    You tell 'em bro. It's not everyday you come across a player who would be better if they improved their decision-making on the court.

    Some players need more improvement than others. Like averaging 6.5 turnovers for an entire month, missing rotations on defense, and taking ill-advised, contested threes.

    I don't know how I even go on as a Rockets fan knowing other people think Harden is frustrating while he quietly drops 29/12/8 on them. And then the media acting like he is the MVP is just the cherry on top. They are just trying to ruin us, they are ALWAYS hyping up Rockets players to our detriment.

    Exactly man, exactly. Some people need more improvement, and Harden is definitely one of them.

    Finally a voice of reason.

    The whole positive narrative surrounding Harden this year (unlike in the past, mind you) was due to us winning. Guess what, that's not happening anymore, and people will go back to hating Harden if he keeps playing like ass.

    You're just dropping nuggets of gold left and right tonight man. At least I'm one of the few who remembers that people were so positive about Harden when he was ALLEGEDLY competing with Curry for that MVP and won the players MVP. They were just making highlight video after highlight video.

    Harden needs to have a meeting with the team and thank them for these 35 wins. They are really carrying him, anyone who can't see that is just a nuthugger.

    and anyone who points out obvious downsides in Harden's game is a hater, even though that's what most non-nuthugger minded people normally do

    It's hilarious that Joomba thinks this BBS is made up of Harden nut huggers when it's clear that there's been no lack of criticism of him when warranted. Your problem and people's problem with you, is that you're nothing but a trail of negativity and criticism. You cant even respect the man's historical performances. Obviously you like the attention so you'll continue playing the troll, but don't expect anyone to take you seriously when you're so disingenuous.

    The narrative of Harden around the league is that he's the MVP. He has flaws but he has a lot of unmatched strengths.

    Westbrook won the media and players' votes over Harden in the allstar ballot, and he's been outplaying Harden as of late

    I feel you man. It's just so infuriating, and I have no idea what I can even point at this season to make myself feel better about it.

    Bro if you're game, I'm up for starting our OWN board, one where we talk about nothing other than all the ways Harden ruins our life and no one can question us. You in? If you shut down your account, I'll take that as a yes and then I'll just find you online somehow don't worry.

    There's nothing wrong with that article. That's warranted criticism and Harden is obviously part of the reason the Rockets struggled in January. You have a straw man argument going against people who think Harden is above criticism. That is not people's problem with you.

    Why would I? I enjoy seeing how nuthuggers react to my criticisms of Harden.

    I get it. You're so wise man. Thanks for talking to me. Maybe one day we can have a beer while watching one long video of Harden turning it over non stop. That would be such an awesome day. I love you.
