yes, +1000. for ****ing real. the people who say these comments obviously have a clear agenda or just plain stupid. he didn't choose "IT over harden.." he chose the celtics over the rockets. to rockets fans defense....rockets might as well = harden. and that's exactly the problem. the celtics represent team basketball with depth at all positions.
Team Houston must have known there was no chance hour #1. Anderson was our real target. Has been for years.

Morey should pick up the phone now and ask for one of those many Boston PF/C that will be available for trade.
But but but, so many clutchfanners said, Houston was SOOOOO much more acttractive, made so much more sense + OMGHardenOMG than Boston!
Seriously? It definitely is much better lol. James gets too much hate on this board. The thing is that Boston has better talent and better coaching which is what makes Boston better than the Rockets at the moment.
When you are KD, and comparing Westbrook and Adams to Thomas and Horford for a decision, are you kidding me?
