Joel Blank: Would Harden be able to embrace being the second fiddle to LeBron James?

Chris paul.

Dude im a diehard harden fan and defend him to no end. He is the mvp and a top 2 or 3 player in the entire nba.

But you are kidding yourself if you dont think lebrons relationship with and respect for cp3 is the biggest reason why lebron is considering h town

 

This is BS. How many times have we seen CP3 take over at times with the high screen, elbow pass/jump shot, and penetration moves. Last play when CP3 got injured, he was running the show. Harden has no problem sharing the ball.

As far as Lebron, there's so much BS media comparing him to Jordan. MJ hardly shared the ball. Basketball followers know that LJ models his game first from Magic. Magic made his players better and got people involved. It just happened that this year Bron had no help so he was forced to take over the offense.

Harden, CP3, and Lebron all are intelligent basketball players and will find a way. Getting here is the obstacle.

 

Stop posting every article from the internet on the Rockets
At least look for credibility

What’s next ? Russian sports news ?

 

Guys guys do remember lebron and cp3 will be a year older, father times undefeatable.

 

Yes and possibly - Lebron is the better, more complete and more durable player.

Harden didnt take the warriors to 7 games, rather he blew a 3-2 series lead. Without CP3, Harden lost the last two crucial games despite having sizable leads in both games and that was against a GSW without Iggy who is their best perimeter defender.

Lebron would have likely won one of those games (particularly Game 7) evidenced by how close he came to winning game 1 of the finals. With a better supporting cast, Lebron would have been willing to do much more. In the finals, he just simply decided it wasnt worth it when his 51pts efforts are wasted by boneheaded plays.

 

Well:

CP3 >>> Love
Gordon >>> JR
Capela > Thompson
Tucker >>> Nance
Ariza > Green
Green >> Clarkson

 

LeBron, Carmelo and Paul had "went as far as to detail individual matchups between that hypothetical Rockets team and the Warriors, surmising that he and the Rockets could take out the Warriors," Begley reported. Players that don't plan to come to teams don't have these conversations. Paul doesn't have this conversation or come to the Rockets in the first place without speaking for Harden. After the CP3 trade, Wade, LBJ, and Melo all start throwing respect toward Harden. Coincidence? Everyone acts like this is just happening now because of the dumbass media. This was what we risked this season and we could not have played it any better to ensure this scenario. LBJ wanted out of Cleveland before last season and at the trade deadline but had no way to make it happen due to the late decision of Kyrie. He made the best of it and bulled through and now he is free. He may not go to the Rockets but I challenge anyone to find a better situation for us. That agreed to and failed Melo deal is what made this possible. Now I fully believe that some team will buyout/stretch Melo.

 

LOL Harden is a great teammate and will do what ever it takes to win. SMH at Joel Blank

 

lol no wonder this bum got canned

 

Did you guys see the article a few weeks ago about how Lebron needs to take all of the technical free throws, even though he doesn't have the best FT% on the team? To me this is pretty mindboggling, and shows how adamant he is about being the man.

This is stupid TBH. If anything.... Cp3 and Lebron will be playing second fiddle to the MVP of the NBA.

And who really cares? I know Harden just wants help and wants to win. Lucky to have him.

 

Joel Blank has been a rockets hater ever since he was fired from the organization.

 

Harden not being second fiddle is the problem. He needs the guidance that people like CP3 and Lebum bring.

 

Yah, the writer of the article definitely has an axe to grind with the Rockets.

 

He's validated himself with an MVP doesn't matter what fiddle he plays now because I think he wants that ring. Plus getting bounced by GSW 3 times probably has him burning to beat them.

 

seemed fined with being 3rd fiddle to KD and Westbrook... as long as he gets his $

 

I think it's pretty clear that harden needed another super star in order to beat GSW. After CP went down harden couldn't beat GSW one out of two games. That's speak volumes.

Playoffs is where superstars are made.

Houston Rockets ведет свое происхождение от созданной в 1967 году в Сан-Диего (Калифорния) команды San Diego Rockets. Название клуб поменял в 1971 году после переезда в Хьюстон, штат Техас. За время существования Houston Rockets 25 раз выходили в плей-офф NBA и дважды выиграли чемпионский титул (1994 и 1995 годы). В разные годы за команду играли такие звезды NBA, как Хаким Оладжьювон, Яо Мин и Элвин Хейз.

 

Joel Blank is saltier than a Ritz cracker. Nothing he says about the Rockets should be taken all that seriously. Ever since he got fired, and has gotten his radio gig, all he's ever done is doubt the team and try and stir the pot. Screw that guy.

 

LeBron just got swept!

If his ego is as big as I think it is, THIS one point will make LeBron more accepting of deferring some of the spotlight! Being embarrassed, and a chance at redemption, are major driving forces for people with large egos!

As far as Harden relinquishing some of his reign over the team, we’ll, I think he’s smart enough to know a good thing when he sees it! Having Bron and CP3 playing alongside of him is his best chance at beating the Warriors and getting a ring!

The perfect storm is about to take place (IMHO) and Golden State knows they are going to be underdogs next season against our Rockets!!!

ALL HAIL THE ROCKETS!!!
