    Can we take a second and pay homage to Harden’s durability? The guy is an absolute tank. You can bang him, you can bruise him, but you can’t take him out.

    James has played over 72 games a year since he’s been a Rocket, not counting the playoffs. I don’t remember a game where he’s been “questionable” and hasn’t played. We all know the best ability is availability and he shows up night in and night out.

    I could list 100 reasons why James has EARNED my respect but this might be the the most important. Honestly, I love the guy and I can’t tell you how proud I am to have him representing my lifelong favorite team and the city I was born and raised in.

    Hakeem has greatest Rocket ever legacy.

    But Harden's last 5 years have been better than any stretch in team history. Easily.

    It's a stretch of domination that only a handful have ever had. Like Wilt, Kareem, Jordan Lebron type stuff.

    It's ****ing nonsense man

    James Harden continues with his best Moses Malone impressions

    Hakeem is my all time favorite Rockets, the beard, if he wins a championship, will move into first...He is so good. Its really sad that the NBA doesnt recognize the brilliance that is Harden. A championship and kobe's killer instinct would make him top 10 players of all time.

    And people want to find something wrong with Harden’s game. Yeah ok.

    This level of play is rarely achieved. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate getting a chance to go along on this ride. Wow.

    Jesus could convert water to wine, but could he hit the 3 at a consistent clip? We’ll have to wait for the rapture to find out. I’m not saying harden > Jesus but until Jesus shows me he can hit a jumper they’re at least equals. That’s all I’m saying.

    If you watched the post game interview of Harden, he hears the hate. Looks like he’s feeding off of it and proving people wrong. Love it.

    In that case, keep the hate coming! The realGM boards hate him so much it’s hilarious.

    So last week, I was watching Wizards TV as Beal put up 40-10-9 or something to that effect in an otherwise meaningless triple OT game vs the Suns.

    Now, Beal is a great player and such, but the wizards announce team was going crazy on what a great game he had. And he did have a great game.

    But, for ****s sake James Edward Harden iii does this on the regular. Its incredible

    Tillman should build a statue of Harden right now

    Tillman is too poor and broke. He's the reason why we're not winning and won't make the playoffs. His direction to Morey to not bring back Ariza and shoulderless Luc is the reason why we're not going 82-0 this year.

    Did I do that right @Carl Herrera ?
