team! And what's with the post about laughing at him during dinners, are they 12? Cyberx, you are pissing me off with this highschool gossip and Clutch, please delete this because it does not make sense and it seems LA fanboy just wants to start something...if you have real info then spill it, like Clutch girl said, it's like you love posting vague stuff and let people stew.

 

Interesting to see how people always praise Cyberx when it's good news, but go full apesh** and personal when his info is not to their liking.

I get that ya don't want to hear bad news about the team, but you should know his info and sources are solid. Cursing and taking shots at Cyber doesn't change the truth.

 

Lets presume I believe him blindly. Without questioning any of his sources. (Hypothetically)

What he says is so vague that it might be true and not.

In every locker room there are different opinions.....we all know that.

Howard is the veteran guy here and has more NBA experience then Harden.

It is in Harden's best interest to listen to the big guy. He can however voice his opinion.

IMHO what holding us back is that we have a smart GM who still makes mistakes, a Coach that makes mistakes, an owner whose priority is making money, winning championship comes second.

And people who do not believe in vying for the Top 5 draft position anymore

 

My guess.. Probably upset Dwight doesn't put up superstar offensive numbers consistently. Sad, but great defense + solid O tend to get ignored when you're losing. Max contract player..

 

Is any current player on this team laughing right now?

 

I just read through all of this thread.
Isn't it funny that when Cyber posts info about a trade everyone is licking his balls and begs for info but when they dont' like what he posts the attacks begin?? Accusing him of malicious intentions and of lies?
Talk about ingratitude and real short memories.
Well guess what. Not everyone that goes on behind the scenes is roses!

 

He's being vague and not giving us anything that a fake gossip hollywood reporter wouldn't give you in a tweet. People ARE asking for more info, he's just not giving it.

 

Like in his other posts when he talks about possible trades he's being vague. But then you worship him and rep him. Hypocricy much?

 

I do not know about PJ86 but it is only my second or third time that I clicked into a Cyberx thread. So yeah without counting in this thread.

So there was no time for reps on my part.

 

Not the same at all. Regarding trades, I understand he cannot say too much and it's pretty clear which players are involved. Here he's purposely vague with the he and they, supposedly having dinner without Dwight and making fun of him..come on now.

 

I really dont care weather its true or not like many posters have said, nobody in this world clicks with everyone they work with...
We are one game from elimination what would cause cyberx to post something like this and get these posters and fans confused right now??
What is his agenda, i mean there is no sensible reason to post it period.
Is he giving us an excuse for perhaps getting swept?? We watch the games the excuse isnt harden or dwight they have both been nothing short of phenomenal this postseason, ariza also has been amazing dont want to sell him short.

So while i dont doubt cyberx's sources because he is proven, i have to think there is something fishy behind this thread...either that or he enjoys riling up fans vs eachother when we should be supporting and encouraging these players for a great season win or lose tonight
