    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.

    I will definitely take Steve Adams over Horford in my team.

    Not even close.

    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?
