ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Celtics 12/28/2017

Unfortunately, he IS who he IS.
It's like saying, "I don't like that a cheetah has spots. I wish he had none, like a lion"
Well, a cheetah DOES have spots and they're not likely to go away soon.
BUT, the cheetah is also the fastest land animal. So there's THAT.
He can chase and take down gazelles. Not even a lion can do that. They each have their strengths and weaknesses.
And I don't see the Cavs winning all of their games with LeBron at the helm. Can't do it all

But even when we are winning, some of these posters are here to ONLY complain about Harden.
Let's face it. The Rockets would be irrelevant today without him. It's time they admit that or take their whining elsewhere

 

Strangely .. . what Harden should have done was. . . . FLOP!
Harden flops. . . and we probably win this game

Rocket River

 

I don't understand why there is not an 'alternate' available for each game.
ESPECIALLY WHEN TONY BROTHERS IS HALF OF YOUR OFFICIATING STAFF. LOL
Seems unusual for a professional league.

 

Wtf is wrong with you ? I mean you post with a 100 alternate accounts reply and like you’re own posts so you are the one with a mental illness brewer goat.”, cheke, sir ivy, rocketeer , hardens beard and whatever ids you use

 

Watched the first offensive foul against Jimmy...it is LAUGHABLE ! Tony Brothers should not be allowed to officiate a Rocket's game...he has more twilight zone calls against us than any other ref...he doesn't call what he SEES but what he WANTS.

 

None of this would’ve happened if Black grabbed Kyrie and body slammed him to the ground on a drive, them looked at the official and says, “Now that’s a f***ing foul”

Or if Harden throws a forearm into Smart’s throat or nose, to send a message to the officials that we don’t take crap.

Boston’s coach took a tech for the team, where were the chairs tossed into court by MDA???

 

Eh, Harden isn't perfect.

People are going to say "Harden can't win a championship on his own! He can't carry the team to a championship."

Well duh, Hakeem is the only one to do that. Even Lebron and KD need help.

Duh Harden needs another superstar to cover his faults...oh...and btw...CP3 has faults too.

If Harden was the one out we'd be seeing them.

 

The rockets gave up all the depth they had to get Paul. If we had last years depth tonight no way we would have lost. It’s not just cp being out, we are also missing pretty much majority of our depth. To be up 26 with the likes of black and Weber coming off the bench was a damn good feat In itself. If we had any help off the bench we would have won.

 

It would get the media attention it deserves.

 

Harden probably has the most holes or weaknesses in his game than any other superstars in this league.

It's not just that Harden has his flaws. No, Harden has way too many flaws as a player of his caliber. That's the fookin' problem.

If Harden can't correct his problems, then maybe it's time to step down and hand over the keys.

 

"No, Harden has way too many flaws as a player of his caliber."

This statement makes no sense.

Either he's a player that is elite or he isn't. If he had so many flaws then he wouldn't be an elite player lol.

 

You don't make that call - EVER...Smart Flopped, you let it go......he floppped...you can't reward cheating.

DD

 

It makes sense because Harden has made a career out of drawing cheap fouls, which greatly boosts his overall statline and impact on the game, except when it matters the most.

Why do you think this meltdown late in games keep happening over and over again? Because without the whistles, Harden's ability to just knock down shots is not as great as some other true superstars. He's still pretty good, but probably more close to Lillard tier than Durant.

 

The Rockets have the 2nd best record in the NBA and Harden right now is a top 3 player in the NBA. Please stop.

 

Don’t waste ur time with this mentally ill moron

 

LMAO, barely top 3 on his own team alongside CP3 and Capella, with CP3 being better.

 

Out Smarted

 

Lulz, I agree.

Let's trade Harden and build around Capela!

 

Complaining that Harden "blew the game" would be like complaining that your unemployment check was a dollar short. Gee, maybe don't bite the hand that feeds you?

Harden is the only reason we were in a position to win that game with his 60-something points scored/assisted.

 

^ save yourself some sanity and just put this clown on your ignore list already. I just did
